PTE Word List for Academic and Practice

This PTE word list is for academic test takers. It does not include the most challenging PTE academic words, but you should be confident that you will pass the exam if you understand all of them. English isn’t the native language of most test-takers, so vocabulary building is complex. PTE academic words are especially difficult in reading tests.

This list includes definitions in multiple languages to help students learn PTE words faster and easier by using their native language. You can check if your native language is in the options. If yes, select it, and then you can see that every word has a definition in your familiar language.

This feature will speed up your job by leveraging your knowledge of your native language. Many visitors like this feature; they learn PTE words in Chinese, Russian, Arabic, and more. Hopefully, you are one of them and get the word list in your native language, too. This feature can save non-English speakers much time building vocabulary in test preparation.

In addition, you can use the powerful app VSO(Vocabulary Study Online) to study the word list. Load it to the intelligent online app, and your vocabulary building will be managed and scheduled scientifically. This will dramatically improve your vocabulary preparation efficiency.
