Aptis for Teachers: Vocabulary Practice Test 3

Teachers Vocabulary Test 3

Aptis for Teachers Vocabulary Practice Test 3

Here’s another free Aptis for Teachers vocabulary test designed especially for teachers. It includes typical themes and scenarios that you may come across in your teaching life. Our tests closely follow official exam format, and we’ve set exam time-limits too.

Remember, the Aptis Core Test consists of the vocabulary and grammar components.ย  You have to answer 50 questions in 25 minutes in total, equally divided between the two linguistic areas. So you have 25 questions to do in 12.5 minutes in the vocabulary component of the test. This means you can take up to 30 seconds per question. If you take too long doing the tests, theyโ€™ll automatically finish and youโ€™ll have to start again.

There are four question-types: word pairs, word definitions, word usage and word combinations. Before each mini-test we’ll give you a clear description and an example of each question-type.ย 

For a more detailed description go to Aptis for Teachers: Vocabulary Practice Test 1.

Remember to keep these points in mind while youโ€™re doing the tests:

  • Read all of the options carefully before choosing your answer. Some of them may be quite similar.
  • Donโ€™t spend too long on any of the questions.ย  Remember, you can always come back and try it again later, both here and in the official exam.
  • Always answer the question. Never leave it blank.ย

    2. Hi guys.
      Dilfuza GOOD LUCK.

      My exam is also tomorrow๐Ÿ˜Ÿ
      I am a bit nervous.

      At first I thought it was easy one.
      But then I found It was difficult enough.

      1. Good luck as well Nadira – remember to let us know how it went! If you’ve watched our Aptis for Teachers videos, you’ll have lots of education vocabulary! For the writing, here is our advice (when we get time we’ll make this into a video)

        Follow instructions and answer the questions. Read them carefully. e.g. If the question asks โ€˜Why?โ€™ โ€“ then remember to give a reason!

        Keep to the word count. If you fail to do this then youโ€™ll lose marks.

        Be as accurate as you can (try not to make mistakes)

        Use a variety of grammar and sentence structures. Show the examiner what you know!

        Use the proper punctuation, paragraphs and capitalize when necessary.

        For informal emails use contractions, informal language and phrasal verbs and try to sound friendly. Avoid the use of SMS spellings.

        For the formal email โ€“ try to sound ‘formal’. Use the proper conventions eg. Start with โ€˜Dear + nameโ€™ – finish with โ€˜Yours sincerely + your nameโ€™ and โ€˜Dear + without name just job titleโ€™ โ€“ finish with โ€˜Yours faithfully + your nameโ€™ Paragraphs, have an introduction (reason for writing) middle (body of letter) and conclusion/finish off letter.

        All the best John and Chris ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘
