Here is the text from three sample cards. The abbreviation for the part of speech is given before each definition. Please note that the text on the actual cards appears much differently - it is formatted for easy review.

Jocular; JOCK yuh lur; adj. Pertaining to joking or jesting; Santa's reputation as a jocular, happy fellow was altered drastically when the next little boy in line bit him on the leg.

Verbiage; VUR bee idge; n. Wordiness (excessive use of words); n. Diction (the manner in which one speaks); Verbiage does not lend authority to one's writing; rather, it buries meaning in a heap of useless words.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE. Best Investment I Ever Made!, December 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: SAT Vocabulary Set 1: High-Frequency SAT 1 Words [With 24 Page Study GuideWith 24 Blank CardsWith Carrying Pouch] (Paperback)

The tried and true method of using flash cards is the way to go. It is the simplest way of augmenting your vocabulary with hundreds of new words. It could be used as a preparatory tool for an exam or for self-enrichment. The Easy-Prep set helped prepare me for the Verbal section of the GRE (Perfect for the SAT as well). By learning about 30 words a day, I was able to significantly raise my score. The set contains 750 neatly printed flash cards (business card size) and a review sheet with all the words and definitions listed on it. Each card includes concise, easy to remember definitions, the phonetic pronunciation, and a brief sentence using the word (extremely helpful). Don't deliberate, just order it--you'll be glad you did

5.0 out of 5 stars Crucial for SAT study, April 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: SAT Vocabulary Set 1: High-Frequency SAT 1 Words [With 24 Page Study GuideWith 24 Blank CardsWith Carrying Pouch] (Paperback)

Without a shadow of a doubt, this is by far the best way to study vocabulary. I have studied many of the famous SAT books on the market, and despite all the tricks they teach you, nothing is better than knowing your stuff. The Easy-Prep flash cards are a rare gem, because it is full of SAT-type words that are on index cards. The cards themselves are very nicely done, the size of business cards, and are superb. To anyone serious about the SAT I, or just about increasing your vocabulary, this is the best way to go.
