To build CAT-level vocabulary most effectively, the recommended approach is:
AMemorise a list of 500 words in 5 days
BRead long-form newspapers, essays, fiction regularly
CSkip vocab; focus only on grammar and reading
DPractise speaking informal English with friends daily
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Read long-form newspapers, essays, fiction regularly
Long-form reading builds vocabulary that sticks. Flashcard-only memorisation evaporates within weeks. CAT favours mid-frequency words used in unusual ways, which appear naturally in good reading material.
