The recording is 8 minutes long and is comprised of approximately 40 vocabulary words and their definitions. With this production, 30 Second Words podcast has broken into long form territory with the first of three Vocabulary Study Aids. This was recorded in 2006 in preparation for my Graduate Record Exam (GRE), primarily as an exercise in the Audacity open-source sound editing software. I am listening to them tonight and thought they seemed useful enough to share.
I would urge you to use these podcasts as supplementary material for a Princeton Review, Barron’s or Kaplan’s Study Guide to the Graduate Record Exam (General). Don’t fret over which publisher, just get one!
Note: Writing credit for the definitions goes to one, if not all, the publishers listed above. I will admit to some shoddy record keeping as they were intended for personal use. I remember getting the list from a website that listed one of these three books as a source. If you find these useful, please consider purchasing one of them from the link below.
