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.

Rating:  - The cards STINK!
I bought them from barnes and noble thinking...maybe. I was wrong. Save your twelve dollars and get examkrackers. You can learn more from googling mcat topics than you can studying these cards. Please don't buy these cards. I hope the manufacturer goes bankrupt.
Rating:  - Not the best but good enough
I took the MCAT many years ago before many of the changes it has undergone over the past few years. That said, I felt that these review cards were really usefull for test preparation. Certainly they are not meant to be primary study tools, and of course they lack the detail needed to learn the grand scheme of things. But for a fast/portable reference tool, nothing beats these things. I used them mostly to jog my memory and to fill in gaps in my knowledge base. I would take a stack of 50 or so and ... Read More

Rating: - Horrible. Will lower your MCAT SCore
They are that bad. They give terms with vague definitions, and it's just bad. Will frustrate you. Is not worth your time. I promise.
Rating:  - You get what you pay for.
I had used Exambusters study cards in high school as a way to inexpensively prepare for the Verbal section of the SAT. Many words contained vague definitions, and a few had incorrect parts of speech. But I thought that was an isolated incident and that their MCAT cards would be much better. I was wrong. Like someone else said, the set contained too many useless cards (plant biology) and too few helpful cards (not enough organic chemistry cards!). In short, my sister could have put together a ...
