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
5. gmatdelhi - TBD

7. onedayill - Quant
8. ezhilkumarank - TBD
9. jpr200012 - maybe
10. sandeep800 - verbal & quant
11. ialsowant800 - TBD
12. gsothee - maybe

14. harshsingla - TBD
15. York101 - maybe if not lazy
16. kalrac - TBD
17. n2739178 - maybe

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 8214 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 596 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 726 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

After a review it appears that PPT works very well - it may even be superior to Word in terms of what it allows me to do.

Both formats are accepted and for the sake of competition, no preference will be given to either format.

Remember that the template is important but is scored separately.


I think PPT will work well if working on Lappy or PC, if someone wants to take the print out and use it for review purposes in while travelling ,office or somewhere then it will be bit heavy on pocket both monetary wise and page wise count..a word doc can be divided into 3 flashcards with both sides while one slide will be used for one card...so i will need to take 3 times more print out for ppt then flashcard on words...and if 1 ppt is used for question and other for answer then again 3 times more means
100 or 600 A4 page printouts ...looks good :?: ...........

** Just my views so no offence plzz....

One slide can be divided into 4 parts and you can save your page :) also you can take printouts on both sides for slides.

So, IMO ppt is better than word document. Additionally you can format/design ppt very well.

If we have to divide ppt in any case then why not use word doc...just for format design? BB is saying PPT wont have any preference as such over word?

You said "Just for format design" but I'll say it's the main part - design!! Your work should speak for you and design plays a important part in that role.

I don't think that PPT will have preference over word document. But then design is definitely a part!

Well! I might try (I know I am late:) ) for Template & Quant and I am already compiling all the concepts & tips/tricks by Bunuel into one Word Doc and then convert it to pdf (title is Bunuel). But the problem is Bunuel is already competing (hehe) and I think it wouldn't be appropriate to use his work while competing with him :).
For Quant Flashcards concepts by Bunuel, Shrouded1, and GMAT Club's Math Book (I have updated it till October 9 & will share it soon) is enough.

sandeep800: As bb explicitly mentioned, there will be no preference given to PPT over Word Doc. Formatting and design becomes easier if you use a PPT, but you're free to use Doc as well.

As to your concerns about wasting pages, trust me, it works much more efficiently. Even if you design a slide separately there's an option on the printing effects of PPT called "Handouts" which lets you print 6 slides to a page. If you want, you could do this on both sides as well. Hence this actually works just as well as Word, if not better.

Just putting this out there for people who want to know.

In a nutshell: It doesn't matter which format you use, as long as you can present your ideas coherently and incorporate good design ideals into the flashcards. (Kinda speaking on behalf of bb here, but he's busy with the main contest and I don't think he'll mind. Will you, bb?) :)

Can someone help me in formatting? I am not able to get the fractions represented correctly in word or ppt. I am able to write it as 1/2.

Taken from https://support.microsoft.com/kb/137734. Worked in Word 2007.

Use an Equation Field to Create the Fraction:

This method creates a fraction with a horizontal line between the numerator and the denominator.

1. Place the insertion point where you want the fraction to appear.
2. Press CTRL+F9 to insert field braces.
3. Between the field braces, type the following
EQ \F(a,b)
where a and b are the numerator and denominator of the fraction.

For example, if you want to create the fraction 1/8, the field would look like this
{ EQ \F(1,8)}
4. With the insertion point in the field, press SHIFT+F9.

Just use the equations tool. You don't need to know the command tags, you can just choose fractions on the equation toolbar

Well, because of time shortage, only tried to make a template :). Quality matters most, so just submit it no matter how much have you done it (maybe you got some good material and the material can be used in some final version released by Gmatclub itself). So, maybe you won't get prize but you would be satisfied that you tried to make your contribution (no matter how little) :).

Peace & cheers :)
