These cards will not come close to replacing stronger study material (Kaplan books, etc.) but for quick study breaks while waiting for the train, in the elevator, other places of temporary visitation (bathroom?) these cards are very helpful, It will get you familiar with key GMAT topics that should be covered in greater depth using other materials.
At first glance i thought it was useless but after going thru em, I found em to be quiet explanatory and informative about GMAT and the stuff that it covers. This is by no means detailed knowledge or covers any topics in details. Its just for quick review of materials that you should or are covering in the GMAT book course. I read a couple of cards like 25 a day or 10 cards of before sleeping and by the end of 3 weeks I was familiar with almost all the cards. Then I put it away and a week before Test Day, I got em out again and boy was I happy to see em again. It refreshed concepts or ideas I covered in beginning of GMAT course. HOWEVER, DO NOT RELY ON THIS ONLY FOR PREPARATION. AS I SAID ITS ONLY GOOD FOR REVIEW!!!!!
I needed some extra help in studying for the GMAT. i found this product on and decided to buy it. I am not disappointed. The material in this little box is a plus. I use it in games and this has helped my practice test score improve. Purchasing this product was a good investment
The flash cards are probably not what you're used to in terms of thickness but they make up for it (for the most part) by being more portable. I stacked 100 "regular" flash cards on top of each other and compared them to my GMAT in a box and I realized that the traditional thickness we're all used to would have rendered my GMAT in a box a little hard to haul around.As for the material, well, you can't pass the GMAT with flash cards alone. You absolutely positively have to pick up a GMAT guide (or two) and tediously work through the problems. But you can't haul a round a phone book sized GMAT guide with you everywhere and odds are pretty good that you'll have tons of opportunities to bust out your GMAT flash cards on a fairly regular basis; there's just too many places where GIANT textbook is completely impractical but a tiny (almost but not quite) pocket sized box of GMAT flash cards is. Also keep in mind there's 500 of them.Oh, and they're in a particular order so try not to play 500 card pickup with them. They might introduce a concept on card 295 and expand upon it on the next several flash cards. You can still tell what's going on (easily) if they're out of order but it's easier if they are.The main thing keeping them from getting 5 stars isn't the thickness of the cardboard though. It's the fact that the cards aren't numbered. Thicker cardboard would be nice but I realize that the box would become considerably less portable if that were the case.
I bought them and forgot about them until 3 weeks before my test and now have been loving them. Highly recommend for travelers as an easy way to quiz / review without lugging your books around.Pros: light weight, cover a lot of concepts, color coded for different categories, fair cost, and lots of cards!Cons: cards kinda flimsy, some of the cards aren't helpful and need to be taken out (ex. what is a multiplier), some cards are kaplan 'strategy specific' so if you are taking another class (Manhattan) you will not know what it is talking about.Overall: B+, I'd recommend to any friend and an easy extra.
Not a good use of $15-20. These flash cards would be fantastic if they had useful information on them, but many of them have useless facts about the GMAT rather than about the material on the test. For example, there will be questions like "How many verbal questions are on the GMAT". While it might be important to know that there are 41, I'd much rather be learning about idioms or math formulas that info about the test.
Arrived in a timely manner and well packaged. I researched and researched before I purchased this product. Don't get me wrong it's a goor product , but it doesn't really give all that much information or prepare you very well. But it'll do.
Covers vocabulary and concepts for a comprehensive GMAT prep. Easy to just go through a few of these cards at a time to get ready for the test.
