 Rating: - GRE Vocab CardsBought 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.

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) ... Read More
