THE BARTON ENGLISH VOCABULARY TEST: Test Your Vocabulary Online For Free

Having a strong vocabulary is essential for understanding and communicating effectively in English.

The Barton English Vocabulary Test was designed in 2012 and updated in 2021. A shorter Javascript version of the quiz can now be found here.

This vocabulary test contains hundreds of unique fill-in-the-blank questions to help you build your vocabulary, level by level. In the test, you'll have to select the most suitable word that matches the sentence in each question. The vocabulary test questions are divided into four English levels.

Here is an example of an upper-intermediate question:
"The outside of the restaurant was recently redesigned in order to ... more customers."

(The answer is attract).

Please read the level descriptions below to determine which level is best for you. The difficulty of each word has been determined by the English Vocabulary Profile ( EVP) and the Corpus of Contemporary American English ( COCA).

Feel free to repeat the test again and again so you can learn from your mistakes. Good luck!
