<p>Does anyone recommend those Sparknotes Powerpack things as worthwhile or are they stupid? I was thinking of getting one because they are pretty. . .</p>
<p>Que piensas?</p>
<p>Mi profesora de matimaticas me recomendió el Sparknotes Powerpack por la examen de AP Calc. I'll open it tonight and let you know. I'd imagine that they're worth it. Remember, they're only 15 bucks whereas the other prep books are around 9. Sparknotes always has done a good job with their review material - I'd definitely say it's worth the extra 6 bucks (especially if you plan to do the prep).</p>
<p>i like the spark cards.</p>
<p>Would they be most useful for USH, Chem, or English language? Hmmm. . .</p>
<p>the spark cards? i have them for ush, they are pretty cool. when i get my next paycheck i will probably buy the english lang ones. i dont really know about chemistry.....you can read the box to get an idea of what the cards say. some subjects have mostly vocab but chemistry might have formulas and concepts.</p>
<p>having ion flashcards would be great</p>
<p>You could always make flashcards...</p>
<p>You'd be learning the material not only as you use them, but also as you make them, utilizing more than one area of your memorization faculties to study in that fashion.</p>
<p>That said, I've never once needed flash cards, being endowed with fairly good memory.</p>
<p>Sorry for the confused, I meant the AP Powerpack.</p>
<p>Yes, I have never been a flashcard kind of gal, but they are good if you need to learn something fast.</p>
