Barron's 1100 Words You Need to Know

I'm learning and study ESL, and I'm looking for new words, these flash cards are great. But the thing that catch my attention is the sections by weeks and days, with this idea in mind is very useful to have a guide to selfstudy. The box and the cards are beauty and the hole at its extremity are great, to use with its sorting ring to study a some whole weeks. The size of each card are great, more big than others and the size of the main word are great. Completely recommended to learn more words or to study to learn English intermediate to advanced.From a very happy and pleased customer :)

Got these for my wife who is a non native English speaker. I was a bit nervous because so many reviews complained about the thin paper like quality of the cards.Not true! These cards are sturdy, and their convenient small size(3.75"x2.5") means they are not big enough to bend easily and you could even fit some in your wallet. For the price this set of flash cards was an unbeatable deal. They may not last a lifetime, however unless you love to shuffle them(which would seem like a personal problem), they should last plenty long enough for you to learn how to spell the words on them.Pros: Convenient size, good quality, plenty of everyday use words.Cons: Printed in China.

I take a week’s worth out at a time. They are easy to read and easy to carry. I like ‘em a lot!

The print is too small for me- hard to see. I didn’t like the layout either. The card is too thin.

Good for high and middle schoolers. flash card will help to do word game, memorizing word in random order.

It is a useful tool for the book. It's fun to use. The quality of the card is good. The content on the card is very useful: it contains pronunciation upright, explanation, and an example sentence in reverse.

I bought this in Jan/2015 as an adjunct to the latest (6th) edition of the book by the same name (1100 Words You Need to Know). I have the box set published on July/2014.The good:(1) the cards are cleverly designed with 2 words on each card.(2) it is supposed to correlate with the book for an additional layer of review.The Bad:(1) the paper is thin, flimsy, and thus these cards won't last very long with much handling. We have 4 vocabulary students in our house, and this set probably can't take that much use! An "organizer" ring is included, but with the thin paper, I anticipate the punched out hole on each card will rip easy. Lamination is an option, as another reviewer suggested. But this means more work, and more $$$.(2) I thought that by buying the latest book, and the latest vocab box set that they would match. But, already, week 1, day 2, I have found that they don't correlate (book: "technology"; cards: "etiology"). I wonder how many other words on other study days won't correlate?Conclusion:This product just doesn't seem yet ready for primetime. Be wary of buying it unless Barron's makes the cards more sturdy, and ensures that the card list matches up with the book list.

I have the book of those words, and the cards are a great help,It’s nice and clear, good layout and nice box with that ring to keep it in groups. I love it
