Book Reviews of Q Cards: A Vocabulary Flash Card System for the SAT*
Book Review: The Best SAT Vocabulary Resource Available
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen plenty of vocabulary materials for the SAT, but this set of cards is the overall leader of the pack. First of all, there are about 2700 words that are covered, which is quite comprehensive. The sheer number of words doesn't quite reach the 3500-word level of Barron's Basic Word List (in the Barron's SAT manual), but these cards are superior to the Basic List because they are organized by category of meaning, instead of the tedious alphabetical organization used in the Basic List (and the small font of the Basic List doesn't help either). I also appreciate having the word parts (roots, suffixes, and prefixes) on the special cards, plus the memory cues provided on the main cards. If you are aiming high on the SAT, I would recommend learning all of these cards, as well as the additional words covered in the Basic List. Then you will be in a very good position to know every single word on the SAT.
