Exam Notifier provides users with notifications that a card will appear after an upcoming exam date. This feature allows the user to determine how to answer the card (i.e. Again, Hard, Good, Easy) or determine if rescheduling the card is deemed necessary. For example, a user may struggle with a particular subject and despite their ability to answer the card correctly, that they would like to revist these cards on the days leading up to their exam.
Many of us use Anki to prepare for exams. Some of us use Anki to learn a language in preparation for a trip to another country. Exam Notifier will tell you which cards are set to reappear after your test date. For example, if my big exam is coming up in 27 days and the current card is set to reappear in 28 days, this addon will notify you of this fact and give you the option to reschedule that card to reappear sooner for further review(s).

How to use
Go to the options for your deck. There you can check “enable exam notifier for this deck” and set an Exam Name and date. Exam notifier will then notify you if a card will be scheduled past that due date when hitting the “Good” button

Easy solution from ChatGPT if you're getting error on new anki version:
Open this file:
/Users/***yourusername***/Library/Application Support/Anki2/addons21/236593452/libaddon/gui/notifications.py
Go to around line 307 and make sure this line:
self.parent().mapToGlobal(QPoint(x, y)) # type:ignore
is changed to:
self.parent().mapToGlobal(QPoint(int(x), int(y))) # type:ignore

The add-on still works if instead of clicking on deck options, you shift + click on options (pulls up alternate menu), then go to exams tab.

Nice addon - thanks !

It would be nice to have the option to dismiss the popup either by clicking a hotkey or clicking anywhere on the screen (or both). It would also be nice to be able to choose where the popup spawns or the size. I ask this because sometimes the popup blocks stuff and it would be much more efficient to be able to have those alternative options rather than specifically clicking on that x button. I understand this is a small complaint, but it has been a personal pain point that I feel would enhance t

Great add-on. I also had issues with Anki crashing after selecting my exam date on the calendar. Have to just manually type my exam date instead and it worked.
### 👍 2024-01-29
Update: 1/24, add-on no longer works and causes Anki to crash whenever attempts to adjust exam date/name are made. Reported issue on GitHub but no response or acknowledgment of problem.
Super helpful! As others have stated, potentially relocating the pop-up to a region that does not obstruct card content and upcoming review intervals would be highly beneficial. Potentially one of the upper corners.

We're working on it! We'll get it fixed. Thank you for reporting on Github

Amazing add on! But is there a way for us to have exam notifier based on tags?
### 👍 2023-11-27
Does not show up as it had before in the settings menu.
Edit: I can't upgrade to 23.10.1 because some addons I use don't support that yet. However I did switch to 2.1.64 but still, no reviewed cards are being recognized as being reviewed once I use the exam notifier add, Anki just shows zero cards reviewed even though they (cards) have been scheduled.

Please report this on the github link and we will happily look into this. I believe this is an issue

Great addon! 10/10
I have multiple subdecks just to have different exam notifications going on at one time based on the cards. Is there anyway a new feature could be added to customize the color of the popup? So each exam notification could have a different color and easier/faster to know which exam notification I'm looking at.

That's something we've considered! If you can submit an issue on Github that would be helpful!

To those who can't access the exam notifier option: Press/Hold Shift and then press the option menue of your deck. Another menue will open than just hitting the options of your deck... And there you can see "Exam" and there are the options for the Exam Notifier. I'm out of practice, my englisch ist not the best but I hope it helped.
Works fine. Only disturbing thing is, that it i didn't find a way to put the notification in the right lower corner yet... So the Exam notifier pups up in the middl
