Anki uses a Sqlite database. If you have practice exams, you can scrape these (for example with Python + beautifulsoup) and put the results in a Sqlite database which you can then load (and export if you wish). The legality of this practice is your own responsibility.

With regards to code I suppose on-hands practice is the best way to learn that. The difficulty of making your own flashcards is well known, and the article addresses it. I'd like to add that the time you spend on making good flashcards isn't time wasted. You're learning the material while you make your own deck! You also ensure you understand the material. That being said, I do share my decks.
