    Try the Core 2000 on Smart.fm

    http://smart.fm/explore/goals?keyword=tagged%3A+Core+2000

    When you finish that, they have another 4000 words to get you to 6000.

    Just a personal opinion, but I'm not sure word lists are that useful once you get to intermediate level. That's based on my personal experience - yours might be different.

    Richard, thank you for recommending Smart.fm
    I was going to try to use it with out signing up, but I quickly realized the greater benefit from signing up and working with it.
    I was definitely having a tough time with working on vocab practice alone. This will be a nice new approach to drills.
