Kaplan ACT flash cards: info was ok, but print/font on flash cards was VERY small and faint. Could have easily been printed so it was easier to read.

This review is from: Kaplan ACT in a Box (Cards)

There are over 600 flashcards that provide detailed tidbits that will increase your ACT score. The cards are small enough to fit in your backpack, purse or desk drawer. The cards are colored coded according to subject and chock full of information. The Math cards have information on general math (common terms, formulas, and concepts) and math problems (sample test questions and step-by-step explanations). Reading cards contain vocabulary (detailed with word, part of speech and pronunciation with the definition, synonym and word in a sentence on the back) and word roots. The Science cards cover general science, chemistry, biology, and physics basics. The English cards review grammar basics most commonly tested, word choice, idioms, prepositions and the new optional writing tips.

If you are preparing to take the ACT exam, this would be a great investment. As an ACT prep instructor, I recommend that my students get these cards and use them everyday. Not only do they serve as excellent study tools for the ACT but great for anyone wanting to brush up on their basic education.

This review is from: Kaplan ACT in a Box (Cards)

Printed with 7 point typeface -- completely unnecessary eye strain. (7 point is smaller than the legal limit for fine print on most consumer contracts and advertising, for instance.) Most cards have 99% of the space blank -- plenty of room for a much larger typeface. Some cards need the tiny font size to fit a lengthy answer on the reverse, but there is no reason why ALL of the cards used such ridiculously small print. Don't plan to use these anywhere unless 1) you have strong direct light, and 2) you can hold the card close to your face. I haven't used the cards in earnest yet, the content seems useful enough from a quick flip-through. The cards are thin, but good quality otherwise.
