The vocabulary is carefully chosen using recognised word lists such as the Academic Word List (AWL), Academic Vocabulary List (AVL) and the Academic Collocation List (ACL). The last of these is especially important in order to improve collocation use, an area assessed by these exams. There are 20 words/phrases in total, including deterrent, enforce, engage in, and perpetrator. Research has shown that comfortable reading comprehension requires knowledge of around 8000-9000 words, and it is therefore important for students to learn more than just high-frequency words (the first 3000 words by frequency, also called 1k-3k), and study words in the mid-frequency range (i.e. 3001-9000, also called 4k-9k). Knowledge of these words will also increase range of vocabulary and allow students to use less common items, which are assessed in the IELTS and TOEFL exams.
