3.0 out of 5 stars Helpful but nothing innovative, September 26, 2007

Not the best, most innovative product out there, but it is a good companion due to its audio format. This is no ExamKrackers with Jordan and Jon for MCAT, where two hosts have interesting special effects and stories to tell. There are no anecdotal stories...

All it consists of is a computerized voice reading off vocabulary words mechanistically. Although the voice is pretty high quality, it makes pronunciation errors. For example, they pronounce epitome as 'epi tomb', instead of 'eh pih to mi' (unofficial transcriptions).

Anyway, another thing is that Amazon/Borders sells this product for 10 dollars more than the original AudioLearn website.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT What I Thought it Was, September 29, 2009

I thought that because these discs were mp3s that I'd be able to load them on to my iPod or have them playing on my computer, or in the car so I could have repeat exposure. Instead you have to click through each word individually and mark them as "correct" or not on top of it. The word itself and the definition are on separate tabs. This product was a huge disappointment and a waste of money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Tool!, August 18, 2007

I bought this a while ago thinking that it would be a good supplementary study aide for the GREs. Yet in no time it became my primary study aide for the vocab section. It's so easy studying with this because you can listen to it anywhere. I would listen to it in the car, on campus and during any downtime I had at work. I also really like that the vocab is broken down into sections so it's easy to go back and find specific words to review. I would recommend that if you are listening to it on an iPod to put it on shuffle or random on a CD so that you don't memorize the sequence of words but rather learn the maning. The shuffle idea works especially well with this product because the sections are broken up into smaller sections. All in all a great buy!
