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.

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.
