How a custom vocabulary level quiz works

Most published vocabulary level quizzes are written for a generic learner, so the words on them may not match the book, course or word list you actually have.

Use the words from your current unit, not a generic list.
Mix question types so you test recognition and recall.
Read the explanation after every wrong answer.
Retake the quiz after a few days to see what you remember.

Example vocabulary level quiz questions

Which word best completes this sentence? The hikers were ___ after the long climb. A) exhausted B) elated C) curious D) gentleA) exhausted. Exhausted means extremely tired, which fits a long, difficult climb.

Choose the synonym of "brief." A) long B) short C) bright D) heavyB) short. Brief means lasting a short time or using few words.

True or false: "benevolent" means unkind.False. Benevolent means kind and generous, the opposite of malevolent.

Which word is the opposite of "scarce"? A) rare B) plentiful C) fragile D) hiddenB) plentiful. Scarce means in short supply, so plentiful is its antonym.
