IELTS vocabulary that sticks
Words come back just before you would forget them. Get one right and it moves up a drawer; miss it and it starts again.
How does the IELTS word cabinet work?
Every word starts in drawer 1 (New, reviewed every day). Get it right and it moves up: Learning (every 2 days), Familiar (every 4), Strong (every 8) and Mastered (every 16). Miss it and it goes back to drawer 1. A 75-second lightning round lets you drill as many as you can, and words you save from Ask Dodo join the cabinet.

Yes. Lessons, the word cabinet and the lightning round do not use your plan.
