Product Description
Students preparing to take the Graduate Record Exam will appreciate this set of flash cards as a study aid to hone their test-taking proficiency. Vocabulary, definitions, and questions, as well as terms, formulas, and equations on each card come with answers and explanations on the reverse side. Cards cover topics that appear on the GRE, including antonyms, analogies, sentence-completion questions, discrete quantitative questions, quantitative comparison questions, data interpretation questions, questions based on knowledge of arithmetic, algebra, and geometry, and more. The cards measure 4 1/2" x 2 3/4" and have a corner hole to accommodate an enclosed metal key-ring-style card holder. The ring allows students to arrange the flash cards for the Q & A study sessions in any sequence that suits their needs. This flash card set makes a useful complement to Barron's GRE--2008 test prep manual.

 Amazing GRE Study Aid December 2, 2008

These were the best study aid I bought for the GRE, by far. While the Kaplan Vocab Flash Cards features trickier words, I saw more of the Baron's words on the actual test.
The layout and form of these cards is also nicer. The front of the vocab ones has the word in boldface, followed by its part of speech, a context clue, and a space for you to add your own clue (which I didn't use). The back has the definition (usually list of synonyms and similar phrases), antonyms (which were VERY helpful for the actual test), a complete sentence, an example analogy, and a little hint.
If I had to take the exam again, I'd buy these. In fact, I lent my cards to a friend who took hers and she raved about these cards after her test (i.e. the words appeared on her test, etc.)
The math cards are also good review. It basically takes the Barrons book (which is also one of my preferred study aids) and puts it into card form. There are 3-4 different types of math questions testing quantitative ability, basic knowledge, multiple choice, etc.
This is definitely a good investment. Best of luck!
The cards are also made of a better cardstock than the kaplan paper ones and come pre-hole punched with a ring to keep them together.
Barron's GRE - very good flash card set April 13, 2009

The cards are of good quality - I read someone complaining that the Kaplan cards are like business cards - small, flimsy, not well constructed. But the Barron's cards are more like a deck of playing cards that are sturdy and plastic coated.
There is a small hold punched in the corner of each card and a ring to put however many card you want on it so that you can carry some with you without brining the entire stack.
There are 250 math and 250 verbal cards. The verbal questions lend themselves to the flash card format more so than the math questions. Still, if you want to drill with flash cards, Barrons is the way to go.
Very useful and helpful February 5, 2010

The cards come split into a math section and vocab section and come with a metal ring to hold however many cards you want. I found the vocab cards more useful than the math tho the math cards are also good. My only complaint is that the vocab cards were not arranged in order of difficulty - but I did that myself.

They're flashcards, and they have math and words. Simple.
But, sure enough, a bunch of the words ended up appearing on my GRE exam, and I ended up with a very decent verbal score. I used the math cards as well, but, since I suck at math anyway, I didn't place too much emphasis on the cards and still came up with a good score.
I recommend these cards to just about anyone studying for the GRE. They're great for taking along traveling; I used them on the train to and fro work, and still use them to my lexicon high weeks after having taken the GRE.

The vocab, at least, has VERY common terms on the actual exam and will help you a lot. It's much easier and helpful than trying to go through the dictionary or something like that.
