Top Vocabulary Quiz by the Best Online IBPS Coaching Classes

English Language in the competitive examinations can be divided into three parts – comprehension, grammar and vocabulary. Whereas the learnings in the other two sections are limited and you can finish them without any issue, the syllabus of vocabulary is never ending. Vocabulary simply implies the stock of words. But is it possible to have unlimited stock of words? It is practically impossible. So, how to go ahead in this section? Is there no other way out for the candidates?

Vocabulary questions can be divided into two segments – Contextual Vocabulary and Direct Vocabulary. Contextual Vocab means questions from reading comprehension, cloze test etc. whereas the direct vocab questions include synonyms, antonyms etc. The first type can be solved with the help of your reading capability and regular practice in Banking PO and SSC CGL Online Coaching Classes at Vidya Guru. The second part can be mastered only through continuous acquisition of word power and creating mind maps to retain the meaning and application of such words.

Our objective is to assimilate the meanings of the words that we learn. That can be best done through learning the application of such words. Once you see a word in a sentence that registers in your mind more strongly. Apart from that, association of a word with a real-life situation also helps in retaining the words and their meanings.

With that in mind, we have decided to start with a series to help you learn words in an organic manner. These quizzes are more important in terms of learning, rather than your score in these quizzes. So, do not get disheartened if you score poorly in it.

Having said all these, let us move on to the quiz. Try it, attempt the questions but more importantly, learn the meanings of the words and their application.
