abulary learning for exams and essays


You'll need to use the right vocabulary to get a good mark in an English essay or exam. In many cases, examiners also want to see some variety in the words that you use, which means you'll need a relatively large "active" vocabulary.

Here are some ways that you can prepare before an exam or an essay.

1. Read through your lecture notes, course books, and course reading (articles, etc) to highlight all the words that you will need.

Check in a dictionary to see how the word is used. Don't miss out this step, as it's important to understand the grammar of the word to use it correctly.

For example, if it's a verb, check that you know if it's followed by a gerund or infinitive form; and if it's an adjective, check to see whether it has a preposition. For nouns, you'll need to know whether it's countable or uncountable. Other useful information to know about the word is the level of formality. Can you only use it in formal or informal situations, or is the word neutral?

2. Organise your vocabulary notes.

You can do this by themes or subjects; with diagrams or colour-coding, etc. What's important is that your notes make sense for you. Just putting all the words in a list is unlikely to help you remember them better.

It's often helpful to have a system that shows you which word is particularly common, and what some of the alternatives are.

3. Start practising the word.

Look at the example sentence in your dictionary, and see if you can create another model of the word in your own sentence in your essay.
