Cool, thanks for the link man.
Hmm ... genius, huh ? I have the word to "describe my exellence" - it's im-friggin-perfection. Not counting the irrelevant (?) Beginner questions i scored what, an 8 ? Our education/university system has grades from 1-10 (actually from 5-10 since anything below 6 means you flunked) and i got 6 and 7 in my only two years of uni level English. Needless to say those exams involved vocabulary questions as well which always dragged ny grades down. Ergo, far from decent, let alone "genius". The "genius" who put this test together should reevaluate his grading criteria.

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.

In my defense, I was on the phone with my girl while I was taking the test, otherwise I might have fared better.

Yeah .. and i was watching p0rn in the other wndow
Anyway, my hat is off to folks who scored 100% on either "advanced" or "expert" levels - i revieved the grading criteria (nswers key) and apart from one question where all four answers score exactly the same some of those things aren't easy at all; IMHO there are a couple of easy-to-fall-in-traps-of-some-kind questions in each of the two highest categories, i got busted in both.
Ironically enough though some correct answers seem far more straightforward to a non-native Engish speaker like myelf than the worng asnwers do (i wouldn't know where to use the "wrong" words presented with some of those questions, mainly the odd nouns and adjectives)
