I think a lot of that vocab was in my honors-level sophomore and junior English classes. Could have been the years, the teachers, etc. I agree that this test wasn't difficult... I didn't find the SAT to be difficult, either, though.

Thank you ma'am! You gave me a push for development.

Mine was 30,383, top 0.01%. It seems to me from reading the results of other posters that getting all the answers correct causes the test to generate a random number between about 29,000 and 31,000.

I took some of the other tests. Nothing better to do this morning.


97/100 - Spelling Test
98/100 - American English Test
127/200 - IQ
32 - My Mental Age (Real Age 72) - Makes sense, I suppose.

30,500, top 0.01%. (Have a screen cap, not sure how to put it here without an image host.)

Not surprised. Also don't think much of these quizzy thingies.

I got 30,396, top 0.01%,

Which evidently correlates to, "a vocabulary equal to that of a 30-year old successful American businessperson."

Too funny.

Easy test.

I agree with it being not particularly comprehensive. But it does not have that many questions.
I got that too.

In my experience, when they don't tell you how many you got right and wrong it's just a click bait quiz.

It's too long or I'd go back and purposely answer some wrong and see if they ding me for it - which click bait quizzes usually don't.

Your English Vocabulary Size is:
29486
★★★ Top 0.23%

So I have read a lot. Use those words and people look at you like you are from outer space.

Must be because it was mostly science fiction.
