GMAT Flash Cards Competition by GMAT Club!

Have you ever dreamed about the perfect product? We did and we looked around and found many sets of flashcards available. Some are free, some are okay, and some are worthless. We are not looking to create yet another set of flashcards - that will be a failure. We are on a quest to create the ultimate GMAT flashcards that will replace them all and will never be rivaled.

The final results are posted here:
gmat-flashcards-108651.html



Lofty goal? Maybe, but we've done it before and we are even more serious about it and pay in cash for each section separately. If you are proud of your work, we need YOU. Submit your set of Verbal or Math GMAT flashcards and you can get paid $750 or all $1,600!
It is a good idea to create notes while you study, so think of it this way - we pay you to study :wink:

List of Participants:

1. whiplash2411 - verbal
2. kissthegmat - TBD
3. Dreamy - Quant
4. rakhisingh70 - TBD

7. onedayill - Quant
8. ezhilkumarank - TBD

10. sandeep800 - verbal & quant
11. ialsowant800 - TBD

Verbal GMAT Flashcards - posted as submitted


1. Submission #1 - Whiplash2411

Winner of the First Prize for Verbal Flashcards! [rating1]yellow/7868441[/rating1]
Attachment:
Whiplash Verbal Flashcards.pdf [358.91 KiB]
Downloaded 6749 times
Strengths:
- Overall very well put together flashcards set covering all areas of verbal: CR, RC, and SC
- Includes both strategies/core material and also tricky questions including a collection of idioms with correct/incorrect examples
- The design for flip side was done well for the questions cards
- Well formatted
- Feel complete/finished
- The design was also good enough for me to consider it as a suggested design for the future flashcards

Weaknesses:
- Not yet found anything that is an obvious weakness. Some suggestions could be put additional links to extra examples or questions for practice as well as questions tagged appropriately for each area/error type


2. Submission #2 - Harshsingla

Winner of the Third Prize for Verbal Flashcards![rating1]yellow/7868442[/rating1]
Attachment:
Harshsingla verbal GMAT Flaschards.pdf [251.9 KiB]
Downloaded 564 times

[highlight]Strengths:[/highlight]
- This set has a number of interesting features
- Good usage of "fun" approach to studying
- Good design
- Great and innovative way to display idioms - I am not sure if this makes studying easier yet but I like the representation

Weaknesses:
I could see a number of areas improved to make this a contender for prize 1 or 2 (We won't award a prize unless a contender earns a certain number of points; however, happy to award the third prize to reward the thinking, effort, and hopefully motivate for more!)
- Would be great to have more than just Idioms covered in more details and in-depth (RC and CR could be expanded as well ac SC)
- Idioms could use examples and usage guides



Quant GMAT Flashcards - posted as submitted


1. Submission #1 - Dreamy

[rating1]yellow/7868443[/rating1]
Attachment:
Dreamy Quant Flashcards.pdf [581.52 KiB]
Downloaded 682 times
Strengths:
One of the two submissions for the Quant flashcards and I am not able to award it the first/second prize unfortunately (at least not yet) - i think if they could be reworked, it would be a very solid submission.
- Comprehensive coverage of a number of areas
- Good material
- Packed with information
- Good graphs and illustrations

Weaknesses:
- Not technically flashcards - i printed them out and I am not really able to read them - would be great to format them to fit on smaller size paper
- Not in flashcards format of "front" and "back" side. Where the front side asks the question or tests a concept and the second side provides the explanation/answer


Verbal + Quant Flashcards - posted as submitted


1. Submission #1 - N2739178

(Awaiting clarification about copyright) - they are based on MGMAT Books and I am trying to figure out if I can actually use them or if MGMAT has the copyright on these

i am preparing a set for my self, i will post it, can i just scan and post it? it will be easier for me,
my be i should get off my lazy butt and actually make some good ones I have a Finearts background after all.... but I am scared to prove bb right

"As to design, you need to pick font, any colors, bolding, any accents, touches of design etc. There is a separate consideration for design as good designers are not always good at math and vice versa."

yaaa....I am better off being lazy :) my math is not good neways!

cheers

I think the point was to make it computer-friendly. Scanning could result in people not being able to read illegible handwriting at times and so on and it'd be a bigger pain in the neck.

Correct me if I am wrong bb!

BB, count me in.

:idea: Also thought it would be good idea to have the winning flashcard template published in here and GMATClub members could use the template to add important properties/info/tricks in it. The moderators could then periodically analyze/evaluate/refine and release a "GMATClub member's choice" version of the Quant/Verbal flashcard every quarter or so.


yes, absolutely!
We should keep it live and open and revise/merge them.

I love to be proved wrong (sorry for my gross generalization, I just meant to say that would love to combine everyone's best talents). Did not quite come out this way ;)

No, way! I can't even think to compete with you dear! But, let me try :)

You said you are IN for Verbal and made me to think for a while that whether I should enroll or not :) Even now, I m not sure whether I'm going to submit or not but then I thought there is no harm in enrolling :) So, I'm in for all 3.
