You did so extremely well, even I can't find a word to describe your excellence! You have the uncommon intelligence necessary to understand things that most people don't. You have an extensive vocabulary, and you're not afraid to use it properly! Way to go!
Ummmm, did I mention I loved English in school?

I wish They would tell us what the correct answers were so we could better our english. none too shabby though, considering. Admittedly, I took it again to correct the ones I thought might have been wrong. Still.. better than a 22 year old usually is.

I scored 93% beginner, intermediate and advanced, and 73% expert. I am disappointed! I need to read some grammar books, the internet is eroding my grasp of proper English!

Not bad for a teenager who doesn't speak English as a first language, I presume?
