Q&A
How many words have been selected in Difficult IELTS Words? And what criteria
are followed to select words for this web app?
This web app includes 1000+ difficult words. Because we usually adjust the word bank
per 6 months, so the vocabulary size may change slightly. This web app is designed
for students who are working hard to get high scores on IELTS tests. The words are
usually less frequent daily but occasionally appear in the IELTS exam, especially in the
reading section. If you are ready for basic vocabulary, this is a good option to enrich
your hard IELTS words.

What are the special features of Difficult IELTS Words?

This web app isn't only a word list. It lets students manage each word with one of
three states: New, Known, and Review. So you can skip known words, review half-
known words, and focus on new words. This mechanism ensures you never waste
time on known words, keep a fast pace, and high productivity in your IELTS test
preparation.

How can I save word status for future use?

The statues are always kept on your local device when running Difficult IELTS Words
app. Before saving to the server, you should sign-on. You can manage this through the
Note or Panel page. The 'Save' button will send the current statuses to the cloud and
you can access them anytime and anywhere online. If you don't have an account of
examword.com yet, please register one. An account of examword.com is good for all

a new status immediately. However, these changes aren't saved in the cloud
automatically. If you want to sync the new word status, you have to save them. Save

When do I use the Refresh button?

The refresh button will retrieve statuses that are kept in the cloud for the Difficult IELTS
Words app. If you doubt the current page isn't consistent with the statuses you saved
before, or you want to restore the previous statuses at a new device, the 'Refresh'
button can help you. Refresh only impacts words in the current page.

Why are the statuses not as same as my previous practice?

If you doubt any error of your IELTS data at the local device, please use the 'Refresh'
button to update statuses on demands.
