IELTS vocabulary

Dear Fabricci
Go to RESOURCES to get a PDF of the word lists. You must know the first 3,000 words of the BNC-COCA (the 3,000 most common words in English) and then start with the New Academic Word List. The good news is that over 400 of the words on the NAWL are included in the BNC-COCA anyway, so you should already know many of them. (Listed below). The other words are on the coloured pages of the PDF and is where you will find 'less common' vocabulary for listening and speaking.
