Customer Rating: Summary: Words are actually used in tests Comment: I used these flashcards to study vocab for the MAT. The words often have meanings other than what I thought they did - good to be corrected. The words did show up and made the difference in getting the analogy correct. Easy to carry. Customer Rating: Summary: Saves time Comment: I always make my own index cards, but this saves me time and money, actually. Plus, I would never have been able to choose 500 words myself! Customer Rating: Summary: So many words so little time Comment: While studying these cards I thought they were the best thing ever... Then I started taking practice tests and then I took the real thing, the GRE general exam and realized they were kind of useless. The box has so many words and they are presented in a great easy to study format. Unfortunately though, the GRE uses a lot of the same words over and over again which account for a very small portion of the words in this "exam in a box". In short I recommend buying the GRE Premier edition with CD-Rom. In the book it gives you a list of the 20 most popular words on the GRE, of which I saw about 3/4 of on the test.
In the end I did pretty well on my verbal and I studied the cards constantly so there just might be something to it. Customer Rating: Summary: Good Study Guide Comment: This is a good study guide for the GRE. The small cards can be used wherever you want to study. I haven't taken the GREs yet, so I don't know how many words will be used, but as of now, I've found them useful. Customer Rating: Summary: Helpful Cards Comment: These cards are a helpful review, but if you have the time before you take the GRE you should memorize "root" words.
