English: 100% Beginner, 86% Intermediate, 93% Advanced, 66% Expert (considering English is my main language, I should have gotten a much higher 'Expert' score) Google: didn't try

Ooo! Tests! Google: 80% accuracy and 80% speed English: 93% Beginner, 100% Intermediate, 93% Advanced, and 66% Expert Bits of the last one has me curious. For example, I thought toward/towards and while/whilst were completely dialectal with no semantic difference. Dictionary.com even seems to agree with me.

Inter-Advanced You scored 0% Beginner, 86% Intermediate, 81% Advanced, and 72% Expert! You have a good understanding of intermediate and advanced commonly confused English words, getting at least 75% of the intermediate and advanced level questions correct. The puzzling part of your test result is the fact that you only answered 75% or less correct in the beginner section. Fascinating. Thank you so much for taking my test. I hope you enjoyed it! For answers to the Beginner section only (the first ten questions), visit my blog: http://shortredhead78.blogspot.com/. I will post the answers to the other questions as soon as possible. My test tracked 4 variables. How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 99% on Beginner You scored higher than 99% on Intermediate You scored higher than 99% on Advanced You scored higher than 99% on Expert
Abuses programming errors. The difference between while and whilst is the first used in that manner is comparative, the second is contrastive.

You scored 100% Beginner, 66% Intermediate, 81% Advanced, and 72% Expert! I think that's pretty good considered that I'm only 14 and English isn't my primary language

The point of the test is to test how good you are in finding information. It is a very important skill for everyone. For Internet users, the most obvious way of testing it is how good you are at using a search engine to locate the information you want.

It seems the program that calculates the scores is broken. Observe.

However, when I checked my answers on the first twenty questions I got every one of them right. Yet I somehow scored "higher than 99%" compared to other users? This test is apparently worthless. EDIT: Fixed my coding

21% Beginner 38% Intermediate 14% Advanced 44% Expert ;P And I'm a native of the language!
A hundred years from now, they will gaze upon my work and marvel at my skills but never know my name. And that will be good enough for me.

You scored 0% Beginner, 0% Intermediate, 0% Advanced, and 72% Expert! Eh, no I didn't, you filthy lying bastard test. I know I slamdunked the first 20 questions. This is severly broken. ---- Heh, I saw now that her blog has an explanation and that the script sometimes gives 100% as 0%. That's better. I got "you scored higer than 1%" instead of 100%, unlike feitclub. Broken.

English: "You scored 100% Beginner, 86% Intermediate, 87% Advanced, and 77% Expert!" Google: "100% accuracy and 0% speed!" Although it told me I took an "undefined" amount of time to take it, so I can't say if that's any indication of anything.

86, 86, 87, 77 I'm a little confused how this scoring system works. If there's 10 questions for each section, how can the percentages be anything other than multiples of ten? On expert questions, I did better than 72% of people my age and gender. That is so true. Must be why I don't talk to many people. And these are the ones that know how to use a computer.

There can be half-correct answers.
