Has any one used these before? Are they worth the almost $40? or am I better off getting really cheap ones?

Hi! :)

I bought Barron's Anatomy flash cards and they were incredibly helpful. I think I paid about $30. I haven't checked out the Netter's cards. The majority of my classmates used Barron's and we all did well with them.

HTH!

i usually don't recommend the flash cards. both the students that i tutor and i, found them incredibly confusing. they used different terms for certain things and were hard to study from. we hardly used them.

i was looking at the Kaplan medical ones right now...they looked pretty organized, they are organized systamatically rather than regionally (netters are organized regionally...which i dont like)...

I used the Netter flashcards in A&P and I loved them actually. I asked for them for Christmas and while I didn't use them all of the time, it was nice to be able to pull them out when I had spare time and look them over.

Barron's are arranged systematically. For example, with the skeletal system, there is a card with a picture of the scapula - posterior view with numbers arranged around it. On the back of the card you'll find the answers to the numbers, but what I loved was the description of the scapula and the articulations. There's also a list of the numbers of other cards which are in the same region.

Some people don't do well with the cards - there were a couple of people in the class who did better with their own study methods (I even made my own flash card drawings), but I found these cards helpful. :)

I have Netter and am in the middle of anatomy right now. LOVE them... I carried them with me in my purse everywhere and it really helped me learn the bones, muscles, nerves etc.. I had heard Netter's were the best so that's why I bought them, don't know much about the others out there.

hth!

I have the Netter's anatomy cards and I found them useful. I'm going to sell them at the end of the semester if you want them
