The front is a term, the back is often a virtual paragraph. It does not test your quick recall. It's like cutting sections from the pages of a text. There are no diagrams, symbols, or bullet points. Just full sentences on each card. Plus once you take some out of the little box and flip through them, they are well nigh impossible to get back into the box.
Other Kaplan resources have been helpful, but not this one. For review books I've found the Examkrackers series to be the best overall. 17 of 18 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Kaplan New MCAT in a Box (Cards) For the price, I expected these would be printed on a decent cardstock. Instead they are printed on some pretty flimsy paper. In addition, they are not hole punched (for a ring to organize them) or numbered, so it's difficult to grab a bunch for 'on-the-go' studying withing getting them horribly mixed up. 11 of 12 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Kaplan New MCAT in a Box (Cards) When I bought these cards, I really thought that I would be getting something that would genuinely help me study for the MCAT, but it turns out that I was terribly wrong. This is essentially a box of worthless definitions that can easily be taken from the Kaplan Prep book. Additionally, the cards rarely, if ever, explained/showed formulas. The size of the cards is also a downside. They are incredibly small and very easy to misplace. All in all, I have glanced at them and decided that they simply are not worth the trouble. So take my advice, and don't waste your $50. |
