Excellent quality materials; complete set - math and grammar
Although my daughter uses the math practices only, the grammar practices are wonderful and helpful for her friend. Quality materials and convenient. My daughter carry several cards daily by hanging them in her lanyard and practice or study those particular topic whenever she has the opportunity in school, in the car, etc. Great product!

Great tool for tackling SAT test
Barron's SAT products has always been my best friends in getting ready for the SAT exams! Since this new SAT came out, I thought it would be best to start practicing with new flesh cards, which basically include some of the past ones from vocabulary section, but now it is much more expanded I think.It perfectly fits with the description in terms of what sections are involved and what it specializes on. I feel like it is way easier to do reviews and revision with flesh cards, rather then books, especially because you can create a system of elimination of the best known bits. It is very convenient and makes studies very organized and enjoyable.I definitely recommend these flesh cards for anyone who is getting ready for the new SAT tests! And have a good luck everyone!

Great for kids who like flashcards.
My daughter has been studying for the New SAT. While she is also working online and with an SAT prep book, she is using these flashcards as a supplement and finding them very helpful. (I would not recommend using ONLY the flashcards for preparation – – they are best of the supplement.)If, like mine, your student learns well from flashcards, this is an excellent set for New SAT preparation.I hope this helps with your decision. Best of luck to your student!

A Basic Introduction to the New SAT at an Affordable Price.
I'm a Harvard grad, SAT perfect scorer and full-time tutor who has taught the SAT for nearly 20 years. I think we can all agree that notecards are great study tools, and are often more practical and easy-to-use than are books, which is why I was excited to buy and review this product.I give these flashcards my recommendation because of their convenience, low price, and helpful system of organization. However, I would caution against simply "studying" these cards: passively reading them is not the best form of learning. Instead, write anything down that is unfamiliar. We fail to take advantage of tactile learning when we use pre-printed notecards, which is why making your own notecards is an even better option.As you can see from the picture, the flashcards include convenient red tabs on the top that help you keep them organized in the box by topic.The 500 flashcards are divided as follows:1) 100 Vocabulary cards featuring context clues (two words on each flashcard--one on bottom (grey tabs) and the other on top (red tabs))2) 200 Grammar and Writing cards3) 90 Math Fact cards4) 20 Math Strategy cards5) 70 Multiple-Choice Math questions6) 20 Grid-In Math questionsIn addition, it is worth noting that these cards are designed for the average test-taker, not SAT high scorers (1200 and above). Many of the flashcards are very basic and feature questions like "What is an integer?" and "How many degrees are in a straight line?". While these concepts are of course essential to the New SAT, most high school students are already well aware of these basic mathematical facts, and might need something more challenging. But for someone just starting to get familiar with the basics of this test, these flashcards from Barron's will provide a solid introduction.Right now these cards are selling for $9, which is a steal. Barron's is quickly becoming my go-to recommendation for affordable, competent test-prep books and flashcards.However, don't forget to also purchase the Official Guide to the SAT (or download the free PDF equivalent from the College Board website), which is the only source of real test questions for the SAT. You are also welcome to read my detailed review of the book, which is currently the top review on Amazon: Official SAT Study Guide (2016 Edition) (Official Study Guide for the New Sat)For more information, including my personal, frequently updated recommendations for SAT prep, google "SAT Action Plan - McElroy Tutoring."

They’re flash cards
I like messing with my teenaged daughter and having her do SAT prep flash card for fun. Well, fun for me. Torture for her.Kidding, she doesn’t mind it when I impromptu grab them to play. She was a freshmen when I got them. I feel as if her favorite part is when I get stumped.
