Customer Reviews:Average Customer Rating: waste of money & insult to intelligence Customer Rating:   This product seems to have been created in someone's garage in 1994. The voice says inane things ("uh-oh, better hit the books") and has an accent that doesn't inspire confidence in its level of education. This is only superficial, however. The CDROM installs itself clumsily on your PC (didn't install properly on one of mine), and once you open up this behemoth, what do you get? A poorly designed set of flashcards, reminiscent of PowerPoint circa 1997. The "test" mode (which only has three tests, not unlimited permutations as you would hope from a CDROM) merely shows you a flashcard, invites you to flip it over to check your own answer, and then requires you to click a button to say if you were thinking of the right answer. It's antediluvian. No middle school student could respect this product, nor should they. If these were merely paper flash cards, they would be all right - listing basic math facts so you don't have to write them out for yourself and can spend your time studying. As an electronic product, however, it is worse than a waste of money; it's an insult to intelligence. Don't buy this title Customer Rating: For one, you can only run this software if you have the CD inserted. In my case, I have a PC without a CD drive, so had to get an external drive to install the software just to discover that you can't do a full install (i.e. where you don't need the CD). CLASSROOM AID -- Liked the software. Customer Rating: My students love them. We use them in class for group study and a jeopardy/trivia game. They're good review before finals and good preview for upcoming lessons. Exambusters cover the basics in an unconfusing format. In our learning center, we use the software. It's easy to figure out. Just click around and all the functions are clear. Students can remove cards they know or don't need from a virtual stack of cards, the same as if they had index cards printed. The screensaver helped with vocabulary study especially. The computer test was different each time and no matter how many times it was taken. There are three lengths to choose from, quiz, mid-term, and final. Good Reinforcement Customer Rating: Try these first to review math and/or vocabulary you haven't seen for awhile. Just the basics are presented and I found I already knew some of the answers, but other times, the cards filled in the gaps. That's what's good about flash cards, you can pull out the ones you don't need. Can't do that with a work book unless you want to rip out some pages and use a lot of white out!! The software and the cards were both helpful; the same information in two different forms. Thanks, Exambusters. You've covered it all and given me more confidence! USED CARDS WITH ALL MY CHILDREN Customer Rating: Helpful to my four children in junior high and high school. They have most courses and also the tests like SAT, SSAT, AP. Easy to use and fun (which is saying a lot when your kid would rather be out with friends than studying!) | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
