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

Based on lots of exercises, you may finally become familiar with the built-in vocabulary and keep it warm until the test day.

Students can also store the results of each test for further analysis. The data is helpful in comparing 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.
