Anki and practice questions are good at different things. Spaced repetition is very effective for facts you must simply remember — port numbers, acronyms, limits, service names. It is much weaker for scenario reasoning, which is what most certification questions actually test.
The common mistake is building a large deck of scenario cards. They are slow to write, slow to review, and they do not train the skill the exam measures. Keep Anki narrow.
This page describes a study workflow, not an integration. CertStud has no technical integration or partnership with Anki, and none is implied.
Retaining facts you keep forgetting — terminology, numeric limits, acronyms.
Exam-style practice with explanations, domain accuracy, flashcards for exam terminology, and timed full-length exams.
Only make a card for something you actually got wrong. Deciding what to memorise before you have been tested is how decks become unmaintainable.
One fact per card. Multi-part cards are slow to review and hide which part you did not know.
CertStud already has flashcards covering exam terminology per certification. Start there, and use Anki only for whatever you still keep missing.
Spaced repetition can absorb unlimited time. Cap it, and treat exam-style practice as the primary activity.

No. CertStud does not offer an Anki export, and this page does not imply an integration. CertStud has its own flashcards covering exam terminology, and Anki is used separately for your own cards.
Start with the CertStud flashcards for your certification, since they are already written around exam terminology. Add Anki cards only for facts you keep missing, and only for things you got wrong in practice.
