This review is from: Kaplan GMAT in a Box (Cards)
These flash cards are not as helpful as I anticipated. I have the GMAT 2011 Premier book which is much more useful. Of course, the GMAT in a Box is not sold as a substitute, but as a supplement to the GMAT 2011 Premier book. In my opinion, if you have the book, don't bother with this item. There aren't as many examples as I expected. Many cards just review the Kaplan methods...which you could get by taking notes or highlighting certain points in the book. I was hoping for more sentence correction problems and math problems. If you want more practice after studying the book, I'd just buy their Verbal Workbook or the Math Workbook if you feel that you need more practice with one or the other.

I'm not even half way through the math flash cards and I've encountered multiple obvious errors. Things like the answer on the back won't have anything to do with the questions on the front, the question will say "Find the area of the trapezoid above" and the it will be an image of a square that really goes with the question on the next card, there will be division symbols where there are supposed to be plus symbols in the answer explanation. It makes me feel like I need to verify each of their answers, can't be sure it's correct information.
Does Kaplan not proofread their stuff? This is just embarrassing for them.
Also the cards are flimsier than you think. They're printed on thin paper.
