 Introduction
The ECPE test evaluates EFL (English as a Foreign Language) people's English skills. It usually 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 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 basic-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 stores your test results for further analysis and comparison. If you want to run all functionalities, you should sign in first to save your data through your account.
