Key Points about Flashpoints:

A Proven Learning Method
Flashpoints is an active learning system, not passive reading material. Using flashcards is an age-old, tried and true learning method and is one of the most effective ways to absorb and retain information.

Comprehensive
Flashpoints is the most comprehensive flashcard study system available for the SAT I. It contains a vast quantity of information presented in a highly organized format. The cards are arranged by subject, question type, and difficulty level. Questions are formatted just as they would appear on the actual exam. Answers contain detailed explanations and refer to other cards with similar content.

Expertly Written
Flashpoints was written by a select team of writers and editors. Their thorough understanding of the SAT I requirements and their individual expertise combine to produce a truly exceptional study system.

Effective
Flashpoints questions are formatted to simulate the actual exam. The cards help you master test-taking skills with each question, while providing immediate feedback with each answer and explanation. This question and answer format is designed to dramatically increase your retention of the information and improve your exam performance.

Convenient
Flashpoints is portable; take some with you to the beach, to a friends house, or on the bus. Unlike books, courses, or computer software, the cards can go wherever you go. Study any time, any place.

Interactive
Flashpoints flashcards promote active and interactive learning. Use the cards alone, with a friend, or in groups. Games can be played, rewards given, progress monitored. Reduce the stress of preparing for the SAT I by studying with Flashpoints. It's easy and it works.

FLASHPOINTS VERBAL SET
The verbal section of the SAT I is primarily a test of your vocabulary skills. The Flashpoints verbal set will test your knowledge of words. In addition to the three SAT I verbal question types, Critical Reading, Analogies, and Sentence Completions, Flashpoints includes a fourth section of cards dedicated to Vocabulary review. An extensive vocabulary list has been incorporated throughout the set, appearing in bold face type. This list consists of many words that have appeared, or are likely to appear on the exam.

FLASHPOINTS MATH SET
The math section of the SAT I exam will test your knowledge of arithmetic, geometry, algebra, and logical reasoning. In addition to the three sections of the SAT I math question types, Student-Produced Response, Standard Multiple Choice, and Quantitative Comparisons, Flashpoints includes a fourth section of cards for your review of math terms and concepts.

FLASHPOINTS SURVIVAL GUIDE
The set also includes an instruction booklet which reviews the exam format, provides test taking strategies, and offers instructions on how to use Flashpoints. A practice answer sheet and directions for creating an infinite number of practice exams is also included.

5.0 out of 5 stars I recommend this product to all high school students., July 14, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Flashpoints, SAT Survival Kit (Cards)
I think this product is very handy. It's easy to carry and gives a lot of great pointers. I especially like how everything is separated and I can go straight to the areas that are my weak points. I recommend this product to all high school students.
