 ECPE Vocabulary Test by Dynamic SheetsNew test sheet  
ECPE test is to evaluate EFL (English as a Foreign Language) people's English skills. This test normally has four sections: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. Because test takers aren't native English speakers, ECPE vocabulary plays a crucial role in all sections.

In preparing the test, more than half of the time is for studying new words and reviewing known words on average. This app, ECPE Test for Vocabulary, is a pure online tool to evaluate vocabulary level. For self-taught test takers, this app helps to understand own level and progress and play a key part in planning or scheduling ECPE vocabulary study.

This app has a built-in ECPE vocabulary that includes 1200 middle-level words. You needn't worry about the test contents, and the test question sheet will be produced automatically as long as you request. In addition to a proven test word bank, we implement the app with cutting edge computer and web technology. The primary feature of the app is to check if you know or not know a word. The question sheet is made dynamically with 12 random words, which shows on a web page.

This app has some extra functionalities, e.g., you can save test result to analyze or compare. Then, you not only see the result of one test alone; you also have a chance to understand your trend and relative level to others, by which you can adjust your own pace or schedule accordingly.

Some ECPE test-takers use this app as a study tool rather than a test tool. Considering it has a fixed vocabulary, some people use it to study and review words by repeated tests. At the online ECPE test sheet, you will see all correct answers if you failed. It's a quick and intelligent way to learn new words or review known words.
