 - IMPROVED VOCABULARYHelped me to prepare for the exam. I tried taking sample tests in some review books, but ended up turning to the cards first for review, then those sample tests were easier to tackle. The vocabulary section was really helpful. Some of the words I learned came up on the exam, and as a separate bonus my reading comprehension and working vocabulary in general have improved. I've tried to add these "well-educated" words to my every day speech which sometimes annoys my friends but impresses anyone over thirty! Rating:  - INEXPENSIVE TOOL FOR REVIEW - HELPED WITH SEVERAL CLASSES; SOFTWARE SCREENSAVER TEACHES BY OSMOSISI bought several courses. The cards offer basic concepts in small bites. The information was relevant to what was presented by my teacher. The cards and CD's gave good review before exams and a head start at the start of the new school year. The cards had a lot of questions; you can carry them in your pocket and learn a few each day. The software was easy to use. It is like the cards but on the screen. You can take a test or just review. Front is question, click for answer on back of card. The software can also show the cards on the screen at random, first the question, then the answer. They change every few seconds. That keeps you reading and wondering what's coming up next. It's entertaining while you're studying. Rating:  - Not helpfulI am using various study tools, and these cards are usually left on the bookshelf because they are a waste of time. The definitions on the vocab cards are confusing and there are errors on the math cards. It might be a quick review but in no way complete. If you do use these cards, it should only be as a supplemental tool to a study guide (I like Barron's) which will give you a much better idea to what the test is like. Rating: - Not Very HelpfulThe vocabulary cards had three words per card - I would have preferred one per card so I could divide the words I knew from those I needed to learn. The math cards had solutions but no explanations. I did not find them useful. Rating: - Quick review which saves timeThe vocabulary words in this set have appeared on several of the practice tests I've taken. The math basics were helpful to review. Memorizing these cards filled in some missing pieces and made me feel much more prepared to take the test. page 1 of 2
