AnkiPro vs Study Smarter ?

For reference AnkiPro is just a better looking Anki, in my opinion. I love the simpleness, but studysmarter has student offers and helps with choosing universities, I have no idea what to choose
Annual subscription for AnkiPro: 24.99
For study smarter: 61.99 but limited time offer says 24.99
You can transfer card sets to AnkiPro from Quizlet/anki/whatever but idk if there’s a function for this on StudySmarter

Flashcards mainly! I’d love to hear the 3rd option as well!

Dont know how much help i'll be since I don't usually use flashcards - however using SaveMyExams has drastically helped me - they've got loads of exam style questions specifically made by that site aswell as notes and mock papers <3 they helped me get my physics from a C to a A this year!!

I haven’t looked at SaveMyExams a lot, but I’ll have a look on it! Congrats on getting an A!! That’s amazing!! Did you read the notes and then do all the questions, or something else?

paper notes!! don't apologise about the questions - paper notes consolidate the knowledge more i believe as you have to physically write if thah makes sense...and additionally looking at screens for excessive times is more harmful if that's something you're bothered about. i have little a5 notebooks for each of my subjects - my notes and practice questions go in there. benefit of savemyexams is they automatically assess ur answers against mark schemes too!! plz let me know if you have anymore questions <33
