How to improve my vocabulary? I am preparing for CAT and other entrance exams.

The best low cost methods are: 1. Daily read newspaper and identify 5 words that you don't understand. Refer a dictionary and learn its meaning, pronunciation and create a sentence using the said word 2. Also try and list down the said words its synonyms and antonyms. 3. Write each word related details on a paper ( use playing card size/type thick ) and put them in a small box. 4. Each day repeat the exercise and do it for 5 new words and simultaneously revise the old words by reading the cards prepared by you 5. Try and ensure that the 5 words that you learn each day and used by you in your day to day communication with people around. This will reinforce the words & make them a part of your day to day vocabulary 6. Thus, in a month’s time your vocabulary will be richer by minimum 1500 words. 7. To go further recite the sentences, the words and record your voice, then play/replay it to check as to whether your pronunciation were correct or not. Keep working on till your perfect it.

Make a habit to read newspapers, books based upon your subjects of interest and try to note down each and every new word learnt along with its meaning. In addition, you can also watch English news channels. These methods will certainly help you to improve your vocabulary.
