Word Engine
High Speed Vocabulary Learning System
If you don �t know the Lexxica �Word Engine �, it �s well worth taking a look.

It is especially useful for preparing for exams such as TOEIC, TOEFL, IELTS, EIKEN ... and includes courses of various levels and for general busin
...ess English.
"The major drawback of vocabulary books and even computer vocabulary programs is that regardless of the learner �s ability, they teach the same content to everyone. Tremendous amounts of time are wasted reviewing English that is already known. Wouldn �t it be fantastic if a computer could diagnose each student �s actual needs and prepare a personalized learning course focusing on the most important vocabulary they are missing?"
"...
In addition to developing accurate vocabulary lists Dr. Culligan and the Lexxica team have developed a patented diagnostic test called V-Check. When a student takes the V-Check test it identifies the probabilities of their knowing each of the 50,000 words in Lexxica �s database. The V-Check system then calculates the sum value of a student �s known words against the requirement for each subject. V-Check reports a student �s comprehension as a coverage percentage for each different subject. V-Check then removes known words from the learning course so students can stay focused on learning just the words they are missing for their subject."See More
