 Introduction
Before the FCE exam, students usually try to enhance their vocabulary as much as possible. Vocabulary is definitely the base for thinking, talking, reading, and writing, which is the foundation of any language skills.

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

It is a game-style app. You don't need a detailed plan or schedule to use it. Anytime and anywhere, you can access its web pages and practice or test as long as you have the Internet. Some people use it as a tool to evaluate FCE vocabulary. Others use it to study new words or review known words. 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 FCE 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 useful to compare 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 app needs to store your test data because its core features rely on results from previous practices. So you should sign up before any activities. FCE Vocabulary Test Online is free.
