Places to get audiobooks for studying? - yb1 - 01-15-2015
Hey so I am going to be dog walking and want to take a bunch of business dsst this year.
Are there any business audio books that would help me prepare for these tests while I am dog walking. I would just listen to them daily.
Start plucking away at the test come april
Do the test compliment each other is there a certain order that I should take them?

There are a bunch of Audio Lectures available from The Learning Company. They can also be found on Audible. If you have their monthly plan you can get a set of lectures included for the monthly price. For certain lectures this works out to be very affordable. I believe lectures work out better than books alone, but others might disagree.

Another good option is to find lectures on Youtube and use a program to convert the videos to MP3's. I like "Free Youtube to MP3 Converter." As for test overlap, I would refer you to FCP

Its not the smoothest thing ever, but if you get an ebook/pdf of the text you are studying from, there are various softwares to convert them to audio. I'm on MAC, and my computer has an "Add to iTunes as spoken track" function if I highlight text and right click. After it converts to text, I convert the file again to MP3, so I can listen to it from my phone.

Another very good FREE video converter - Any Video Converter. I downloaded from cnet.
Previously, I used realplayer (paid copy) for years until after the updates in browsers and increased security the program could not keep up. They are painfully slow with updates and once one is finally issued it still doesn't work. Which took me in search of something new.. AVC is both awesome and free. Even has a built in trimming feature...with realplayer you had to switch over to its supplemental program to merge/trim vidoe/audio files.

My favorite source is: 7,000+ Free Audio Books & eBook Downloads - Loyal Books because they are all free.
My second favorite source is: https://librivox.org/ also free, but volunteer readers so your results may vary. Some books will have a new reader for each chapter, bugs me to death.
If I'm paying: iTunes, Amazon and Audacity!

As far as overlapping tests go, if you post the tests you're planning to take, people could chime in with the order they think best. Also, as previously mentioned, check Free CLEP Prep.

Bumping this old thread up because it may still be relevant.

I'm using a lot of youtube videos that I listen to, not watch, on the road.
