You scored 93% Beginner, 93% Intermediate, 100% Advanced, and 80% 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!

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

Hopefully I'm not the only one who still remembers how to speak English properly.

100%

Uhm....dude this is like grammar school crap.

100% in all.

Gotta love ATOT. Where everyone claims to get 100% yet most people here don't even know the difference between there, their and they're.

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.

Guess I'm not 1337 like the rest of ATOT.

My answer was honest.

I could have majored in English easily.

I constantly find errors in newspapers and magazines, etc. I could have easily been an editor.

I may not be able to diagram complex sentences any longer, but common spelling and word usage is trivial.

I mean seriously. There, their and they're? Who COULDN'T tell these apart? But then I see posts with them horridly wrong all the time, so I guess our system of education is failing the younger generation. At least I went to a school that gave a damn about the kids and had parents who wouldn't let me screw around.

"You scored 100% Beginner, 100% Intermediate, 93% Advanced, and 87% Expert!"

Granted, I looked up "awhile", "payed" (because I knew it was a word, but it didn't work in this case), and "hanged." I would've missed the "payed" question if I hadn't cheated.

Did everyone have to sign up?

I hate it when people take all the asdf/qwertyuiop fake names.

I got 100/100/100/93, which was higher than I expected. I expected 2-4 wrong since I wasn't sure on a few. I wish it gave you your selected answers versus actual answers. For one I wasn't sure about compliment/complement.

The scores of your peers at the end seem unusually high. There are tons and tons of people who would have trouble with even the basic ones like their/they're/there, to/too/two, etc.. Mostly all ages I'd say too.

Oh yeah, wasn't there 40 questions? How is the % calculated then? Oh yeah, the awhile one I wasn't sure about, I put All of the Above.
