Based on lots of exercises, you may finally become familiar with the built-in vocabulary and keep it warm until the test day.

The app's primary functionality is to create CAE word question sheets dynamically. Its core features include showing quizzes and auto-checking answers. Students can also store the results of each test for further analysis. The data is helpful in comparing with previous data or even others' data to improve performance.

The app has some extra features that similar tools rarely have. It includes a sample sentence for each word, which helps a lot when learning new words. It also provides definitions of 9 languages for every word and lets ESL students select their mother language and integrate it with an English explanation.
