Book Description

February 15, 2007 1576332233 978-1576332238 CD-Rom
EXAMBUSTERS Study Cards printed/boxed or on CD-Rom are specifically designed for exam preparation: AP, PSAT, New SAT, SAT II, ACT, PRAXIS, PPSAT, New GRE, GED, New GMAT, New MCAT, CLEP, ASVAB, New York State Regents, HSPT, COOP, SSAT, ISEE, and classroom quizzes, tests, and finals. Each EXAMBUSTERS Study Card title provides a concise, focused review of course material. Only essential facts and formulas are presented. We cover many introductory high school and college courses, and our titles are approved by the New York City Board of Education.

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.

Who has benefitted from our study cards?
* high school and college students
* head start oriented grade school students
* parents and grandparents concerned about their children's education
* teachers (for classroom, small group activities)
* tutors (for one-on-one teaching)
* business travelers and tourists


What is special about EXAMBUSTERS Study Cards on CD-Rom?
Cutting edge. . . the only series of its kind. User-friendly software--simple for all ages to explore. Study cards are displayed on the screen, one at a time, and can be eliminated from the stack just like printed cards. Our Screensaver Mode displays a new question and answer every few seconds in random order. Learn subliminally! Finally, our test mode randomly selects questions to create a quiz, mid-term, or final--your choice--a new test every time. The EXAMBUSTERS software program keeps track of the test time limit and grades you at test completion. Grades are stored in a table on the help menu so you can track your progress.

What are the computer system requirements for EXAMBUSTERS Study Cards on CD-Rom?
At least 500 MHZ processor, Intel Pentium II (or equivalent), 128 MB of RAM, 400 MB of disk space. Microsoft Windows XP or VISTA operating system, 2x CD-ROM drive, 256-color SVGA monitor: minimum resolution 800 x 600. Not compatible with Macintosh.

1.0 out of 5 stars waste of money & insult to intelligence, November 18, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ace's SSAT/ISEE Exambusters Study Cards (Ace's Exambusters Study Cards) (CD-ROM)
This product seems to have been created in someone's garage in 1994. The voice says inane things ("uh-oh, better hit the books") and has an accent that doesn't inspire confidence in its level of education. This is only superficial, however. The CDROM installs itself clumsily on your PC (didn't install properly on one of mine), and once you open up this behemoth, what do you get? A poorly designed set of flashcards, reminiscent of PowerPoint circa 1997. The "test" mode (which only has three tests, not unlimited permutations as you would hope from a CDROM) merely shows you a flashcard, invites you to flip it over to check your own answer, and then requires you to click a button to say if you were thinking of the right answer. It's antediluvian. No middle school student could respect this product, nor should they. If these were merely paper flash cards, they would be all right - listing basic math facts so you don't have to write them out for yourself and can spend your time studying. As an electronic product, however, it is worse than a waste of money; it's an insult to intelligence.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this title, July 12, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ace's SSAT/ISEE Exambusters Study Cards (Ace's Exambusters Study Cards) (CD-ROM)
For one, you can only run this software if you have the CD inserted. In my case, I have a PC without a CD drive, so had to get an external drive to install the software just to discover that you can't do a full install (i.e. where you don't need the CD).

I expected something that would allow my son to review all the section associated with the SSAT--not so, this only has math.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT PRODUCT!, August 7, 2008
By 
Shannon Owens (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ace's SSAT/ISEE Exambusters Study Cards (Ace's Exambusters Study Cards) (CD-ROM)
Every year I recommend them to my students. The ones who buy them seem to do a little better than they might have. The cards are numbered, so it's easy to tell them which ones they need to know, and which they can set aside based on the curriculum. It's harder to accomplish that type of culling of information with a review book you'd buy at the superstore.
