VictorPrep's vocab podcast is for improving for English vocabulary skills while helping you prepare for your standardized tests!
This podcast isn't only intended for those studying for the GRE or SAT, but also for people who enjoy learning, and especially those who want to improve their English skills.
I run the podcast for fun and because I want to help people out there studying for tests or simply learning English.
The podcast covers a variety of words and sometimes additionally covers word roots. Using a podcast to prep for the verbal test lets you study while on the go, or even while working out!

0:18.7 | I hope you guys did that. I mean it is a long podcast and there are a lot of words |
0:26.1 | there but I'm sure that in terms of for revision that that podcast will be |
0:31.0 | quite useful even thinking about how annoying it was to record and edit that, |
