You scored 93% Beginner, 86% Intermediate, 81% Advanced, and 55% Expert!
You have an extremely good understanding of beginner, intermediate, and advanced level commonly confused English words, getting at least 75% of each of these three levels' questions correct. This is an exceptional score. Remember, these are commonly confused English words, which means most people don't use them properly. You got an extremely respectable score.

@ Tahoe (edit: add Odin here too)

Your score is more impressive (especially the 87% advanced) because you are Dutch.
I couldn't really make a similar statement about me being South African because English has always been one of the official languages there. It also helps that written documents in hospitals are subject to intense scrutiny which makes a guy very careful with his "Ingleeeesh"

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!
:oops:
can't use the foreigner excuse anymore....

The one thing the test does seem to illustrate is that the literacy level of the English language is falling with each passing generation.
