I could've sworn Chroot already signed up ages ago and was the one who told me to just make up stuff on the registration. I guess I'm confused about that now.

I probably did sign up ages ago with fake information.. or perhaps I just used BugMeNot. Either way, I no longer know what fake info I used! :smile: I thought 40/40 was my score, and there was no reason to sign up at all. I guess I'll have to go make some other fake info up.

Why is there a need to make up any fake info at all? Am I the only one that is asked only for Age and Gender?

And email address, yes?

I was never forced to enter an e-mail address.

edit... I just went through the whole test again, just choosing whatever, and I scored higher on expert than I had when I actually tried :smile: Also, I was never asked for an e-mail address. Everyone does realize that they can take the test (and view the results) without entering a "screenname" right?

Yay.

English Genius
You scored 100% Beginner, 100% Intermediate, 100% Advanced, and 86% 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!

The only one I missed was this one:

33. Please stay __________
a. a while
b. awhile
c. for a while
d. All of the above

and I don't really care that all three are acceptable. I just chose (c).
