Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Helpful and easy to use
These flash cards are great! The box is so small that I carry it in my purse -- I can study anytime I have a free moment.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Some words missing
There are a lot of words in the GRE sample test that were not covered like cajole or penchant.
