FlashcardExchange: create and study flashcards

FlashcardExchange
FlashcardExchange is a flashcard-sharing site that lets you create and study digital forms of everyone's favorite 3x5 cards. The directory already has a large list of subjects, from elementary math to high-level pharmacology.

The flashcards are available to study for free via the website, and if you shell out $19.95 (one-time fee) for the full membership, you can print the flashcards and export them to Word or Excel. With a free account you can create your own flashcards by typing or text/Excel import. You can share your flashcard sets, which are maintained via the "My Flashcards" feature, and play a memory game with them.

FlashcardExchange can be helpful for test preparation, certification exam review, and language learning.
