Preply’s vocabulary test estimates how many English words you recognize from your selections, providing a starting point for vocabulary study.
About
Previously Testyourvocab.com, this test is now hosted by Preply. An initial set spans a broad difficulty range; a second sample refines the estimate. Instructions ask you to select a word only when you know at least one precise meaning.
The estimate counts dictionary headwords, generally excluding regular derivations. It relies on self-reported recognition; speaking, listening, and writing require their own practice or assessment.
