 Background Studies
• Dictionary is the standard collection of words but vocabulary is the words learned
by a individual. A person can develop her/his vocabulary but not dictionary.

• Some organizations make ranking on vocabulary level based on gender, nation,

country, etc.

• Also various types of test taken worldwide in online & offline to define the
vocabulary level

• Vocabulary learning dilemma: learning all words is not possible, difficult to

choose which words are necessary to learn.

• Some English language proficiency test that need vocabulary knowledge: SAT II,
Cambridge English Language Assessment, Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE),
CAEL, TOEFL, TSE, TOEIC, TrackTest, ITEP, TELC, etc.
