Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - GRE Vocab Cards
Bought these cards to study for the GRE general test. I haven't taken the test yet, so I can't comment on how many of these words showed up on the test. But as for the cards themselves, they seem to be pretty good. I knew 30-35% of the words before-hand, but that still left hundreds of words to learn. There is a good variety of words in the cards, but the definitions were definitely lacking. They seemed to all be 3-4 word definitions made up by the author, rather than dictionary definitions.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very helpful
After I took the GRE the first time I realized I need to expand my vocabulary. These flash cards were soooo helpful. I studied about 50/day and mastered them in about 10 days. The only thing I wish they had on them were anatonyms.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very accurate word list
I was pleasantly surprised when I took the GRE to find that the words I studied in these 500 flash cards were on many of the test questions (and those words in the answer choices ended up being the right answer).

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Review
These vocab cars are great. They are nice quality: they have the definition, a sample sentence, part of speech, and synonyms. Hopefully they help when I take the GRE.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Disappointing
I bought a variety of GRE study materials, and the Kaplan cards were my least favorite. The words are good, but all that is provided is a simple definition. The Barron's flashcards have definitions, antonyms, a sample sentence completion and a sample analogy. The Kaplan cards were far more simple, which some people might prefer. I happen to prefer more thorough cards, so I was disappointed with these. The cards themselves are very small (roughly the size of the Chance and Community Chest cards in Monopoly) ...
