Vocabulary for IELTS
by: IELTS buddy

Hi,

One good way to improve your vocabulary is obviously reading. Don't set the reading level too high as you will get frustrated, but read things that are a bit above your level and check and make a note of new words that you learn.

It's also good to have a specific plan of how you will learn words. One way to do this is by learning the Academic Word List.

This is a list of the most common words to appear in academic writing.

I have exercises on this in which you can learn set of 10 words at a time. So decide how you want to learn them e.g. 10 a day, 10 every two days etc.

You can check them out here: Academic Word List

Remember though learning a word so that you recognise it's meaning is much easier than learning to use it in writing as it can have different forms. So learning to apply them in an essay can take much longer.

There is also something you can purchase called Ultimate Vocabulary. This helps you again to organise your study, but check out reviews online first to see if it is the right thing for you.

If you look at my site you'll also see other pages dedicated to learning vocabulary such as IELTS topic related vocabulary.

To prepare more generally for the test, start by doing practice tests to familiarise yourself with the test and then go through my lessons and other tips and exercises.

Good luck
