Thanks Sven for this feedback. I'm in the process of redesigning the set, and I think it will address your questions.

Look out for the re-release in the next 2-3 weeks!

Error opening document

by MEANSTA » Sun May 17, 2009 11:18 am
Hi, thank you so much for this site!

I downloaded the flsh cards three times - but when I try to open the file I get an error message "there was an error opening this document - could not repair file" Am I doing something wrong or is the file corrupted?

Thanks for your help!

Appears to be downloading fine for me. Perhaps you're using an old version of Acrobat?

Quantitative Flash Cards Labeled as "V"

by vertigoattack » Wed May 20, 2009 11:07 pm
Hi, Just discovered your site today. Thanks! I'm an undergrad who's going to take the GMAT later this summer. Definitely looking forward to reading more of what's on here!

Thanks for the notecards too -- they look awesome. One thing I noticed (I'm not sure if it was brought to your attention yet, sorry if I'm being repetitive) is that all of the quantitative cards are labeled "V." (From the key, should be "Q.") Also, all the quantitative cards are labeled as "DS"; does this mean that all of the quantitative cards refer to/are applicable to the Data Sufficiency portion?

Thanks!

problem is different. You should try some download accelerators such as Orbit GetFlash etc.

Normal download gives following error as uptowngirl just mentioned above.

Thanks man!

One question: do we all agree that on Page 61 on the card "Probability and Geometry" the "Y" in the third last line should be an "X"?

Cheers

"One of the" card - possible mistake

by Alexandra S » Tue Jun 16, 2009 1:45 am
Hi there

I think there is a mistake on page 15. It's about the card labelled "one of the". As follows from the article https://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/GRAMMAR/one.htm the use of "one of PLURAL NOUN + SINGULAR VERB" construction is unusual. In The New Fowler's Modern English Usage edited by R.W. Burchfield. Clarendon Press: Oxford, England, 1996 the author writes, "A plural verb in the subordinate clause is recommended unless particular attention is being drawn to the uniqueness, individuality, etc., of the one in the opening clause".

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd like to attract your attention to this issue.

flash cards missing letters fl

by mirral » Thu Jun 18, 2009 5:57 am
I just downloaded the flashcards and every word that has a letter sequence "fl" seems to be missing. If I plain text the cards the "fl" is there. An ideas.
