Flash Card

by november22 » Sat Jun 28, 2014 12:00 pm
I'm not making flashcards in my study as after I study all of my materials I've a review in my plan for everything I study.

I dont think I need flashcards.

Any say on it.

Hi november22,

Since you have put together a study timeline that is longer-range than most, you're going to have to maintain a high level of organization. You can choose to use flashcards or not, but "review" should be a part of the process. You could potentially review specific pages from books, prior notes that you took when solving practice problems or even prior work that you did when reviewing past CATs. Note-taking will be a big part of what you end up doing - it has to be; whether you take those notes on flashcards or in some other way is up to you.

To flashcard, or not the flashcard, that is the question. :-)

If you retain information easily via flashcard, then adding Sentence Correction facts and Quant formulas to flashcards are a great idea, but since so much of CR, RC, and DS is unflashcard-able, I wouldn't say you're shooting yourself in the foot by not making them.

Just be sure you've systematically covering all the tested Quant and SC concepts and reviewing them regularly!
