Ah... well, I discovered the cause of one mistake -- the person who made the test uses "nauseated" and "nauseous" interchangeably, which is equivalent to saying there's no difference between "who" and "whom."

Sure, it's accepted by the general stupid public, but that doesn't mean it's correct. :p

It scores each section separately. So for the first section you get x points out of 10, then for the next section you get x points out of 10, etc.

While I had hoped to do better I guess I should be reasonably satisfied, considering english is not my first language.

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!

For the complete Answer Key, visit my blog: http://shortredhead78.blogspot.com/.

This test would be a lot more helpful if it would show you your mistakes.
