I did a big surge of learning this way for a post-graduate exam in 2010. It was very effective, much better than any of the 'usual' ways of learning.
However, once the exam was over, there was no way I could maintain the 1 hour plus of card review each day. Eight years later I remember very little of what I learned.
Admittedly I was studying quite hard, ending up with nearly 4000 cards after 6 weeks, perhaps there is more luck with less intense schedules. The material was also complex and esoteric.

- misiti3780 8y ago4000 cards in six weeks is completely doable long term as long as you configure ANKI correctly. As an example, I have 14000 cards in my Italian deck, which I have been making for 2.5 years, and 6K in my french deck, and I do my reviews in < 30 minutes a day. Everyone can find 30 minutes
