Why This List Is Different from Secondary 1

Secondary 1 G1 Advanced focuses on dependable high-utility language. Secondary 2 adds more analysis, comparison, inference and judgement. Earlier words remain useful, but they do not take another place in this Top 100.

How to Use Advanced Vocabulary at G1

Advanced does not mean rare. It means more precise than the first word that comes to mind. Learn the word, use it in a clear sentence, and be able to explain it in simpler English.
