 ECPE Vocabulary Test by Dynamic Sheets
The ECPE test evaluates EFL (English as a Foreign Language) people's English skills. It normally has four sections: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. Because test takers aren't native English speakers, ECPE vocabulary plays a crucial role in all sections.

On average, more than half of the time spent preparing the test is spent studying new words and reviewing known words. This app, the ECPE Test for Vocabulary, is a pure online tool for evaluating vocabulary levels. For self-taught test takers, this app helps them understand their own level and progress and plays a key part in planning or scheduling ECPE vocabulary study.

This app has a built-in ECPE vocabulary that includes 1200 middle-level words. You needn't worry about the test contents, and the test question sheet will be produced automatically as long as you request. In addition to a proven test word bank, we implement the app with cutting-edge computer and web technology. The primary feature of the app is to check if you know or do not know a word. The question sheet is made dynamically with 12 random words.

This app has some extra functionalities, e.g., you can save test results to analyze or compare. Then, you not only see the result of one test alone; you also have a chance to understand your trend and relative level to others, by which you can adjust your own pace or schedule accordingly.

Some ECPE test-takers use this app as a study tool rather than a test tool. Considering that it has a fixed vocabulary, some people use it to study and review words through repeated tests. On the ECPE test sheet, you will see all correct answers if you fail. It's a quick and intelligent way to learn new words or review known words.

This app stores your test results for further analysis and comparison. If you want to run all functionalities, you should sign on first to let your data save through your account. If you don't have an account yet, please create one immediately. It is a free feature as long as you get an access code, sign on, and enjoy all the features of this great app: ECPE Test for Vocabulary!
