Do you remember tediously creating flash cards for various subjects in school when you were a kid? Ever thought that the process of making them was half the battle, but that is how you learned what you needed to know? Maybe your Middle School teacher was not as crazy as you thought?Wish you had some flash cards for ASVABS, University subjects, or for just about any other subject?
I stumbled on this fantastic site the other day that has just that, and a whole lot more! Check out BRAINSCAPE! But these are not the hundreds of index cards you must have made as a kid, this is a scientifically proven (their words, not mine) that is described below:
