Introduction to the Preliminary Vocabulary List
The Preliminary Vocabulary List gives teachers a guide to the vocabulary needed when
preparing students for the Preliminary and Preliminary for Schools examinations.
Background to the list

The Preliminary Vocabulary List was originally developed by Cambridge Assessment in
consultation with external consultants to guide item writers who produce materials for the
Preliminary examination. It includes vocabulary from the Council of Europe’s Threshold
(1990) specification and other vocabulary which corpus evidence shows is high frequency.
The list covers vocabulary appropriate to the B1 level on the Common European Framework
of Reference (CEFR) and includes receptive vocabulary (words that the candidate is
expected to understand but which are not the focus of a question) and productive vocabulary
(words that the candidate needs to know to answer a question).
The list does not provide an exhaustive list of all words which appear on the Preliminary and
Preliminary for Schools question papers and candidates should not confine their study of
vocabulary to the list alone.
How the list is updated

The vocabulary of English changes over time, with words being added and other words
falling into disuse. In order to maintain its currency, the Preliminary Vocabulary List is
updated on a regular basis, with the decision to add or remove words being informed by
reference to the Cambridge Learner Corpus and English Profile Wordlists.
The Cambridge Learner Corpus is a collection of over 44 million words of English, based
upon evidence of language use by learners from all over the world and from which the
English Vocabulary Profile has developed. The English Vocabulary Profile shows the
most common words and phrases that learners of English need to know in British or
American English. The meaning of each word or phrase in the wordlists has been assigned
a level between A1 and B2 on the CEFR.
A preview version of the English Vocabulary Profile can be accessed by visiting the
website: http://www.englishprofile.org
Organisation of the list

 Word sets
Some categories of words that a learner at this level might be expected to know, e.g. days of
the week, are not included in the alphabetical list but are listed in Appendix 1. Although
‘grammar words’ (pronouns, modal verbs, etc.) are included, the Language Specification
section of the Preliminary Handbook and Preliminary for Schools Handbook (available from
from www.cambridgeenglish.org) should be consulted for a more complete listing.
 Exemplification
Example phrases and sentences showing how words might be used are given only where
words with different meanings need to be constrained. For example, heel is followed by ‘I
can’t walk in high heels’ – this shows that heel is limited to the idea of shoes: candidates are
not expected to know other meanings, such as the part of the body.

Schools Vocabulary List
 Multi-word verbs
Multi-word verbs are not included in the list if they have a literal meaning and are composed
of verbs and particles already in the list. Examples of ‘literal’ multi-word verbs are come into,
sit down, as in ‘Why not come into the kitchen and sit down?’ If the meaning of the verb is
not transparent, e.g. find out, get along, give in, then the verb is listed and an example of
usage given.
 Topic lists
In Appendix 2, words have been grouped together under common Preliminary and/or
Preliminary for Schools themes, such as ‘Food and Drink’, ‘House and Home’ and ‘Sport’.
Not all the words in the Topic Lists headings appear on the wordlist.
Unsuitable topics
Cambridge Assessment English examinations must not contain anything that might offend or
upset candidates, potentially affect their performance or distract them during the
examination. A number of ‘sensitive’ topics are considered unsuitable for use in Preliminary
and Preliminary for Schools, for example war and politics, and vocabulary relating to these is
not included in the Preliminary Vocabulary List.
Personal vocabulary
The content of the Preliminary Vocabulary List is general in nature and is unlikely to cover
completely the productive vocabulary that may be required by all candidates. Candidates
should know the specific lexis they will need to describe themselves and their lives, for
example hobbies, likes and dislikes.
Abbreviations
Abbreviations used in the Preliminary Vocabulary List are:
abbrev abbreviation or acronym mv modal verb

adj adjective n noun
adv adverb phr v phrasal verb
av auxiliary verb pl plural
Am Eng American English prep preposition
Br Eng British English prep phr prepositional phrase
conj conjunction pron pronoun
det determiner sing singular
exclam exclamation v verb
