- (2023-09-19) Przemek: One of the best extensions. I work as an English teacher. I use it all the time. The only problem I can think of is that there isn't any keyboard shortcut to quickly add new word to the list.
- (2021-02-25) Cindy Leibel: As an ESL instructor, I'm always looking for more tools that my students can use to help with their learning. This tool is very easy to use and is quite accessible. I find that the fill-in-the-blank/cloze answers are great for students who also want to practice their inference skills, and the availability of drag-and-drop answers is also helpful. As the other review mentions, the words selected sometimes feel a bit arbitrary, but I'm willing to overlook that for the ease of practice and accessibility this will offer to my students.
- (2021-02-25) Maya Shlayen: This extension works technology-wise, but isn't helpful for actually learning a language. The idea is to create an immediate fill-in-the-blank test based on some text that you chose yourself. But so what? Let's say I highlight a sentence like this: "I will go to the mall to buy a new pair of jeans." You don't get to chose which word will get blanked out - the extention might blank out "I", which isn't exciting for anyone who isn't a total beginner in a language. Also, in this example, there are other words that would make perfect sense here, instead of "I": we, you, etc... correctly guessing "I" in this sentence doesn't give you anything. It doesn't help reinforce any grammatical concepts (since English doesn't have lots of verb conjugations) or anything else. The idea of using fill-in-the-blanks is good one, but you can do that in Anki by creating cloze deletion sentences (Google it). Yes, it will take you 2 extra seconds to copy/paste something into Anki, but you get to chose what gets blanked out (based on your level and what you actually need to learn/repeat).
- (2021-02-08) Horace Johnson: This extension is awesome! I just highlight the text that I want to practice and right-click to "make a test", and BOOM I have a beautiful fill-in-the-blank practice quiz that I can type my answers into, or even click "show options" and drag-and-drop words from the pre-made word bank. It's nice to see my correct answers in green, and the wrong ones in read. This is awesome practice for learning a language or using it to quiz myself on texts for comprehension! From a busy college student: Thanks, Vocabboost!

Hi, I've tried 'make a random test', but it doesn't work anything. Once I click the section, should something pop up my screen? - (2022-05-20, v:0.0.0.13) Mr. Stepanczuk: Japan list of one thousand recommended Enlish words
Your product looks very useful. I have one question. Here n Japan there is a list of one thousand English recommended words for Ss to study. Is it possible to plug in that entire list into your app? If yes, could Ss then easily and effectively use that list like the others that you offer? Kindly reply.
