You scored 85% Beginner, 100% Intermediate, 86% Advanced, and 80% Expert!
You did so extremely well, even I can't find a word to describe your excellence! You have the uncommon intelligence necessary to understand things that most people don't. You have an extensive vocabulary, and you're not afraid to use it properly! Way to go!

I did not cheat.

As you might have guessed... :D

You scored 92% Beginner, 100% Intermediate, 100% Advanced, and 80% Expert!

Same quote as yours.

A couple of questions I think I answered intentionally incorrectly (because in common usage you can use multiple spellings) and in at least one case I WOULD have answered incorrectly if I hadn't had both choices available. :D

My mom would have killed me if I hadn't scored high, though. She's an English teacher...

Thank you so much for taking my test. I hope you enjoyed it!


I might have the lowest score, but let me remind you, english is my second language.

the english comma system still annoys me though.

Heh. i'm glad they didn't ask any questions that i disagree on the use of... i can be stubborn.

Grats jade, you're the first to get all the advanced questions ;3

Looks like we're a bunch of smart cookies here.

Edit: Go solario! there's no way i'd have done that well in french or even italian. >_< i'm almost inspired.

You have an extremely good understanding of beginner, intermediate, and advanced level commonly confused English words, getting at least 75% of each of these three levels' questions correct. This is an exceptional score. Remember, these are commonly confused English words, which means most people don't use them properly. You got an extremely respectable score.

Oh well, could be worse...

Edit: nice, Sol!
I wish i could use the second language excuse, but i cant cause i always speak english with my rl friends. :)

You scored higher than 67% on Beginner
You scored higher than 59% on Intermediate
You scored higher than 79% on Advanced
You scored higher than 97% on Expert

No, I did not cheat or alter the text of the results. I thought for sure that I missed the question involving the semicolon. Punctuation usually kills me. Yay me! :)

I really would like to know which questions I apparently answered incorrectly, because I usually rock English tests to the bone. (Math on the other hand... not so much :rolleyes: )

I took that last year. As I recall I got 100% on the first three and 90% on the last one. I also recall the test containining a grammatical error of its own, which is what I believe cost me the 10%.

I assume they've fixed that by now.

I thought I'd put in a qualifier so it doesn't sound like I'm boasting. I spent most of a day doing the quiz and agonising over my answers. I have something of an obsessive personality where grammar is concerned.
