Features: Building a solid foundation in language is crucial, and taking mock tests seriously is like bricks to a building. Various standardized tests that assess students' English abilities, whether directly or indirectly, test candidates' mastery of vocabulary. Some tests, such as China's College English Test Band 4 and 6 (CET-4 and CET-6), are based on teaching syllabi, and candidates can memorize vocabulary according to the "General Vocabulary List for College English Teaching Syllabus." In contrast, U.S. tests like TOEFL and GRE are grounded in the assessment of language proficiency, featuring more direct vocabulary-related questions, and various versions of vocabulary guides are available. The IELTS exam, however, tests candidates' language communication skills, with no dedicated vocabulary questions on the test paper. Vocabulary is more integrated throughout the exam. Without a solid vocabulary foundation, difficulties will arise in both listening, speaking, reading, writing, and test-taking.
