Vocabulary plays an imperative role in the TOEFL exam. However, it is a herculean task to imbibe thousands of words at a single click. Instead of doing efforts to learn magnificent kind of vocabulary on a single day, one can adhere some convenient strategies. Initially, the words can be categorized on the basis of topics so that the words can be easily inculcated in one's intellect and the categories can be divided weekly. Next, try to guess the meanings of the words and make sentences and ultimately, on the weekend, try to revise the words so that the vocabulary can be fitted into mind for a long while.
Vocabulary is an essential part of the TOEFL exam. Look at your thick dictionary lying on your table. It has more than thousands of TOEFL Exam essential words. Are you supposed to learn all of them at once? Well, obviously, not. Do not forget a classic phrase, slow and steady wins the race.
It would be best if you aim to learn five new words a day, five days a week. If you go by this strategy, you will be able to master 25 words in a week. Moreover, nearly 100 new words a month and 1200 words a year. It doesn’t seem much of a task. Well, it isn’t. The best part of this strategy is that most essential TOEFL words included in books are merely 400-500. It means you mastered all of them in just 4-5 months. Learning five words each day is only active learning. Now, this brings us to the next most crucial part in the process to learn five new TOEFL words a day effectively:

Create categories:
It is advisable to create categories because it will let you imagine your word well. Words won’t appear by themselves, and you only have to organize your thoughts around them. You can start by making a list of specific categories which are essential to your life and the TOEFL exam. You can add categories like
• Education
• Career
• Business
• Relationships
• Family
• Sports
• Religion, and soon.
We have mentioned some of the examples so that you could get a fair picture. The next step is to fill your categories with existing vocabulary.

Select your words:
You can choose a group for a week. Let’s say; you picked Education for this week. Now choose five words a day like Professor, Students, teachers, etc. You can find the words from a TOEFL word list book.
This is a great approach and will increase the chances that these words will appear in your TOEFL test. You can select words for your categories from reading and listening practice material.
Define your chosen words:
Now that you have chosen your words for your groups, the next important step is to define them. It is advisable to try to guess the meaning of each word after reading it in the entire sentence. To confirm, you can use the monolingual English dictionary. Now, that you now know the meaning of the word, create your sentence using that word.
Review your words:
After writing your words according to the category, then is the time to review your words. For this, you can either use flashcards or sticky notes or can set timers on your phone. Use your words throughout the day. Try to use those words while you are practising your speaking and writing modules. Also, it is best if you could ask your friends or family to quiz you.
