Information
Although words are listed under specific topic headings, they are not always exclusive
to these. Many words can also relate to other topic areas, but may only be listed in
one.
At the end of each section you will find some blank pages, these enable you to note
down other words that you encounter during the GCSE course and which may prove
useful.
Please note that this is not a complete list of all vocabulary for the Edexcel GCSE,
and should be used as a reference guide that students can refer to and add to rather
than a definitive list of vocabulary needed to achieve a specific grade.
This vocabulary book is currently a first draft; if centres notice any errors in the
vocabulary lists contained in this document please let us know and we will ensure
they are updated appropriately.
