 Introduction
Vocabulary is an essential asset in English skills. TOEFL test takers have to build a strong vocabulary in preparation; otherwise, they have no chance of getting a good score on the examination. In the TOEFL test, there is no exclusive section to test your vocabulary level. However, all test sections, reading, writing, listening, and speaking, actually test vocabulary skills in separate ways. As in all language tests, without good vocabulary, skills cannot get a good mark.

TOEFL is for non-native English speakers who are planning to apply for universities or other academic purposes in the USA, Canada, and other English-speaking countries. For most of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students, English vocabulary is a shortcoming, and as an academic-oriented test, the TOEFL vocabulary is quite large. If you want to get a high score on the test, your vocabulary should generally be as large as 10,000 or more.

Many TOEFL test takers spend lots of time on building a strong and test-friendly vocabulary. They may have various English vocabulary bases and different TOEFL score expectations. No matter what contents, methods, or tools they use to build TOEFL vocabulary, knowing the actual vocabulary level and progress is a prerequisite to scheduling a plan and adjusting the pace.

This app's basic functionality is to create TOEFL vocabulary test sheets in random order. It has a built-in basic-level word list to power the online test. Like many similar online practice tools, it also includes some auxiliary features, such as saving test results and comparing them with historical data or even comparing them with others' test results to improve performance.
