- The test measures receptive vocabulary, which includes words recognized in reading and listening.
- Receptive vocabulary is larger than productive vocabulary (words actively used in speech or writing).
- Results are reported in word families (e.g., 'limit' and its derivatives count as one family).
- The test database includes up to 25,000 word families, though English has more words.
- Advanced statistics and adaptive testing allow accurate results with few questions.
- Detailed score comparisons are available from over 220,000 native and non-native speakers.
- For low reliability, retake the test and mark only words you truly know.
