Why are Study Cards the best way to learn?
Because we learn most effectively when we can:
---absorb information in small, progressive increments.
---take an active part in the process
---receive immediate feedback (the answer is shown as soon as we fill in the blank)
Who wrote the cards?
High school teachers, test prep coaches, language experts, professional interpreters and translators, and college professors, with a focus on preparing students for standardized tests such as the AP, New SAT, SAT II, PRAXIS, GRE, GED, GMAT, MCAT, ACT, CLEP, and many others. Each Course in a Box or Course on CD-Rom covers the basics of a full year introductory course. EXAMBUSTERS Study Cards focus only on essential facts, definitions, and formulas. The flash cards were designed to help students learn and review courses efficiently.
What is the advantage of flash card study over textbooks and review books?
---Parents, tutors, and teachers can work together with students. Perfect for home schooling!
---Groups of students can have fun turning a study session into a trivia game.
---Portable: Learn a few each day. A sense of accomplishment grows as your stack of I have no idea! decreases, and the stack of I know the answer! increases.

Summary: Cards and CD are okay 2008-12-22
Comment: The cards are very plain and simple. Almost ALL the material you've heard of before. It's mostly for review. One side will say "Which nitrogenous bases pair in DNA?" and the other side will say "Adenine & Thymine; cytosine & Guanine". There's more than a thousand and each card is about the size of a business card.
The CD is nice to a degree. All the cards you see are in the CD program too. It's basically a flash program. Taking a quiz is not really taking a quiz. It just shows you the question, you look at the answer, and you check off if you got it right or not and it'll add up which ones you got right and wrong.
On the CD program, if you are on card 500 for example. And you close out of the program and open back up. You'll start with card 1 and you have to Press 'NEXT' 499 times to pick up where you left off. Unless you want to delete the cards, which you can.
Besides that, it's a good reviewing tool.
