How to Improve Your Vocabulary for TOEFL

• INTRODUCTION: Aiming to learn about five words a day may not look too much on the hindsight, but these can really make a difference. Since most TOEFL books include about four to five hundred words a day, you should ideally be able to master them all. Here, we have come up with a few proven tips to improve your stock of words for the TOEFL examination.
• CREATE CATEGORIES: Creating categories of words is important because it can help you imagine words in the context. That is precisely how your brain functions. You always organize your thoughts around different categories and relate to them according to the situation. This approach is typically useful for TOEFL studies.
• MAKE A LIST OF CATEGORIES: Make a list of relevant categories that are relevant to your daily life. These may include the likes of: Career, Education, Relationships, Business, Sports, Politics, Environment, Food, Health, etc.
• BREAK YOUR EXISTING CATEGORIES INTO SECTIONS: After you’ve your categories, create sections under each. These may include: People, Places, Groups, Things, Actions, Feelings, Personality, Experiences, Relationships, etc.
• NOW FILL UP THE CATEGORIES: Once you have created an organized table with relevant sections, fill it up with relevant words (and phrases). For example, If there’s a category “Education” with “people” as one of its sections, you may add these words to that column: Professor, Teacher, Student , etc.
• REVIEW YOUR LIST OF WORDS: To remember your stock of words, it is necessary that you review them as frequently as possible, at least once a week.

You may use things like flashcards, sticky notes, practice quizzes etc. for this job of yours.
