Nice topic. It will be interesting to see how everyone does this.

For myself - If it's something easy (Management, History, Org Beh) and relies primarily on memorization, then I'll go through the cards just reading them. I hit each section in order once. I've got a decent memory for the written word, and that's usually enough.

If it's something off the wall that requires alot of memorization (Adulthood and aging for example... How many different types of aging can you have?) Then I'll go through them twice usually just reading, and mentally answering as I go. I'll usually be good after the second time, but sometimes it takes requires a third read-through.

If it's something seriously hard for me.. Business Law springs to mind.. Then I'll follow much the same as Gary and Basket. Read through them all once, then read through the individual section, and then mix them up and try to answer them. The ones I miss, I'll pay attention to and review after I'm done. I usually do this until I can get through 95% of the cards mentally. Thankfully I've only run into two or three like this (Soviet Union, Business Law, MIS)
