Why are Study Cards the best way to learn?
Because we learn most effectively when we can:
---absorb information in small, progressive increments.
---take an active part in the process
---receive immediate feedback (the answer is shown as soon as we fill in the blank)

Who wrote the cards?
High school teachers, test prep coaches, language experts, professional interpreters and translators, and college professors, with a focus on preparing students for standardized tests such as the AP, New SAT, SAT II, PRAXIS, GRE, GED, GMAT, MCAT, ACT, CLEP, and many others. Each Course in a Box or Course on CD-Rom covers the basics of a full year introductory course. EXAMBUSTERS Study Cards focus only on essential facts, definitions, and formulas. The flash cards were designed to help students learn and review courses efficiently.

What is the advantage of flash card study over textbooks and review books?
---Parents, tutors, and teachers can work together with students. Perfect for home schooling!
---Groups of students can have fun turning a study session into a trivia game.
---Portable: Learn a few each day. A sense of accomplishment grows as your stack of I have no idea! decreases, and the stack of I know the answer! increases.

Good resource for sign language learners

2000-10-12
One of the other reviewers complained about the signs not being accurate. Of course they're accurate. However, ASL like all languages is dialectal. Just as we use a different word in one part of the country for something in another part of the country, so, too, with signing. Some signs in California are different than New York. You can't always trust the ASL dictionary (just as you might not always be able to trust a flash card). Look around and see what people are using.

Great resource! I'll certainly buy the others.

Not all the signs are accurate! 2000-06-22
I was enjoying my new set of flashcards until I realized that many of the signs shown are not found in an ASL dictionary as the proper sign. So while the concept of learning via flashcards is fun and encouraging, I feel the need to cross-reference every word in case I'm learning the wrong sign. I will, however, give part 2 and 3 a chance!

Terriffic supplement to a standard signing book 2000-04-15
These cards present you with a nice array of basic signs which can be communicated in one or two photos. Photograhs of handshapes are a nice change over the drawing you usually find in a signing dictionary. The cards are large enough to view well and can be laid in a row to form a sentence. Younger children find them intriguing and fun and they make it easy for adults to pick up some of the basics quickly. I would recommend purchasing all three sets (Exambusters Sign Language, More Sign Language and Even More Sign Language). Together they will supply you with about 600 different signs grouped by category. (food, occupation, people, home, etc.)

Oooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Study cards for Sign Language? Cool! Hey, if I had these, I probably would'nt need to buy anymore books! I could just use the flash cards and learn how to sign in one day! I'm going to tell everybody! This is great! Finally, there is an easier way to learn Sign Language! The best part is, you can practice anywhere! In the car, at home, in the office, etc. I have also heard that there are cards for different subjects too like math, biology, Spanish, French, etc. ( If you have read this review, email this one!)
