The TOEFL is a test that assesses your proficiency in the type of English used in an academic environment. The test is administered on the Internet.

This book revolves around a list of words frequently tested on the TOEFL, as well as other words that may show up and may give students problems. Some of these are words that seem familiar, but for which many people dont know the exact definition or proper usage. Others are words whose primary definitions are easy, but which have less common secondary definitions. Unsurprisingly, the folks who write the TOEFL like to use words that may have multiple definitions. (They wouldnt want to make it too easy, right?)

Weve noted these secondary definitions in the master list in and look up the words they missed. Pick the approach that works best for you. .
