 Introduction
This app, CPE Vocabulary Test Online, is a tool to help you build CPE vocabulary with a built-in set of 1200 basic words from the 4000 CPE Vocabulary List.

The app's primary functionality is to create CPE 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.

The CPE Vocabulary Test Online is free. It needs to store your test data because its core features rely on results from previous practices. So you should sign up for any activities.
