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!

Thank you so much for taking my test. I hope you enjoyed it!

That was really easy... you just have to make sure you remember all your grammar rules.

Looking over the answers though, I don't know what I did wrong in the Advanced section. 😕
Too bad it doesn't tell you what you answered.

Expert: Further vs farther. I had no idea on that one. That looks like it was the only one I lost points on in this section.




 
93/100/100/93

I missed the hanged one because I thought maybe both had become acceptable over time (though I knew hanged was most appropriate). Not sure what I missed on the easy part, I must have breezed through it too fast.

I'm thinking I misspelled a word somewhere, or I missed one of those both a and b responses. Or something.

Welcome to the internet.

If I was writing a thesis, I would pay a bit closer attention. Regardless, I bet my posts are written much better than most average posts. I would venture to guess that my posts are written better than the papers written by many children in school these days. That's the sad thing.
