How to learn vocabulary for tests
Learn a few words every day and use each one in a sentence of your own. Meeting a word in an example, saying it and writing it once makes it stay far better than reading a long list. A small daily habit beats a big weekly session.
- 1Morning: the word of the day
Read the meaning, the Urdu and the example. Say the sentence aloud once.
- 2Midday: five minutes of flashcards
Flip through the flashcards. Mark the ones you know and keep the rest in the pile.
- 3Evening: the quiz
Take the ten-question quiz. The words you miss go into your notebook.
- 4Before sleep: the notebook
Read only the missed words. Revise yesterday's words before you start new ones.
What works, and what does not
Study each word with a synonym and an antonym. Tests often ask for the closest or the opposite meaning.
Write one sentence of your own with the new word. It takes a minute and doubles how long you remember it.
Newspaper editorials use many of these words. Spotting them in real writing fixes the meaning.
Look at a word again after one day, a week and a month. Short, spaced looks beat one long session.
Questions
How many words should I learn each day?
Five to ten is enough. A few words you really know are worth more than fifty you have only seen once.
Which level should I start with?
Start with Basic, move to Intermediate when the quiz scores are steady, and then try Advanced. You can pick a level on the practice page.
Are the Urdu meanings exact?
They are short guides to the main meaning. A word can have more than one sense, so check a dictionary for the full range. If you find a mistake, tell us and we will correct it.
