This vocabulary section is based on over 500 words advanced English learners must know before entering English exams like IELTS, TOEFL and SAT. While these 500 words are not all you need, a lack of mastery of these words raises questions about your English exam preparedness. They are based on a study of high frequency exam words.
We’ve embedded these words under different topics and provided activities to test your knowledge using realistic contextual examples. This is a more effective and easy way of mastering vocabulary of this nature as opposed to rote memorisation of single words. Our exercises
