These cards are an easy way to boost your SAT-specific vocabulary. The flashcard format allows for quick repetition, more than with books in my opinion. I only wish they had pronunciation keys next to the definitions. I recommend these cards along with "Verbal Advantage" and a pocket dictionary for a lasting vocabulary increase. Daily reading, however, is still your best bet for a lifelong and effective vocabulary. These cards are just tools to speed up the process.

This review is from: Essential SAT Vocabulary (flashcards) (College Test Preparation) (Cards)

This set of cards can be very helpful if you are preparing for the SAT and your vocabulary bank needs more work. However, the effect of these study cards will vary greatly from person to person, as this set contains some words that are used in everyday language and I really would not consider them to be "SAT vocabulary". If you already have a very good knowledge of SAT vocabulary, then you should look elsewhere. If you need work and need to learn SAT vocabulary quick, buying this will give you an easy and effective tool to the understanding of the basic words found in the SAT. By no means will this completely prepare you for EVERY word you will see on the SAT however, and if that was your goal, then you should complement this with more vocab to study.
