I just now looked that one up to make sure it was right before I posted.
There were a couple more that Wifey and I both had never heard of, so we assumed we both missed those questions. It'd be a more useful test if they'd show you what you missed.

LOL, no I said you did "as well" as an accountant - meaning I'm the accountant. Which I said to address your comment around not knowing my credentials. Perhaps I should have said you did better.

Sorry. Apparently, grammar is pretty good. Syntax, maybe not so much.

I just took it again just to see if my score changed. It went up just slightly, but not over 30k. So apparently it does matter which questions you miss or get right. Each must have a different weight in the score.

If i was a wagering enthusiasts. I might put a nickel or two on Biorin being one of the few to best your score.

Not bad for someone who barely graduated high school. That test really is not that hard. I think they should add a timer to it. I tried to do it as fast as possible. It really needs a timer so people can't look up words. I didn't but it would have been easy to get 100%

Try it again and look up the words. I'm thinking that it might not be so easy. I think you may have to be familiar with many of those words to make the connection to the correct answer. But i suck at tests, so maybe it is easy to look them up and get zero wrong.

Yeah, a lot of the "answers" aren't explicitly correct, but if you know the context the words are typically used in you can make the connections. If you don't have much experience with the context it's a lot harder.

I love their "Your vocabulary is like that of a...." Haha.
At some point can it be like an "English Business Executive" or "a three year old Haitian immigrant child" or "a highly-trained K-9 unit German Shepherd"?
