Great cards, I wish I had these earlier!

What do '+ve' and '-ve' stand for exactly? I can infer but I wanted to make sure. Also are there any other Gold Standard abbreviations I should know?

+ve = positive
-ve = negative

For sure you are not the first to wonder! It's one of those "local" abbreviations: if your prof used to do it, you recognize it immediately and if not, it seems strange!

Most of the other abbreviations are either very common or it is written out in detail on one or the other side of the card.
