Here is a collection of study cards for my AP and General Chemistry classes. There are four cards per page. Each set of cards is saved as an Adobe Acrobat® file.

Print each sheet on both the front and back of heavy paper to get two sets of study cards.
Print one side of normal weight paper and fold paper lengthwise for single study cards.
