EDITORIAL REVIEW

EXAMBUSTERS Study Cards printed/boxed or on CD-Rom are specifically designed for exam preparation: AP, PSAT, New SAT, SAT II, ACT, PRAXIS, PPSAT, New GRE, GED, New GMAT, New MCAT, CLEP, ASVAB, New York State Regents, HSPT, COOP, SSAT, ISEE, and classroom quizzes, tests, and finals. Each EXAMBUSTERS Study Card title provides a concise, focused review of course material. Only essential facts and formulas are presented. We cover many introductory high school and college courses, and our titles are approved by the New York City Board of Education.

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)

Who wrote the cards?
High school teachers, test prep coaches, language experts, professional interpreters and translators, and college professors, with a focus on preparing students for standardized tests such as the AP, New SAT, SAT II, PRAXIS, GRE, GED, GMAT, MCAT, ACT, CLEP, and many others. Each Course in a Box or Course on CD-Rom covers the basics of a full year introductory course. EXAMBUSTERS Study Cards focus only on essential facts, definitions, and formulas. The flash cards were designed to help students learn and review courses efficiently.

What is the advantage of flash card study over textbooks and review 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 game.
---Portable: Learn a few each day. A sense of accomplishment grows as your stack of I have no idea! decreases, and the stack of I know the answer! increases.

Who has benefitted from our study cards?
* high school and college students
* head start oriented grade school students
* parents and grandparents concerned about their children's education
* teachers (for classroom, small group activities)
* tutors (for one-on-one teaching)

What is special about EXAMBUSTERS Study Cards on CD-Rom?
Cutting edge. . . the only series of its kind. User-friendly software--simple for all ages to explore. Study cards are displayed on the screen, one at a time, and can be eliminated from the stack just like printed cards. Our Screensaver Mode displays a new question and answer every few seconds in random order. Learn subliminally! Finally, our test mode randomly selects questions to create a quiz, mid-term, or final--your choice--a new test every time. The EXAMBUSTERS software program keeps track of the test time limit and grades you at test completion. Grades are stored in a table on the help menu so you can track your progress.

not mac compatible
~ Written on Feb 5, 2010. out of users found this review helpful.

bought this as a christmas gift in November, found out after giving it that it was not mac compatible though the seller did not indicate this anywhere on the page, had to get the gift back after the 30 day return policy.....amazon allowed for the late return but charged for the return shipping! Why do they not indicate that it is not macintosh compatible?

waste of money & insult to intelligence

This product seems to have been created in someone's garage in 1994. The voice says inane things ("uh-oh, better hit the books") and has an accent that doesn't inspire confidence in its level of education. This is only superficial, however. The CDROM installs itself clumsily on your PC (didn't install properly on one of mine), and once you open up this behemoth, what do you get? A poorly designed set of flashcards, reminiscent of PowerPoint circa 1997. The "test" mode (which only has three tests, not unlimited permutations as you would hope from a CDROM) merely shows you a flashcard, invites you to flip it over to check your own answer, and then requires you to click a button to say if you were thinking of the right answer. It's antediluvian. No middle school student could respect this product, nor should they. If these were merely paper flash cards, they would be all right - listing basic math facts so you don't have to write them out for yourself and can spend your time studying. As an electronic product, however, it is worse than a waste of money; it's an insult to intelligence.

Don't buy this title

For one, you can only run this software if you have the CD inserted. In my case, I have a PC without a CD drive, so had to get an external drive to install the software just to discover that you can't do a full install (i.e. where you don't need the CD).

I expected something that would allow my son to review all the section associated with the SSAT--not so, this only has math.

CLASSROOM AID -- Liked the software.

My students love them. We use them in class for group study and a jeopardy/trivia game. They're good review before finals and good preview for upcoming lessons. Exambusters cover the basics in an unconfusing format. In our learning center, we use the software. It's easy to figure out. Just click around and all the functions are clear. Students can remove cards they know or don't need from a virtual stack of cards, the same as if they had index cards printed. The screensaver helped with vocabulary study especially. The computer test was different each time and no matter how many times it was taken. There are three lengths to choose from, quiz, mid-term, and final.

Good Reinforcement

Try these first to review math and/or vocabulary you haven't seen for awhile. Just the basics are presented and I found I already knew some of the answers, but other times, the cards filled in the gaps. That's what's good about flash cards, you can pull out the ones you don't need. Can't do that with a work book unless you want to rip out some pages and use a lot of white out!! The software and the cards were both helpful; the same information in two different forms. Thanks, Exambusters. You've covered it all and given me more confidence!
