    Learning Words, Not Memorizing Words
    When I selected a podcast to supplement my studying and preparation for the GRE, I had no idea what I was choosing. And ooo-wee, was gold struck. Victor Prep really teaches you the words. In their entirety. The listener will quickly learn the history of a word, it's most frequent uses, and a goofy side story about the word. Sam’s word review will imbed itself in your brain so deep that you can not help but remember it. All around great show. It truly is amazing how memorable all these words are. Well done sir, keep up the good work! I am very, very thankful ~Andrew (MBA achieved May, 2023)

    You helped me get in grad school
    Sam, your podcast is not only good for vocab but it also helps me to get into the rhythm of working. It’s been a year since I got into a top school, and listening to you reminds me that if I put my heart into doing something it will happen. Thank you for doing this.

    Well done!
    I never comment on podcasts but this one is stellar. Love it.
  • hiccups5842
    I love this podcast!
    I had been studying vocabulary for a while and I was really struggling to find a way to get myself to actually remember the words. But then I started to listen to this podcast and I was finally able to fully comprehend the words to the point where I was able to remember them. I also love how this podcast is only around 10 minutes so I’m able to keep up with them even on busy days. I really enjoy listening to this podcast and I look forward to the part in my day where I’m able to listen to it. I absolutely love the podcast!

    Posting an updated review because I’m SO happy you’re back, friend!!!!! Please stay around! :-) 2023: I am now in the process of studying for the LSAT and this podcasts helps me just as much! 2021: I am planning to take the GRE in the fall and I started listening to this podcast about a month ago. Sam makes understanding new words so easy and he also makes it fun! I listen to this podcast to/from work and I’ve already added so many new words to my vocabulary.

    The best GRE podcast ever
    After going through different word lists, YouTube channels and books, I can strongly say that this episode compiled the best words and the structure of podcast making it user-friendly and easy to follow. What is more, Sam has an affable character that makes him a great instructor with nice manners and you can learn a lot from him. Thanks Sam, I owe you a lot.

    Best GRE VOCAB PREP
    Thank you so much Sam, the detailed and unequivocal nature of your podcasts is simple sublime. This is the best platform that I have encountered while practicing for my GRE. Much love 🥂

    Appreciation
    Thanks for these recordings, Sam. I enjoy listening to them while I do my daily home tasks. I am studying for the GRE & listening to these uploads helps me feel productive while I’m away from my computer. I catch myself giggling with you and find you quite charming! I like the way you structure your recordings by repeating the vocab words at least three times! Helps my brain grasp the word and definition better. The sentences at the end quizzes me and I appreciate how you repeat the word after your sentences. Thank you!
  • Elemennop
    Excellent
    Thank you for offering this podcast. Please come back!
  • mlvitow
    Got me into 96th Percentile for GRE Verbal
    I started listening to this podcast on my way to work a few months out from taking the GRE. Did 1-2 episodes a day, starting with the first episode and got all the way to the end after a few months. The keys for remembering a word were intuitive and so helpful, and the big review episodes were great. This definitely beats using flashcards to study vocab, and I did really well on the GRE verbal combining this with Manhattan prep books! Highly recommend.
  • Blazin KJ

  • ear67

    Love it!
    I’m studying for the GRE as it is a requirement for applying to orthodontics. This podcast is recommended by an orthodontic resident and I’m truly grateful for its amazing content. Thank you Sam
  • Vuvu2010 BRAZILLLLLL
    The best
    The only Vocabulary podcast that I enjoy. A podcast where the teaching style is authentic and organic. In this environment it is only natural to have a genuine learning experience. Sam has a delivery that makes learning new words easy and quite interesting. Examples, etymology, synonyms and more are provided for every word. Seriously the best. Infinite KUDOS to Sam Fold.

    The best!
    I have tried a couple different vocabulary podcasts as I prepare to take the GRE, and this is by far my favorite! The episodes are short and easy to follow, so I am able to learn and remember the vocabulary very effectively!
  • Stephanie Beauvais
    Really Helpful!
    I’ve listened to a couple episodes and I’m hooked. I initially started using flashcards/flashcard apps to study but couldn’t really remember the words. Listening to Sam’s podcasts made such a difference! I listen to him while I’m driving then write all the words down when I get home. His explanations and examples are easy to understand and memorable. I highly recommend!
  • ChrisCringle13
    GRE
    Currently in the process of studying for my GRE I take in 2 months. Sam is great and this is such a good way to learn words. The episodes are short and structured perfectly to where I can easily skip through them to quiz myself. Highly recommend you listen to help with the vocab portion of the GRE

    Great Information!
    I’ve only listened to a few podcasts so far, and I have thoroughly enjoyed each one! The explanations are clear, the examples are relatable, and the overall presentation is wonderful! Thank you so much for providing this resource! Update: I just finished all of the available episodes and I am excited for future episodes. Thank you Sam!
  • eliselambert98
    Amazing!!
    Great podcast. He makes learning vocabulary fun and easy. I truly enjoyed the learning. Plus I saw multiple words on the GRE!
  • DnkPzoaosnnxnx
    Best GRE vocab resource!
    I initially was using flashcards and was having a really difficult time retaining words. About 2 weeks before my test I found this podcast and it made such a difference, I wish I found it sooner! I listened to 1-3 a day and was actually retaining the definitions for once. Can’t recommend this enough!
  • kangiee
    Great podcast
    Easy to follow. I feel like I’ve learned so much within such a short period of time.

    AMAZING GRE PREP
    This is such a useful tool for those who are busy trying to study for the GRE. I play the podcast on my way to work and it’s a great way to start the day. He has many clever ways to remember word definitions. Highly recommend this podcast to all.
  • Sitily
    Great for review
    I bought quite a few GRE flashcards to study for vocabulary, and it’s hard to find enough time to flip through all of them over and over again. I found this podcast, and listen to it driving on my way to work and in the shower and when I cook. It has made going through my flashcards so much easier because I have a better understanding of the majority of the words.
  • Vish P.
    So helpful!!!!
    These podcasts have been so helpful. After trying other sources to learn vocab, this has been the BEST by far. I love how each podcast is 4 words and each preceding podcasts reviews the previous ones. So thankful to Sam and to have found this resource.
  • graat!
    Wonderful Podcast - Thank You!
    Thank you ever so much for making this podcast, Sam. You are a highly intelligent, witty, wonderful person. God Bless you. All the best to you and your family during these tough times (COVID-19 - 2021).
  • Alexandra Daniela
    Thank you Sam!
    This podcast is a wonderful and enjoyable study tool! I enjoyed the quotes of the day, book references, and Sam’s fun jokes and stories throughout the podcast series. I highly recommend this resource for your vocabulary needs!
  • PilaMaldonado
    Sam keeps your attention
    I enjoy Sam’s delivery of the words, his accent, and his little side notes on what is going on for that day. I am taking my GRE this year and I feel like Sam’s podcast is extremely helpful on incorporating words into my daily busy life.
  • Maiv33
    Excellent for learning vocabulary!
    I’m studying for the GRE, and this was an excellent way to learn a ton of new vocabulary in a short amount of time. I listened to all of the podcasts over the course of 6 weeks and actually retained the information. Sam is a delightful person, which made listening to each episode enjoyable, but he’s also an excellent teacher. Thank you, Sam!
  • julesreviews🤓
    Keep going Sam!
    Took the GRE a few times last year and struggled with vocab since English is not my first language. This podcast is uber helpful. I listen to 2-3 episodes on my daily runs. Learning has never been easier! Excited to see how my score improves this year.
  • Des2197
    Thank You
    Forgot all those apps and flash cards. He covers enough words here for you to do well on the test. The examples are good. Also, one small, but super helpful thing for me was the way he breaks down the words into parts. It helped me to remember words that likely would not have stuck in my brain with just a definition. Of course you need to do your own practice and repetition, but I found there were a lot more words that I could remember immediately after learning compared to alot of the words that I first learned through vocab apps.
  • ErikaSanNicolas
    Juggling Study Time
    Stumbled on your podcast and I just want to say thank you! As a busy, working mother, having dedicated study time is definitely a challenge. Being able to listen to your podcasts while I drive to work or do chores at home has helped me maximize what little time I have. The British accent is a splendid bonus! Lol
  • Brittany Vee
    So helpful!
    I just started studying for the GRE and this podcast has made my life soooo much better!! I love listening to it on walks and drives. The structure of it is awesome and helps the words get into my brain. Thank you!!
  • fzaidi92
    love!!!
    been so helpful in learning new words!!! i’m studying for the GRE and have realized i’m more of an auditory learner when it comes to vocabulary, so this podcast has been a lifesaver. i’ve learned almost 100 words in one week! highly recommend to anyone studying.
  • zhimin8
    Highly recommend for anyone who wants to learn new words
    Love listening to this podcast to learn new words. Thanks so much for taking the time to make the episodes Sam.
  • ajh05005
    Super helpful resource
    Definitely helpful for GRE! Listen to 3 on dog walks and (to Sam’s credit)I still retain most if not all vocabulary on review.
  • Kuliano
    The best way to learn vocab. Period.
    I listen while at work when I have mindless tasks to complete and by the end of the day I’ve learned 20 new words! But like really learned them, as in I remember definitions and could use them in a sentence weeks later. The format of the podcast is ideal for anyone who likes to learn by listening, rather than other traditional methods like flashcards.

    Stupendous!
    Love hearing Sam's voice and laugh. Very helpful for studying for the GRE and expanding your vocabulary. Thanks for your efforts Sam!
  • LROSJ2
    Thank you Sam!
    Thank you so much Sam, your in depth discussion of each word does all the work for us! I have felt a new sense of freedom over my writing and reading through your podcast. Forever grateful.
  • Muntaha Maliki
    Victor prep is your friend
    I have been listening to Sam over a month now and study in the book Sam has covered too many Vocabulary so far and what I do is when I work on my laptop, cooking, walking, driving I listen to the podcast. Just like Sam said repetition is the mother of success I keep repeating the episodes until It come words in my everyday life usage. I also do just like Sam recommended is to write sentences as big as my imagination, and it is magical in fact. I was able to memorize too many words because I generated a very wired and strange sentence that can hit my mind more easily thank the academic sentence. Thank you very much Sam, my exam is next month. I will keep listening and I will keep listen to your instructions. I am planning to email you after I will be done with my exam and tell you how it goes :) Thank you again you’re very talented plaudits to you ❤️❤️❤️
