 Introduction
To take the IELTS test, either for general or for academic, students must build a strong vocabulary. Of course, the requirements may be different for various goals. For academic test-takers who are planning to apply to top universities, we usually suggest that they prepare at least 10000 words before the test. Most IELTS test takers are ESL (English as a Second Language), so studying and reviewing a vast set of IELTS vocabulary isn't an easy job.

Clever guys leverage innovative tools. Some great tools to study or review IELTS vocabulary are available online or offline. This app is one of them. It's a pure web app that evaluates your IELTS vocabulary level. The app has a built-in common level IELTS vocabulary of 1200 words, which is for the IELTS test of both academic and general versions. This means you can launch the IELTS vocabulary test online anytime, and you don't have to worry about organizing the test content or making the test sheet.

The basic feature of this app is to make IELTS word question sheets dynamically and randomly. Then it shows the IELTS vocabulary test page to host question sheets and response online practice. It's a handy way for test-takers to check their IELTS vocabulary skills. Besides, the app is like many IELTS online practice tools in that it offers lots of additional features. For example, you can save the result of each test to compare with previous data or even others' data. It indicates your progress and strengthens confidence in the future IELTS test.

Showing dynamic question sheets and auto-checking users' responses are the primary features of an online vocabulary test. No one ignores them, but don't miss other fantastic features that some have only in this app. The app is not only for testing IELTS vocabulary; some students also use it to study and review words. When you try an online test sheet, you will get the correct answer if you fail a word. Meanwhile, you can choose to show an example sentence for each word. It's a convenient way to learn new words or review known words online.

By design, the app saves your test results on the cloud for further analysis and comparison to run all functionalities. Thus, you should sign up first to have your data stored under your account. It's a free app. If you don't have an account yet, create one, then sign in, and run this handy IELTS vocabulary test app!
