A) Introduction

In recent years, various English language training programs have been launched to assist trainees with
their English and prepare them for studying in an English-speaking environment. Students usually study
language courses and then take standardized English language tests, such as a national English test or
IELTS or TOEFL at the end of the program. Given the explicit goal of students’ taking the standardized
tests within a limited amount of time, arguably one of the main problems faced by these training
programs is the lack of a proper standardized assessment tool to diagnose students’ problems during the
course of learning and teaching, which consequently might result in ineffective teaching and support.

WordPower is a flexible and accessible free online English vocabulary assessment tool developed by a
team of 3 in SPIC - Center of Excellence, IT Park, Chandigarh.

WordPower brings you a simple tool to measure your vocabulary size. Various levels of quizzes are
made by our team to test your vocabulary skills according to the type of exam you are appearing for
(CAT, MAT, SAT, GRE and so on). A person can register himself/herself and simply login with the
credentials, view the test categories and take quiz accordingly and the results/scores are displayed after
each level the user complete the test. Learners can take the publicly available test which is a general
category test.

The first part with a handful of words to determine the general vocabulary level, a second part with a
larger but narrower selection of words to determine the vocabulary level with greater precision. For the
developer, it will be a reference point during system design, implementation and maintenance

The purpose of this website is to analyze and elaborate on the high-level needs of the various exams
which requires to test your proficiency in English language.
