I appreciate Anki is used over a much longer period of time, how I am studying for financial services exams which have 3-month intervals. I see the value in Anki but need it works for me on a shorter-term basis. My number of cards for each exam typically amount to 200. What would the recommended settings be for an exam which is one month away and an exam which is 3 months away Thanks in advance! ---

This strategy works well if you do all your reviews everyday: [https://faqs.ankiweb.net/settings-for-using-anki-to-prepare-for-a-large-exam.html](https://faqs.ankiweb.net/settings-for-using-anki-to-prepare-for-a-large-exam.html) The only two variables that really matter are new cards/ day and review limit (which should be 9999). The other deck options depend on your personal preferences / learning style. If unsure, you can just use the standar options. ---
