Ace's Exambusters MCAT Study Cards (Exambusters) (ISBN 1881374815) Book Reviews 1-7 Sorted By Most Recent, at VeryWellSaid.com

INEXPENSIVE TOOL FOR REVIEW - HELPED WITH SEVERAL CLASSES; SOFTWARE SCREENSAVER TEACHES BY OSMOSIS

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.

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.

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 review them while I was waiting in traffic, during my break at work, or while on the bus/train ride to school. They are portable and you can go through them really quickly. It would be a waste of time to use these as a primary study tool or to spend hours on end memorizing and scrutinizing them, but as a quick reference, they work great.

Used in the appropriate manner, these can be an invaluable tool to raise your score.

Great Tool

For anyone interested in going to medical school this set is the ideal one. Initially, I thought it was simple cards for high school but it builds a foundation and then progresses on to more complicated topics that I had forgotten over the years. Great tool.

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.

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 better set using her high school biology notes.
