bledd · 2 Jul 2008 at 13:52

15

got all of the 'metaphor' ones wrong, never listened in class, but my spelling is ace

never heard of taciturn and whatever the other one was

Masterdog · 2 Jul 2008 at 13:53

19, I forgot what the word for a hyphen was.

Azza · 2 Jul 2008 at 13:54

8/20

One of them didnt show up for me though, so I just had to choose one randomly. That hindered my score a lot I must say.

Maths test next week though, Ill hammer that one.

That's really easy. Just shows how stupid this country is.

Indeed.

19/20. I should have got 20 with those.

Not really, that test was insultingly basic. Even getting 20 doesn't prove you're smart.

Inquisitor · 2 Jul 2008 at 14:00

19; didn't know the meaning of taciturn

Should've been 20.

But yeah no one should be getting less than about 17 on that. It's ridiculously easy.

DB_SamX · 2 Jul 2008 at 14:00

18/20. Quite easy. I got 1 spelling (silly mistake that I should have known) and 1 vocab (never heard the word before) wrong.

fail at the internets · 2 Jul 2008 at 14:01

19/20.

Rich_L · 2 Jul 2008 at 14:01

20/20

20

Must have paid attention during English or something. Funny, I don't remember paying much attention!

Beren · 2 Jul 2008 at 14:01

17/20 - Couldn't see one question... and got a hyphen wrong. I can't remember what the other one was so hope they don't do a memory test!

If you hadn't, you would have said "must have paid...".

Gaverick · 2 Jul 2008 at 14:04

Meh I'm rubbish at English, bring on some maths/science questions.

Haircut · 2 Jul 2008 at 14:04

20.

If you get less than 17 or 18 and English is your first language you really should be ashamed of yourself.

How smart are you?
