Default ACE digital study cards

Is there any way to access the digital cards from my iPad or is the only way to view them using adobe? I pretty much only ordered them since I thought I could use my iPad. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Hi - I'm thinking about ordering the digital flashcards and wondered what you thought of them. Are you happy with them? Are you able to note which ones you got right and which ones you needed to go over again?

Thanks!

Sorry about the delayed response on this. The flash cards come in PDF format, so yes you can open on I-pad.

If I were you, I would hire an intern for $10 an hour to type all of the cards onto the "Notecards" app on the iPhone. It's functionality is very impressive. Keeps statistics. Allows you to practice your worst.. Allows you to go in groups of X where you only keep going if you get Y% right. The best feature of this is the speed in which you can practice. No bulky notecards, no laptop, etc.

ROI = Income over expenses

Expenses = ~$100

Income = lots

ROI = huge

Might be some piracy concerns but if they become popular enough and you update them continuously and you package them with other valuable mats that are not as easily pirated, it should be fine.
