I'm a huge fan of flashcards, and I'd like to use Anki because it will work on all of my devices. However, I hate spaced repetition! I prefer a system where I can flag cards I get wrong, and use those (and only those) to study for exams.
Is there a way to do this with Anki, or another software that is available on PC? (Preferably Mac and PC). I'm fine with paying for software as long as it's available on PC.
Sure, just study all of the Anki cards and then build a Custom Study → Review Forgotten Cards deck for however many days out you want to be.
Or, as you study all of your Anki cards, Mark each one (hit * or the star in the upper right corner) that you get wrong and when you want to study for the exam, pull those out and study them.
Or, just search in the Browser for missed cards.
You can set up your intervals so that you only see them once, or you see them all every day, or whatever you want to do with it. Anki lets you do pretty much everything; if you want to 'hack' it to be utterly inefficient for the long term because your only goal is that exam, go for it. It seems like a waste of the effort put in making the cards you
don't end up studying, but there you have it.
Anki's SRS setup is only inefficient if you are using it only for cramming. Then, I agree, there are faster ways to brute force everything in, as long as you're willing to forget it all later. The Custom Study modes let you use Anki for both purposes, which is what I prefer. If you're only using it to cram I don't see the point in investing the effort in those cards to begin with.
