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)

books?
---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

I've tried several courses: math, science, history and language. My kids
especially love the Sign Language cards! I purchased all three card sets and the
CD-software. The photographs are more realistic than drawings which you mostly
find in ASL products. Great for younger kids too. My daughter's using them in
her Brownie troupe and my three-year-old has picked up on some of the alphabet
and numbers already. My older son has some mild learning disabilities and
looking at a page in a book with so much information all together makes him
nervous. I put one card at a time on a cleared table. It helps him focus and
that gives him more confidence. People have been making or using flash cards
forever, and I think they always will be no matter how fancy computers and
software gets (but the Exambusters software is good too). I've recommended them
to others.

When I was in school, flash cards were the best way to learn and I always made
my own. The exambusters cards cover many of my daughter's courses and I bought
her several. Sometimes we work together and she and her friends study in a group
too--making a trivia game. Try the software. The screensaver function is great!!
In our house, we love to learn new languages. The program flashes words or
phrases and then translation every few seconds. The material goes into your
brain by osmosis and the constantly changing cards on the screen keep pulling
you back to read more. The software is much easier to figure out than some other
brands we've purchased. It's intuitive; you don't need to read a lot of
confusing instructions. All in all, good investment.

In junior high, my son got a head start on high school courses and that helped
him get better grades. He used both cards and CD. My son liked the software, so
he studied more than he would have from a book. Learning is hard work, but the
exambusters made him feel like it's not quite so bad. The software is well-laid
out, colorful, and user-friendly. The messages they give when they score the
tests are amusing.

I 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.

Every year I recommend them to my students. The ones who buy them seem to do a
little better than they might have. The cards are numbered, so it's easy to tell
them which ones they need to know, and which they can set aside based on the
curriculum. It's harder to accomplish that type of culling of information with a
review book you'd buy at the superstore.

I bought the cards for students I tutor for SAT/ACT/GED. I have them memorize
the cards first. Otherwise, I'd have to dictate a vocabulary and formula list to
each of them and that wastes time better spent on solving problems together and
discussing concepts.

The vocabulary on these cards is weak. It did manage to help me pass the Praxis
Specialty Area Exam, but, I found better study aides than this one.

This is an inexpensive set of flash cards (over 300) for Spanish. For beginners,
it is a good value.
