How high can you go?

I can hear 18k easily, I can 'sense' 19k as a vague irritation.
20k is aurally invisible to me though, as expected.

I'm quite pleased with that, being 30 and having been in bands for half that time

Don't panic if you get a low score BTW - it could be that your speakers don't go that high (although most will reach 15k)!

what am i doing wrong, i can hear it all the way up to 25k quite easily ?

I'm guessing it's either what Dr EM said, or because the drivers in the speakers are moving, they are setting up some resonance at a lower frequency that you can hear.

Either that or Sound City has been invaded by super mutants from the future - ruuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnn!

I did this test at school a week or so ago... they have analogue wave producer, and i could hear up to about 22k on that. average adults generally hear (max) 20k

That's a great result - make sure you protect that good hearing!

ER20 ear plugs are great for loud gigs and clubs etc, especially if you're working, and still worthwhile if you're not!
