How to REALLY Learn IELTS Vocabulary

The video tutorial emphasizes that memorizing vocabulary lists, such as the academic word list, is ineffective for IELTS preparation.

For active vocabulary, keeping a vocabulary notebook and practicing words regularly is recommended. The course '3 Keys IELTS' offers guidance on maintaining such a notebook, including short lists of informal and formal words for various topics.
