The Commonly Confused Words Test

Advanced
You scored 81% Beginner, 93% Intermediate, 87% Advanced, and 61% Expert!


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's 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.

***Edit to add: {Snerk} as I was posting this, a spelling error was found in the text I cut-n-pasted.

***Edit 2: And [livejournal.com profile] kitabare points out improper use of the possessive in another word.

I'm in the same boat...

i'm tempted to pull out a grammar book and dictionary to see if it's possible to get higher than that on "expert", since it seems to be a _very_ common score. hrmph.

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!

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

It's annoying that you aren't given a list of what you got wrong. I guess you have to print it out and investigate on your own.

I see what you mean by spelling error. I just figured I wouldn't edit mine and would actualy makeit easier to see.

Test statistics:
* Compared to users who took the test and are and in your age group:
o 100% had lower Beginner scores.
o 100% had lower Intermediate scores.
o 100% had lower Advanced scores.
o 100% had lower Expert scores.

NOTES:
1) There is an error in the 'Test statistics' section.

2) From the statistics I deduce that the two people who got 100% on the Advanced questions must be in a different age group than I am. Either that or all the statistics are 100%. -- I don't care enough to go back and QA the statistics by taking the test again and giving deliberately wrong answers.

3) It would be nice to know how many people, and how many people in each age group, had taken the test.
