I decided to test my English skills today, and took 2 quick tests.

The first tests your grasp of the Queen's English, and the other tests your knowledge of easilly confused words. Here's how I did:


The Queen's English Test


The Cosmopolitan
Great Britain salutes you for scoring a staggering 82%
You have a good appreciation for what counts as real English and what does not - but you still slip up from time to time. You may not be word perfect when it comes to spelling and grammar, but at least you don't go weak-kneed at the very thought of using an "S" instead of a "Z". Your grasp of the Queen's English is certainly sufficient for you to get by in England, but don't aim for a job at Buckingham Palace just yet.
My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 63% on anglopoint

The Commonly Confused Words Test

Advanced
You scored 85% Beginner, 100% Intermediate, 86% Advanced, and 73% Expert!

You have an extremely good understanding of beginner, intermediate, and advanced level commonly confused English words, getting at least 75% of each of these three levels' questions correct. This is an exceptional score. Remember, these are commonly confused English words, which means most people don't use them properly. You got an extremely respectable score.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 5% on Beginner
You scored higher than 31% on Intermediate
You scored higher than 16% on Advanced
You scored higher than 30% on Expert
