IELTS Vocabulary

The difference between Band 6.5 and Band 7.0 isn't knowing more words — it's using them naturally. The IELTS scoring rubric explicitly tests collocations: natural word combinations that native speakers use without thinking.

"Make a decision" not "do a decision." "Heavy rain" not "strong rain." "Raise awareness" not "grow awareness." These are the patterns that examiners listen for.

This deck is built around collocations, not isolated vocabulary. Every card shows the word in its natural partnerships, with example sentences pulled from real academic and conversational contexts. Organized by IELTS topic areas so you study the vocabulary that actually appears on the exam.
