Why practice with an interactive vocabulary quiz beats rereading

Vocabulary sticks when you are asked to recall a word's meaning rather than reread a list, and an interactive vocabulary quiz forces that recall every time. Seeing the correct meaning right after you guess also helps the definition stay in memory.

Multiple-choice options built from your own word list
True/false items that test word meaning and usage
Short-answer prompts that ask for a definition in your own words
Explanations that show why the correct meaning fits

Example vocabulary quiz questions with answers

Which word means 'to lessen the force or seriousness of something'? mitigate, amplify, conveneMitigate, because it means to make something less severe, while amplify means to increase it.

Frequently asked questions

How many words should a vocabulary quiz include?

How do I study vocabulary so the words stick?

Test yourself on each word before checking the definition, then review the ones you missed after a day or two. Using each word in your own sentence also helps it stay in memory.

Can I export my vocabulary quiz?

Yes, the Plus plan lets you export to PDF and DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
