The 100 Words Essential For Passing International Exams and Helpful Tips For How to Learn Them.


When preparing to achieve a proficient level in a language, or preparing for an international exam, there is no doubt that vocabulary forms the strength and foundation of your knowledge, and determines your ultimate level of success.

Without a sufficient level of vocabulary, all of the other skills that we require to learn a language become confusing rather than a skill that you have mastered. Without a sufficient level of vocabulary, listening becomes a series of unrecognizable sounds, reading becomes page after page of illegible confusion and grammar becomes more of a bemusing mathematical equation than the glue that forms intelligent sentences.

This is why vocabulary is a process of learning and accumulation that develops and grows with each of us as we progress through the different levels of English, becoming especially important for those students wishing to achieve a B2 to C2 level of English.ç

Below is a list of 100 words that are designed to help you improve the foundation of your general English skills, and to also help you prepare for formal English tests like Cambridge, Michigan, PTE, TOEFL, IELTS etc. In this list, rather than give you the meanings and examples, which honestly makes students lazy learners, it requires you to find the meaning and to then use the words in the correct context.



The 100 Most Important Phrasal Verbs to Learn.

These 100 words, once learned, will become the foundation of your vocabulary upon which you can add, grow and steadily improve your proficiency in the language.

Tips for how to learn vocabulary.

  • Look carefully through the list to make sure you know the words and are confident that you can use them in your written or spoken English.
  • For the words that you don't know, look up the meaning and then put them in a sentence.
  • Make a handwritten note of any new words, ideally in a separate notepad that you carry with you. Whenever you have a few minutes – waiting for a bus, just before going to sleep, waiting for your dinner to cook – take out the list and look through, reminding yourself of the word and the meaning.
  • Write the new word a number of times – writing down vocabulary will help you remember it and will also help with spelling.
  • Another good technique is to type the word into Google and read the example sentences in the search results. Google is especially helpful for many students who learn better electronically than they do using standard methods.
