Beat the GMAT Community,

Does anyone know of good audio study material for the GMAT? I have a 40 minute drive to and from work each day (about an hour in traffic) and feel that my time would be better spent reviewing common formulas, special right triangles, idioms, etc. instead of listening to the latest from Lil' Wayne.

If anyone knows of this type of prep material please let me know.

Thanks,

- Jay

I've looked for similar with no luck at the moment. I gave up listening to music and talk radio about a year ago, now I listen to lectures from different colleges. It is amazing how much you can learn when you actually want to instead of being forced to.

Check out https://www.testprepny.com. I've heard that the audio materials produced by this company are pretty good.

What's wrong with Lil Wayne?

Thanks for the shout out to our work, BTG!

The Full Potential Audio GMAT is the best test prep accessory but should NOT be used when driving or using heavy machinery. The 5.5+ hour long audio features holistic and mindful exercises and 'experiences' to help you get out of your own way when studying and taking tests. It helps build confidence, increase focus and concentration, and gets rid of jitters and test anxiety. It's analogous to sports psychology and helps you get into an optimal mindset for taking tests. More information and the opportunity to listen to a sample, go here: https://testprepny.com/full-potential-a ... o-program/ and for GMAT product specific information, go here: https://testprepny.com/gmat-full-potential-audio/ .

The original post was asking about audios that went over math equations. If you cannot find something that has this, you can easily make your own using a smart phone voice memo. Don't love your voice? Think it would be more fun if you heard someone you loved (or found sexy?) - - ask someone else to record their voice going over the equations, etc.. Could be a fun date too!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
