You are Shakespeare! You can even create new words that will expand the English dictionary.

I know I have a large vocabulary, but I don't actually use those words in my daily speaking or even in rambling posts here.

My vocabulary size it quite high, or should I say altitudinous. I'm Shakespeare, too!


Edit: Crap! I just looked up altitudinous and somebody has beaten me to it! Maybe I'm only Marlowe.

Maybe you did like read books after work as a selfeducated student.

Is English your first language and, if you went to high school in the USA, did you take the type of English class that would prepare you to take the SAT? I think the test is geared more toward native English speakers who took the SATs or similar when in high school.

But you're not a native speaker of English. It means you have a basic conversational knowledge of English, which is a decent score for a foreigner.

Honestly, I don't think it's SAT level. We had vocabulary-building classes in English class in HS, as prep for the SAT's, and none of that vocab was on this test. The test items weren't difficult.

Wow, what a piece of crap test this is. I think it was written by a non-native speaker, by an idiot, or as click-bait for Facebook-addled housewives without any regard for accuracy.


First question is worded exactly as follows:
------------------------------
The synonym of love is:


left


life


live


like
-----------------------------


I'm pretty sure the "correct" answer is "like" but none of these words is a synonym for "love".

I got in the top 40% but a lot of them I had to guess.

Yup. There are several questions like that, where the "correct" answer isn't an accurate synonym. I think the bit at the end, where they tell you, "WOW! You're Shakespeare!" tells us all we need to know about the minds involved in creating the test.
