You scored 100% Beginner, 100% Intermediate, 100% Advanced, and 66% Expert!
You have an extremly 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.

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

The Commonly Confused Words Test

Warning:

I took the test earlier and gave the same answers (barring one or two) -- and got much lower scores in the first three categories, and, I believe, a slightly higher score in the last one. Trying to page back, I discovered that the pages appear to update themselves every couple of minutes -- hitting the "Back" button on the browser would keep me looking at Page 3 over and over, until I finally went into History to see a long, long list of "The Commonly Confused Word Test".

I suspect that the automatic update might dump the data every so often. So if you don't agree with your score -- it may not be your software at fault.

I took that sucker and deliberately tried to fail it completely. Instead, I got 18%, 6%, 6%, 55%. It was... puzzling, since I was positive that I'd answered in the most wrong way possible each time. It still put me in the bottom 1% of people who'd ever taken it (that might also be because I said I was born in 1910...), but still. I mean, I got a 710 on the verbal section of the SAT, and while I'm no grammarfiend, I do know what I'm doing.

I'm not convinced there isn't a random number generator in there somewhere, or that it's weighted somehow.

Heh, I'm a little surprised I got a high score, as you've all seen my writing :P I guess I'm just better at multiple choice.

Hm. 100/93/93/66 first time around. It's unfortunate it doesn't tell you what you got wrong - that'd go a long way to inspire confidence in the numbers it spits out. :>

Bloody hell. I had to guess at No.9 because none of the choices fitted. "Had gotten" done? I would said "finished."

I scored 100%/100%/87%/72%

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!

Despite what it says, I believe you got a higher raw score; I just managed to pass the magic 75% threshold for the arcane, technical stuff.

I got 100%, 100%, 100%, and 76%. :) Though the test was a bit of a pain. It kept re-freshing itself, so I had to go back and fill in the answers again to get results more than all 0's.
