2.0 out of 5 stars "Cards"? Not so much!, May 27, 2010

Flash "cards" were exactly what I wanted. But that's not what's in the box.

Flash cards are supposed to be on 3x5 heavy stock so you can take about a dozen or 20, put a rubber band around them, and stick them in your pocket so you can study them whenever you have a moment.

What's in the box are 1/2 sheets of paper. Yep - sheets of paper, about 8.5 x 5.5 inches. They're huge and flimsy and glossy, with paragraphs and paragraphs of complex answers. Yes, you have to write paragraphs and paragraphs for your ESSAY answers on the bar exam. But not for the MBE. For the MBE you have to identify the correct answer from 4 choices. For the MBE you need the condensed Readers' Digest version of the rule.

I sent them back the next day. I'll find something else.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, November 15, 2009

These are mainly for reviewing topics on the MBE. Not 'flash cards' like you would expect with problems, but rather topics like "What is mens rea?"

I passed the GA Bar exam and used these cards as my main method of topic review.

Definately would recommend to all.

Congratulations to the first reviewer. I'm happy that you passed the bar your first try, but --if you used these flashcards--I can't understand how. I purchased these with high hopes and was sorely disappointed. These are flashcards in name only. The front of each card presents you with a simple question, but when you flip the card over you find way to much information. For this reason, these are not handy for committing to memory points of law. Many of them have three and four large paragraphs, in small print, containing tons of info; rules, exceptions, exceptions to those exceptions. Occasionally, the cards will waste even more space explaining old rules that (they eventually point out) no longer apply. Two of the cards were misprinted: the answer to the front question was on the back of the next card in line.
Other complaints: the explanations are poorly worded, and I often found myself having to restate the rule or write it out in a way that was less convoluted, punctuation is sometimes lacking, the examples are cheesy and use only letters like X and Y for character names. This is needlessly confusing when the example involves 3 or more characters.
Botton Line: I took the TN bar exam in July '09 and scored a 131 (in TN anything above 135 doesn't help you since you still must pass 7 of 12 essays) using BarBri. So, I tried these cards for the February '10 exam. MY MBE SCORE DROPPED 11 POINTS to a 120! I don't recommend these cards.
