Master the vocabulary
that matters.

When you sign in, you get 5 free quiz credits to start. Each credit unlocks one 10-question vocabulary quiz on the test of your choice. When you run out, you can buy 30 more for $10. Credits never expire.

The free browse lets anyone explore all 9294 vocabulary words with definitions and example sentences — no sign-in required. Quiz credits unlock adaptive multiple-choice quizzes that test recall, contextual fit, and discrimination between confusable words, with progress tracking, score history, and missed-word review.

Four modes: Classic (match a word to its definition), Cloze (fill in the blank from an example sentence), Pairs (pick between two confusable words), and Random (each question independently rolls one of the three formats).

Every completed quiz is recorded with your score, the test, the mode, and the words you missed. Your account page shows a 12-week activity heatmap and a score-trend line chart with all four tests color-coded. Tap a dot on the chart to review the words you got wrong.

Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis within 7 days of purchase. Because credits are a digital service that activate immediately, we'll usually issue a refund for unused credits if you reach out promptly.

Words are selected through frequency analysis of official test preparation materials, past exam content, and high-frequency word lists. Each word appears in actual standardized test contexts and is verified against official study guides from ETS (GRE, TOEFL), College Board (SAT), and the British Council (IELTS).

Standardized tests don't quiz you on definitions — they test whether you can understand complex reading passages, evaluate arguments, and write clearly. A strong vocabulary helps you comprehend questions faster, choose precise words in essays, and recognize correct answers in sentence completion and reading comprehension sections.

Research shows that learning words through context — such as reading stories or academic passages — leads to better long-term retention than memorizing definitions alone. As Reading Rockets explains, effective vocabulary instruction combines wide reading with direct word study. ExamVocab publishes daily vocabulary stories that weave test words into engaging fiction, helping you internalize meaning and usage naturally. This mirrors how vocabulary is actually tested: in context, not as isolated definitions.

Yes. On the GRE, vocabulary directly impacts Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence scores. On the SAT, word-in-context questions are a core part of Evidence-Based Reading. TOEFL and IELTS both score lexical resource in writing and speaking sections — using precise, varied vocabulary is explicitly required for top scores. Vocabulary improvement is one of the most efficient ways to raise your overall score.

ExamVocab covers 9294 curated vocabulary words across GRE, SAT, TOEFL, and IELTS — 2 to 3 times more than most prep apps, which typically offer 1,000 to 3,000 words for a single test. Every word includes a definition, pronunciation, and example sentence. All words are free to browse online with no sign-up required. ExamVocab also publishes daily vocabulary stories and study tips to help you learn words in context, not just memorize definitions.
