The methodology is based on cognitive principles, including spaced repetition and simulation of conditions close to a natural language environment. The technological process of analyzing user interactions on the platform helps tailor educational programs to individual needs. Interactive components and progress visualization, help maintain engagement in the learning process. The platform creates an environment for studying words in context, enhancing their practical application. The results demonstrate that the Scafwording application is an effective tool for learning. The information presented in this study is valuable for students, educators, and professionals as it offers opportunities to learn language based on individually tailored strategies. Keywords: Scafwording, GRE, vocabulary, reinforcement learning, spaced repetition, contextual learning. Introduction: Modern educational technologies are driving the evolution of learning approaches, which are essential for exam preparation, which requires The American Journal of Applied Sciences 18 https://www.theamericanjournals.com/index.php/tajas The American Journal of Applied Sciences mastering vocabulary and analyzing presented texts.

However, Scientific studies in this field concentrate on most of these programs fail to account for individual developing methodologies for analyzing the learner characteristics, offering a standardized functionality of educational software.
