    I didn’t do amazingly well, but I’ve just had six beers and a couple of tequila shots…

    I think I need some improving, although, without the answers being available, I don’t know where I went wrong.

    My result:

    “You scored 93% Beginner, 93% Intermediate, 100% Advanced, and 77% Expert!
    “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!”

    Rock.

    “English Genius: You scored 100% Beginner, 93% Intermediate, 93% Advanced, and 77% Expert!”

    Not overly happy either, can do better!

    But…

    Compared to users who took the test and are and in your age group:

    * 100% had lower Beginner scores.
    * 100% had lower Intermediate scores.
    * 100% had lower Advanced scores.
    * 100% had lower Expert scores.

    My results were a bit odd… I seem to be better at the advanced stuff and be lacking at the easy…

    93, 93, 93, 83.

    Some basic mixups… interestingly, I got a few things wrong because my English usage was too strict ;)

    I have to learn to relax a bit.

    w00t!

    The answers are now up on her ‘blog. I think I missed the “criticise/critique” thing in Intermediate, and the “while” bits and “nauseous/nauseated” in Expert.
