Firstly, it’s particularly important to take your performance on practice exams into account, especially considering how difficult it will be to improve if you don’t have a clear idea of how much you need to improve by. Whether you’ve made it that far or not, the good news is that the CAT will not test your ability to simply memorize words. However, to avoid getting tripped up by the wording of questions, you’ll still find it helpful to spend some time adding to your vocabulary.
With all of that said here are some ways to take your make learning new words far more fun and productive.

1. Read stories that grab your attention

While flashcards and other memorization methods might work for some students, it quickly becomes a tedious task that doesn’t always generate results. It’s far easier to attach an emotional response (and mnemonic device) to words you’ve read in a story that resonated with you. Start by identifying your current reading level to determine what you should start reading first. The Macmillan Readers Level test will use your results to suggest titles at your current level. However, there are many reading level assessments available online , so feel free to choose whichever works best for you.

Not only will you remember vocabulary attached to your favorite characters and plot lines, outside reading will also show you how words are used by professional writers, which is a benefit you won’t find by simply staring at a list or a large stack of flash cards. If you want to really challenge yourself, start reading The Economist. You’ll find plenty of articles that will enhance your vocabulary as well as reading comprehension.

2. Make your flashcards smarter

While they aren’t the end-all solution to vocabulary strengthening, there is no need to completely dismiss flashcards as a study tool. If you do find that flashcards suit your learning style, make them work a little harder for you.

Instead of simply writing the word on one side and the definition on the other, try replacing the dictionary’s definition of the word with a sentence that means something to you. Include real family, friend and life events that you’ll respond to and remember easily.

3. Take your new vocabulary outside

It will take a bit of bravery on your part, but don’t restrict your growing vocabulary to your home. Be bold and slowly begin weaving new words into everyday conversation as you start grasping them.

Challenge yourself to vary the situations in which you use your new vocabulary, but don’t be afraid to bring a stack of flashcards or even a list of words along with you. Remember that you’re still learning a lot of new words all at once, so if you need to refer back to a definition, you’ll still make great gains by testing your vocabulary in real-world situations.

Other things that could be done are:

  1. Get this book: Word Power Made Easy by Norman Lewis
  2. Learn at least 20 new words a day and also learn all the synonyms of those words.
  3. Listen to English songs, watch English movies in your leisure time and read English books (some novels or short stories).
  4. Read newspaper everyday, especially the editorial section
  5. Download these apps: News in Shorts, English Idioms, Idioms and Phrases. They’re quite helpful.
  6. Prepare cue cards and keep them handy. Read them in your leisure time or while travelling.
  7. If you also want to be good at grammar, buy High School English Grammar by Wrenn and Martin
