What do you guys think of the EK flash cards from the 7th edition OChem book?
They seem significantly different and contain substantially less info than the content in the 2009 TPR book.
Not sure if they are worth using.

i think some of the cards are much better than others (SN1/SN2 summary, IR spectrum, Acidity, etc) but they are okay if you need to refresh the overall reaction.

but seeing as how the MCAT generally like to know what the important step of a reaction is... you might want to add that to the card or just use additional resources... it definitely isn't ALL that you need to know

nope

I didn't find them useful on AAMC practice tests...

Hmm...I assume that if you don't know anything about O-chem, then it's a place to start. However, other than that they are quite useless. I do agree that only a few cards were useful as citruscooler mentioned.
