《大學英語教學大綱》對四級詞匯的要求是：“領會式掌握4200單詞(其中復用式掌握的單詞為2500)，以及由這些詞構成的常用詞組1600條(中學所掌握的詞和詞組均包括在內)，并且有按照基本構詞法識別生詞的能力。”
如果能將歷年真題中相關題目整理出來，則基本可以覆蓋考查的范圍。單詞題除了極少量的搭配題（選項為介詞，要求與題干中動詞搭配)，全部是單詞辨義題。
1.精研歷年全真題。切勿簡單地認為考過的題毫無價值可言，恰恰相反，因為四級考試是一項標準化的命題考試，某一種題型如果特別有針對性，或者其答案被多數考生選錯，那就證明該題的效度和信度較高，重考的機率相對來說也就大一些。例如：90年1月的42題和97年6月的33題；95年1月的49題和97年1月的36題：98年1月的42題和2000年6月的46題等等。
2.熟悉常考的詞匯題型。
3.應該多閱讀，甚至背誦一些經典句型和篇章。《21世紀報》、《新概念英語》三、四冊。
