English Genius
You scored 93% Beginner, 93% Intermediate, 93% 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!

93% seems a common figure for beginner scores, myself included. Does anybody else wonder which question(s) in the beginner level they stuffed up?

@ Xand... (and all the 99%)

LOL

Yours is the same as mine...and I suspect you are in my age group (I'm 33) because when I did mine it told me 100% of those in my age group scored lower than me...but I did the test before you. He he, its all about timing mate  :-P


I did the test before you and I'm 30. Actually I guess that depends exactly where they drew the line for each group.

plus, it takes alot of work to be bulky. unless you are going to be a movie star, don't bother.

it's better to be healthy. and slim is healthier than not slim.


I'm quite content to have emerged this side of 30 without what we affecionately call a 'keg' (beer barrel). I'm about 140lbs/5'7" (63kg/1.7m) and content that the ratio isn't a lot higher :-)

I recently decided I needed to get a bit fitter though and stopped taking the lift (well mostly), which amounts to yomping up and down 26 flights of stairs every day...

It's even better served with a GadgetMaster special salad ;-)

One of the few times a salad will burn your mouth out :lol:

As a wee bairn I'd sometimes watch these various medical/forensic programmes on TV whilst eating. Things like "The body in question" and "Your life in their hands" etc., all of which were reasonably graphic.

I'd remember the folks having pretty adverse reaction to seeing someones innards being poked about when trying to eat something. Not that we dined in front of the TV of course, I mean snacking :-)
