Dear Students, This test has been written for students who are planning to develop their vocabulary. It covers some of the main vocabulary areas that you will need for, or come across in English. To help you develop your vocabulary more effectively, you should use a good monolingual English dictionary. This should clearly explain what the words mean, show you how they are pronounced, show you their various forms where relevant (e. G. , what the noun form of an adjective is), tell you which words or phrases they collocate with, and give sample sentences to show you how the words are used. by Bahaa A. Hassan
