I love love love these flashcards! They are very detailed and basically have everything you need to know at the level of medical school. I have never taken anatomy before and it was really hard for me to underatand the location of things when studying before dissection and buying these flash cards is a smart decision I made. I highly recommend them! Thanks Kaplan!

Like anything worth doing in life, remembering and retaining all 290 words in this book will not be easy.  Will it still be worth your effort to master these words?  YES! YES! YES!  Why?, because a HUGE component of reading comprehension comes down to understanding vocabulary words.

VC teaches words commonly found on SAT exams.  In turn, the SAT tests words (such as "melancholy" [depression of spirits] or "countenance" [a person's facial expression]) that are commonly found throughout English Literature.  Thanks to VC, I now know these two words by heart.

I should also point out that this book is not political!  You will not take "umbrage" [a sense of insult; to take offense] by the content.

Now on to the important part of my review.  I can honestly say that it took me well over a year to remember and incorporate all 290 words into my everyday vocabulary!  Why so long?  Even with the excellent cartoons, there are simply too many words to remember all of the subtle differences between the words.  For example, what is the difference between the words "abhor" and "abominate"?  "beleaguer" and beset"?  How about "allure", "assuage", and "balm"?  Also, many words have different meanings.  For example, "pique" [as a verb - to arouse curiosity] or [as a noun - resentment or irritation stemming from wounded pride].

That said, I believe the most fool-proof method to memorize ALL of the words is via the lowly flashcard.  There I said it.  Here's how to do it.  Write three words per flash card.  On the front, write the word, grammar type (noun, adj. etc.) and the link word to the right.  Then under each word write the caption sentence.  On the back of each card write the definition.  The best definition to use is the short definition that is used in the Reviews at the end of each section.  Does this method work?  Yes!

You can do it too!

The hallmark of any gaijin teaching her or himself Japanese is this: a bookshelf full of books, workbooks and flashcards of disappointingly low usefulness (and often exclusively in Romaji - WTF?!!)  Throughout my own trial-and-error, I'm grateful to have stumbled across one nugget of gold: White Rabbit Kanji Flashcards.

I'm taking University-level Japanese (we use Genki) and was looking for some supplemental Kanji materials (the Genki text is a little Kanji-light, methinks).  I tried several different books and cards without satisfaction (including Tuttle) until I discovered White Rabbit.  Now my Kanji skills are way ahead of everyone else in my class--I know on-yomi and kun-yomi, common compounds, stroke order.

Don't be daunted by what looks like TMI!  As other reviewers have pointed out, these cards are extremely well thought out and organized:
- They follow the JLPT levels (although I can attest that they are great even if you have no intent to ever take the JLPT)
- They use kana for all pronunciation (Sayonara romaji!)
- They incorporate 6 frequently used compounds on each Kanji (this has turned out to be a huge aid for me in memorization as it provides a "context" for the individual Kanji)
- Plus radical breakdown, stroke order, commonly mistaken Kanji, an excellent index, and they're really durable cards!

I've now moved on to Volume 2 and just cannot recommend these cards highly enough!  Max and Tomoko-san have earned an A+!

BTW, if you carry your flashcards around with you, White Rabbit sells some cool plastic cases that fit around 60 of these cards.

So  the flashcards for me is a great way to help to rekindle the information I had learned and study at the same time. So far it has been simple to use  following the "Leitner Method" of studying flashcards for maximum learning. Since I do have minimum time (due to other obligations that are pressing right now).But for the most part the method is working for me.

This is great.  I am trying to soak up as much Portuguese as I can and what better than 1001 clear, concise flashcards that I can read anywhere to help me do that?

I like the flashcards and the way they come perforated and how the info/questions are on front to back. All of the information that is given is excellent. I like how thorough they are.

These vocabulary cards are phenomenal. They are keyed to Mounce's BBG, which I would say is a must have for Greek Grammar, I would not use another Grammar because his teaching style is so simple, distinct, and superior to the others. The cards are an exceptional value, having roughly 1000 cards for all of the words occurring 10x or more in the GNT. There is no reason to make your own cards when you can buy them done for such a good price, and in great quality. They are very portable and have large, clear, and easy to read font. These have rapidly sped up my vocab learning for gloss definitions. You will not regret getting these vocabulary flash cards!

Also, get Warren Trenchard's book "Complete Vocabulary Guide to the Greek New Testament". With the cards and this book you will be well set for nailing your vocab.

The flash cards were a great way to study. I passed the test... and I'm sure these cards helped. They could use a good copy editor, but then so could the actual test itself :-)

These flash cards are great!  I've been using them to study during NP school to help focus some of my learning.  I can't speak to their effectiveness in USMLE test prep, but as a general study aid, they've been quite helpful in learning how to differentiate between similarly presenting problems.  Each flashcard has multiple related questions, and they have served as good jumping off points for further reading and study.

These flash cards are very helpful!. It's been 12 years since taking the test the first time, so I was worried about finding books and info from my schooling.  These cards are direct and strait to the point.  if I don't understand something they at least point me in the right direction. These are very wordy cards and no examples, but very informational that covers many musical topics. It can be scary wondering what will be in the test but with these I feel like I'm more focused.  Plus you can take them anywhere and not have to worry about carting a library with you :) Thanks!
