 3000 TOEIC Vocabulary - View
All English examines will take vocabulary level as one of the most critical factors in evaluating test takers’ language ability. TOEIC has no exception. We know TOEIC isn’t for academic purposes, so its vocabulary is relatively small and faces daily life and work. But it doesn’t mean you can ignore TOEIC vocabulary building.

When you prepare for a test, you have to check your TOEIC vocabulary list first. For non-English speakers, studying new words is usually the most challenging job. To help self-study or self-taught guys build TOEIC vocabulary, we compiled this word list. It has more than 3000 words with definitions of 9 languages. Because many ESL speakers used to explain new English words in their home language, they take this feature as a great asset.

If you glance at the list, you will know this isn’t a basic or easy vocabulary list. This list is a relatively complete and difficult vocabulary for high-score test takers, especially for the reading and writing sections. If you have two or three months before test day and are seriously preparing for the test, this TOEIC vocabulary is a good choice to work with.
