BIG CD FLASH CARDS

By purchasing this product you've made an important first step

towards mastering those difficult vocabulary words that appear on

the GRE, GMAT, TOEFL, SAT, IELTS, CAT, etc. BIG CD FLASH CARDS were

designed from the ground up to target these tests. It's packed with

3843 testworthy words those that only students with an educatedvocabulary are likely to know. These are the words that the test-

designers love to include on competitive exams especially in exam

questions involving SYNONYMS, ANTONYMS, ANALOGIES, etc that

test vocabulary directly

HOW TO GET MOST OUT OF THIS PRODUCT?

Memorizing the flash cards: Carry a few of these flash cards daily with

you (say Box 1). Look at them when you travel from your home to

college and vice-versa or sitting idle. Work in short bursts. Try going

through 10 to 15 flash cards at a time, shuffling through them quickly

so that you can build your rapid sight recognition of the words. You

want these words, their synonyms and antonyms to spring to your mind

instantaneously.

Test your memory:Don't look at the back of the card as much as

possible. Go through your set of 10 to 15 cards several times a day.Then, when you have mastered around 5 to 7 of the cards, set those

cards aside and add the same number of new cards to your working

pile. That way you will be working with a limited group, but you won't

be wasting time reviewing words you have already known or

mastered.

NEVER TRY TO MASTER A WHOLEBOX OF FLASH CARDS AT ONE

GO. IT WON'T WORK.

Educational Software Technologies has come up with an innovative

idea to remember words. After studying more than 100 words, it

becomes difficult to correlate the meaning with the word. Once you

are thorough with a particular box (say box 1), you can open

crossword puzzle 1 and solve it for further practice.
