 6000 TOEFL Vocabulary List
1   Overview:
The 6000 TOEFL Vocabulary List is an excellent supplement to 5000 TOEFL Vocabulary List. If you finish the latter and still want to enhance your vocabulary skills, this list is an ideal option.

The list actually consists of 1000+ words that are not in the 5000 TOEFL vocabulary list, low frequency but useful in academic reading. So it would be best if you studied it after finishing the first 5000 TOEFL words.

The list is also called as Level 5 of TOEFL Vocabulary, following the 4 levels in the 5000 TOEFL vocabulary list. Its words are in four groups too. We present them as the same as 5000 TOEFL Vocabulary List, which you should know well, including features like online practices, printable materials, and word status management.
