Why are Study Cards the best way to learn?
Because we learn most effectively when we can:
---absorb information in small, progressive increments.
---take an active part in the process
---receive immediate feedback (the answer is shown as soon as we fill in the blank)

---Parents, tutors, and teachers can work together with students. Perfect for home schooling!
---Groups of students can have fun turning a study session into a trivia game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review what you forgot from Freshman Science, April 28, 2000

By	David Lester Jones (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews

If you are like me, studying for the MCAT means hauling out and blowing the dust off of freshman (or maybe even high school if you took AP!) notebooks, labs and texts. It also means turning every page of those books and looking through the three year old highlighting. Going though a pack of Exambusters and separating out the cards you know from the cards you can't remember will give you a pretty good idea of your weak areas. Then you can hit the books to brush up on those particular topics. There is no organic, but then again, organic would probably take up two boxes just by itself. If you want a fuller review, you can try their Chemistry, Physics and Biology separately (Just Click on the editor: Elizabeth Burchard, and you'll get a full list of titles). The three sets are about 1000 cards total. When you're done, pass them to your kid sister or brother to help them with high school science.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worse than useless, March 21, 2004

By	C. Chastine "literary femme" (Lexington, KY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These cards are absolutely terrible. First, they're full of information that simply won't be tested on the MCAT -- plant biology, constants that don't have to be memorized, and nearly useless formulas and definitions. Second, there are several errors, and there are at least two pairs of cards that are exact duplicates. Third, they're not nearly in-depth enough or specific enough. They don't help you remember the hardest MCAT material -- the hard-to-remember formulas aren't tested, and the difficult details aren't asked for. They'll only give you a false sense of security. I don't recommend buying these cards unless you actually want to hurt your MCAT score. What a waste of $11.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good... if you want to lower your MCAT score, January 27, 2000

By	David Letbetter (PA) - See all my reviews

I should have listened to Paul Mansour's advice. Most of the cards are very general, and sometimes worthless. For example- subject: chemistry. The front of the card says "CONVERSION FACTOR". The back of the card says "A fraction which expresses and equality between 2 units of measurement and can be used to convert from 1 to the other". No kidding. There are a few decent biolgy and physics cards for definitions and equations, but there are NO cards for organic chemistry. I guess you get what you pay for. But for 9 dollars + shipping, you could go see a movie like 'Next Friday', have popcorn too, and probably benefit just as much in prep for the MCAT as these study cards.
