REA’s Interactive Flashcards
What they’re for
How to use them
They come in a book, not in a box of hundreds of loose cards.
They are most useful as test time approaches to help you check your test readiness.
They are a good tool for self-study and also for group study.
They can even be used as a competitive game to see who scores best.
They work with any text.
The interactive feature is a unique learning tool. With it, you can write in your own answer to each question which you can then check against the correct answer provided on the flip side of each card.
You will find that the flashcards in a book have several advantages over flashcards in a box.
You don’t have to cope with hundreds of loose cards. Whenever you want to study, you don’t have to decide beforehand which cards you are likely to need; you don’t have to pull them out of a box (and later return them in their proper place). You can just open the book and get going without ado.
A very detailed index will guide you to whatever topics you want to cover.
A number of blank card pages is included, in case you want to construct some of your own Q’s and A’s.
You can take along REA’s flashcard book anywhere, ready for use when you are. You don’t need to tote along the box or a bunch of loose cards.
REA’s Flashcard books have been carefully put together with REA’s customary concern for quality. We believe you will find them an excellent review and study tool.
