If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
Why does it work? Best practices for optimizing test scores with Anki? Drawbacks or things to avoid? Success stories? Are there people with learning-styles where Anki would not be effective?
People don't have something like inherent learning styles. They have strategies for learning. Using Anki is a learning style.
One frequent error when making Anki cards is to think that the card should contain the solution to an exam question. That leads to cards that are too complicated.

Could you expand on this? (Or point me to something already written.)
