Re: OT English test
Those are very impressive numbers for non-native speakers. There is what I believe to be a more accurate test, relying on honesty, here. It also discusses the methodology used, and feeds the results back into itself - it is part of an academic research project. http://testyourvocab.com I do better on this one than on the one Mike posted, therefore I consider this one to be definitive, professional and accurate. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m6Px53b_prc B > On 13 Jul 2016, at 12:02, Boris Liberman wrote: > > 22200 here...

Re: OT English test
Bob, just out of my never ending curiosity, I've taken the test that you indicated. I got my result at 21,400 words, which puts me just above the bottom level of native English speakers (said to be between 20,000 and 35,000 words). This is extremely fascinating.

I'm bummed that it didn't tell me how many and which ones I missed. There were two words there, one which I was supposed to match, and one that was one of the choices, that I had no idea about: avulse and fugacious. In retrospect I should have been able to parse the root of "fugue" out of fugacious. I think that the quiz should also take the time you take to answer into account. I am a lot more fugacious answering the words I know, than the ones I need to figure out by parsing their roots. 30150 I think mine was 29,000 and something. Something like 0.12% IIRC.
