Test your vocabulary

Post by Virgil »

http://www.testyourvocab.com/. So, tell us how much you got. I scored around 17000, though I doubt mine is that big.. The test gives you a somewhat different set of words each time, so you could try passing it several times to see what's the average.

5,440... Well, I have to practise more then. But I don't get why I had to give my age or say I wasn't good at school.

You could have skipped that step, that's for statistical purposes only.

Oh, haha, I see. I did again and I got around 7,500. So let's say my level is around 6,500.
You guys are good, but I console myself by knowing how to put a comma for numbers :P Just kidding!

30,800 - though I have to admit I cheated a little and checked ones I could extrapolate the meaning from given the latin root...

*edit* Okay, 29,700 when I don't check those.

17,500

Actually, we should make people posting their score mandatory for every user. That way we can determine how to interpret 'iffy' posts by members, to see what the real intention behind the message could be.

Iffy. Word 4005 in the list? :P
