Audio Study Materials

[dcan]

This may be a little dry for most, but I have been reading the IC cards into an audio recorder and then burning them onto an disc or throwing them on my IPOD so that I can listen to them while I commute, jog etc.

It takes an hour or two to do the initial read, but I have found that it has really helped me with retaining the information and making better use of my down time.

Some of the IC cards already have audio notes. But they are made from a text-to-speech converter, which can be painful to listen to. I think it would be better to have a human do it, or volunteers.

FYI Librivox is 100% free audio recording by volunteers of classical or otherwise out-of-copyright texts. Most of the classic lit is on there. I've been listening to A Brief History of English and American Literature, written a little under a hundred years ago I think. Not sure if it is directly relevant to any tests, but it is actually very interesting. LearnOutLoud is another source that may (or may not) have anything relevant to you.

If you are looking for specific test study guides in audio you will probably come up short, other than the IC cards. I'd love to know if there are other options.
