How good is your English?

Post by poehalcho »

correct awnser is 10 points, every wrong awnser takes away 5.
I got only 100 points on my first go :(

edit: got to 195 now, am getting the idea that some transalations aren't quite correct...
(suffer = to let somebody do something?)

edit2: 310 now

You completely missed what I was pointing out didn't you. Yes, "Loose" and "Lose" are different words, however read what they said, and then choose which one you think is correct. Then read what I said.

Gonna do this later tonight, though I think grammar is more important than vocabulary.

true, but it's a large vocabulary that makes you seem intelligent to others...
it's that flashy words that do it :(

Question for ya poehalcho, I looked myself and couldn't find it. Is this UK English or US English? I noticed a few of the definitions pointed directly to it being US English, however I also saw a few words I had never encountered, through any of my courses (AP and otherwise).

Reason I ask is this may make it more difficult for some and less difficult for others.

I'm not really sure either, going by the weirdness of some words I'm tempted to say it's british. the official site seems...too official to be from the US as well...

but tbh, it's probably mixed.

After two times playing I already notice the game isn't composed of a whole lot of words so it's kind of pointless to keep playing and to brag about your scores, poehalco.
I got an A for my certificate in advanced english from the Cambridge university, but I'm afraid I stranded at a meager 100 points here.
I think I knew quite a lot of words, it just took me too long to decide which one to pick. I suppose speed is pretty important.
I guess I'll just have to settle with being able to speak and write English up to a level where people can understand me well.

Putting speed on this is stupid, as the multiple choice options are too long, it should have been the other way around, in which they put the definition then you select the words.
