Vocabulary exercises (combined Vocab post/proof)

Vocabulary exercises

Today I had to realize that the "deadline" for this post was actually last night and I don't know if it will still be accepted. Nevertheless, I'm going to write one in order to practice for the upcoming exam. Although it seems that I was mistaken. A newly added part of the WBW informed me that my oral exam would be next week. Well, I was motivated to study anyway, so I visited the vocabulary.com website.
After doing around twenty of the "LEARN THIS LIST" exercises I realized that the most difficult part of the exam would not be the sentence containing the porter words, but the description. Some of the words are really rare like "ambiguity" or "amorphous" are not only hard to pronounce (but this will come later on in my pronunciation post), but are also rarely used. For me the hardest part was to come up with "related" words. Sometimes the related words are just so rare that they seem weird. Frank used a good example in his "fake" test last week. APPARATUS-> I know I am not a native English speaker but I never heard this word except for some scientists referring to their complete laboratory equipment as their "apparatus"(I hope I'm right).

Okay on to the next topic. I really enjoyed the "spelling bee" exercises. I got most of them right but as there are some words in the English language, which are (or at least I got the feeling) just randomly pronounced, I made some annoying mistakes. However, listening to movies in their native English language for the last five years has really sharpened my listening skills, as well as imporved my vocabulary.

In order to have any proof of studying the porter words I did some vocab exercices today. I have no idea at all how I should describe my learning system when it comes to vocabulary. I think that using vocabulary.com is a productive way, because the site will always tell you what the right answer would have been, as well as a complete description of the word or phrase you are working on. Here are some screenshots depicting my results. The next time I won't start at 11 pm and in   order to crack the highscore I should have stayed with the words of the first unit(not because they're easier but with 1.5 k points per 10 words, you get a lot more than in the units 5 or 6).
