>>22660007
Esl though

>>22660007
Note, the score is not calculated like an IQ test where 100 is average. I scored in the 96th percentile.

I got one free question wrong cause I cba to read the prompt so it's actually higher than this.

>>22660007
is it over

>>22660007
I got 116 too. The last one is misplaced modifier because the king wasn’t the one wearing a dress.
>>22660079
Any litizen posting here should’ve gotten higher than that. Lmao

:(

>>22660072
Most ESLs who post here have a better grasp of english than the average american.

>>22660113
>muh score
Kys, autistic piece of shit.

test is for babbies and ESLs tho

>>22660126
don't listen to him anon. you got a pretty good score for an ESL

>>22660113
>The last one is misplaced modifier because the king wasn’t the one wearing a dress
This is painfully obvious to anyone who just understands what words mean. I got that right and I don't believe in nor have I ever studied prescriptive grammar. Knowledge of word definitions and the most basic capabilities of logic make this test free.

>>22660129
>ESL
It's 96th percentile..slit your fucking throat, you smug pompous jackass. I hope all your kids die from disease and niggers.

>>22660133
Yeah, same. That is the only question I wouldn’t give people on this board shit for missing and also I have no idea how to screenshot on this new phone so I wanted to prove I actually completed it.

>>22660102
Yes

>>22660134
what if I told you that these tests were designed so that most people get scores that they wouldn't be embarrassed to share?

>>22660162
What if I told you that you're an autistic faggot?
My score was most likely 100. I am tired. Some of them I just clicked by accident while lying down with my phone.

>>22660122
>*guts theme playing*

>>22660134
Wait, are you not actually an ESL?

This test is way too easy even for ESLs like me.
If a well-read, educated native gets 100 points on an English test, I should be somewhere around 70.

>>22660179
Sure you did sweaty

>>22660219
>Sure you did sweaty
It should be, "Sure you did, sweety."*

>>22660179
Why are you coping this hard about a dumb test made for ESLs

Fuck this test, what was your english SAT score?

>>22660251
I am the greatest intellectual on this shithole of a site. An arbitrary metric from a superficial test like this means absolutely nothing.

>>22660244
good job. Now see if you can't spot the problem with OP's post and you'll be well on your way to sounding like a native speaker.

>>22660257
It very clearly means an awful lot to you

Nah, it should be at least 3 points higher since I was going too quick and didn't read that they wanted me to click on the incorrect sentence instead of the corrects ones.

>>22660212
This anon here. The vocab test is much more difficult. Do that.

>>22660266
Impressive. Very nice.

>>22660007
That felt so easy and I still messed up some answers apparently! I'm an ESL btw

Damn, ESL turned EFL here. My spanish has been vitiated since adolescence, but I regret nothing because language does not hold any intrinsic meaning to me.

>>22660072
Same here. This is in part why I laugh at americans calling themselves ESL's.

>>22660007
Ah yes…another online test where every /lit/ anon takes the test scores in the top 1% percentile…

>>22660318
Post a hard one then

>>22660007

i was in special ed in high school
if you get lower than this you are more retarded than i am

>>22660260
>Let's see if /lit/ really knows it's stuff.

It should be its and not it's.
I bet most of the morons who received a high score didn't notice that.

>>22660342
What the fuck is a pule lmao
I'll admit there were plenty of words i hadn't ever heard before there

ESL but this isn't surprising considering I don't much care for most media (including internet) in my native language and usually got top grades in the English lessons back in school, only surpassed by the theater kid who could talk in (as I perceived it) flawless British English without any hint of a German accent.

Only didnt know the last question

>is going to be
>will be

aren't these both correct? am i a dumbfuck?

>>22660286
Too easy for a /lit/izen such as myself

is "i dont know" the right answer on that "i didn't use to" one? i didn't think any of the answers were correct so i picked it and got a 108. also, that one question quizzing people on what terms mean is retarded, nice professional test.

>>22660424
"I don't know" is the skip option for al of them

>>22660403
there's a difference there, something to do with certainty iirc.
colloquially you could of course get away with saying either

>>22660424
it's i didn't used to*

"use to" is incorect

>>22660433
which one is correct?

>>22660007
ESL btw. The last question was confusing lol

>>22660463
nigga how did you get 120

>>22660463
the last question was the easiest
The answer was misplaced modifier

>>22660454
going to

Ebin ELS :DDDD

I wasn't sure about the last Queen and her dress question. I think I knew what was wrong with it but I wasn't sure what the English term for it was.

...It wasn't a gotcha question, right...?

i got a 120 the 2nd time. i misread the questions the first time

>>22660472
nta but it's been years since I did English in high school and I have forgotten all those technical terms

>>22660474
Kys. Will be is better.

Not bad for a college dropout, if I do say so myself.

>>22660483
I was just answering to which one is considered correct for the purposes of the test. I think they're both fine.

>>22660472
Honestly, I know how the language works (for the most part) but sometimes I forget terms like "modifier" or "subjunctive".

>>22660007
I got a 96. It's pretty good since I consider myself horrible at grammar

>>22660007
My daughters wouldnt shut the fuck up so I just closed the fucking thing. I’m sure i’m a fucking retard by now, they’ve taken it all from me.

Oh no

>>22660342
These tests are retarded because you select which words you know the definition of without having to prove you known the definition. There's no burden of proof. Most of you probably lie and count words you've SEEN but don't actually know the definition.

>>22660007
not too bad, pretty the last question was the only one I didn't get

There are only three grades you can get on this test:
>Human (116)
>ESL (any if you are ESL)
>Nigger (anything other than 116 if not ESL)

>>22660549
I prefer vocab tests to be in the form of "which word is most similar to x"

>>22660573
I got a 116 but I wouldn't really call someone a nigger for missing the last question.

>>22660622
Even if you don't know the grammar terms it's still obvious

<112
retard
>112
no sovl

>>22660007
Anybody who scored below 112 should be barred from participating in this board.

>>22660727
I support our ESL retard posters, it's not their fault

I scored 100. I considers my self grammatically retarded. Make of that what you will.

>>22660573
But anon, the max score is 120 so you failed one.

>>22660255
It was 99.7% nationwide.

>>22660318
But they didn’t. 116 is a perfect score and most itt didn’t get 116.

>>22660480
>116 is a perfect score
It is not.
>>22660848
/lit/ filtered by not just grammar but maths as well...

>>22660414
Right in the middle of ya'll

120 is the highest you can get
if you get 116 you got a question wrong

each question seems to be worth 4 points

4 times 30 is 120

this is how you get a score of 120 on this bitch

>>22660072
Same
Lost on the one asking what’s wrong with the sentence, and the options were ‘dangling participle’, something subjunctive and missing noun, I think.

Did pretty well, all things considered.

104 most of the questions were easy as fuck, but why doesn't it tell you what you got wrong

>>22661603
ok, I watched anon's webm
Couldn't the "His remarks were ___ annoy everybody at the meeting" be "so as to," implying intentions?
Two of the red-colored negative questions I misread lol
And I got the "didn't use to" one incorrect.

>>22661582

Y’all need to find better use of your time than taking online tests made to flatter the participants

if i had just guessed i would have at least gotten a few right*

damn my english sucks

>>22660007
108, not bad.

>>22660100
Same as me then, ESL bro. Honestly, I barely know what a "subjective" and all those grammar nonsense words mean in my native tongue so I just went "I don't know" on the last question.

>>22661582
>>22661582
There’s no way that’s right. I got 112 and you’re telling me “the match got cancelled because the rain” is correct over “the match got cancelled because of the rain”? That’s retarded. Why is the of incorrect?

>>22663866
I saw that it was said not correct. Speedreader fuck

>>22661582
I don't get the James question. Can you refer to a person in the third person while talking to them?

>>22660007
This felt like a test for ESLs.

Is this a trick question?

>>22663982
Look where the apostrophe is

>>22663985
But what if the sister is a slut

>>22660007
How are options 1 and 2 not both correct?

>>22664011
I see you don’t know the difference between sister’s and sisters’. Carry on then

YARE YARE

>>22664281
It will be nice today -> implies a more certainty about the future than "it is going to be nice today", which is less certain.

It's the same in Spanish and other languages to. "Voy a comer" vs "comeré".

>>22664888
"It is going to be nice today" sounds pretty certain to me. I think option 2 "sounds" better, but they're both grammatically correct as far as I can tell.

>>22661583
I remember in high school I would write and speak English better than the other students but once the grammatical terms were introduced I had no idea what any of them meant

Shieeet, i’m bussin fr.

>>22664281
I'm not an ESL and I was also confused by this one. I would use 'going to be' in casual conversation but 'will' works fine too. Neither seem to violate any rule

>>22663583
>on purpose
yeah, sure ;)))

>>22664888
I don't think the difference is in terms of certainty. I read it more like this:
"It will be nice today."
>I am letting you know a fact: Today will be nice.
"It's going to be nice today."
>I am relating something to you more casually and "socially": It's gonna be nice today.

The first is more "declarative," less "relational," if that makes sense. Like the information isn't being casually given in smalltalk but is at least slightly important or desired by the listening party.

>>22664888
Checked

I got 116. Is that a perfect score?

>>22666838
One question off

>>22660286
116 on the grammar test

104, esl though

>>22666865

anon, you do read... right?

116 on grammar
29450 on vocabulary

give me something hard

>>22661582
Cabbage one is brutal, the usage of the verb "use" there is not unfamiliar at all to anyone who's read older English stuff, and it makes sense when you actually think about it, since "didn't used" is grammatically equivalent to "didn't went", but colloquially it feels totally wrong - like I would think if someone intended to say "use" there instead of "used", they would pronounce it "yooze" instead of "yooce" (the "d" blending with the "t" in "to"), and I don't think I've ever heard that. If I saw it in writing I probably just assumed it was wrong the way option C is and it sounded goofy and retarded to me.

>>22666830
Yeah this is how I took it, just going off of what one would actually hear, but it's stupid to put something like this on a "grammar test".

>>22666911
Ok what the FUCK?? The only word I didn't know on this was "avulse" and I looked it up afterward and found out that I guessed right, and yet somehow I get 30145? Rigged Jewish test wtf.

>>22661864
/thread

>>22660007
The last question was the only one that should have been even remotely difficult for a native speaker. Even then, the difficulty is in knowing the right terminology to describe what's wrong rather than recognizing which part of the sentence is incorrect.

Your test sucks.

>>22663779
I'm not ESL the idea that my score would be ESL-tier is the joke lmfaoing @ u fr rn

>>22660007
I got 104. To be fair i'm an esl and i was listening to audioporn at the same time

>>22661583
It was misplaced modifier because the sentence was written in such a way to make it seem like the king was wearing a dress.

>>22666944
If that was a serious investment of time for you then it's you who needs help. I took it in between chapters of Aristotle.

>>22660007
ESL

this is highschool level.

>>22663866
you didn't read the red text underneath

it stays to choose the one that is incorrect(not the one that is correct)

>>22667657
it says to choose*

>>22661583
"in a dress adorned with hand-sewn embroidered"

you don't whether this is describing the king or the queen

it could mean that the king is in a dress adorned with hand-sewn embroidered flowers. it's not clear.

that's why it's a misplaced modifier

>>22661583
"in a dress adorned with hand-sewn embroidered"

you don't know whether this is describing the king or the queen

it could mean that the king is in a dress adorned with hand-sewn embroidered flowers. it's not clear.

that's why it's a misplaced modifier

i think the misplaced modifier question was the easiest question
i don't know how you could have gotten a score of 110 and got that question wrong

https://www.grammarly.com/blog/misplaced-modifiers/

>>22660007
Are you guys serious? Im an ESL and im maxxed out.

>>22667721
The test questions are mostly shit you couldn't get wrong unless you are quite literally an immigrant who only speaks broken English. It's not much of a brag.

>>22667736
Oh im not bragging just laughing at any burger who gets less then 116. The only hard one was the Queen question.

>>22660283
>It should be higher because i was too stupid to be able to read the question

>112
Not bad for an ESL?

I got all of them except the last one it seems (112). I don't even know what a subjunctive and shit is. Is this what ESLoids learn in school? I just speak the language I don't know the actual terminology

>>22660007
>https://www.arealme.com/online-english-grammar-test/en/

I just read the sentences in my mind and chose answers that seemed right

>>22660007
Waste of time Esl quiz. Dont bother taking

>>22660113
LMAO NO IT WAS ABOUT THE POSITIONING OF THE WORD "EMBROIDERED" YOU STUPID FUCKING NIGGER I HATE THIS BOARD

this is clearly for retards but as a non native speaker i actually feel a bit proud

>120 esl
yeah but you studied i got 104 and only barely practiced

y'all have done what was told to be done all through school and college

>muhh i'm 120 esl

>>22660342
I’m not finishing this test, it’s satanic

>>22660496
I actually think “will be” is correct. “Going to” specifically refers to planned activities. “Will be” can extend to predictions, “going to” is for planned actions that a human is going to enact.

>>22660079
I retook the test more seriously and earned a 100.
>>22661582

I got all of the questions correct except three.

I missed the two identical meaning ones, the ones about James being lazy and Paul driving two fast, but I think those are retarded questions. Meaning is parsed differently in the brain than grammar. I don't accept the validity of those two questions.

I only got one grammar question wrong:

1. "The match was cancelled __ the rain."

I chose "because of" because it sounded more natural. Why is "because" the right answer? This is the only question I feel bad for getting wrong.

Three wrong questions knocked my score down to 100. I got 96 before because I chose "dangling modifier" instead of "misplaced modifier", which I realized is correct after a little bit more reflection.

Technically, I only accept one question as truly wrong. I am not ESL, and all of you smug and pompous jackasses can neck yourselves.

>>22660007

>>22660007
>it's
The test is obviously useless. Your score should be a lot lower if you made this error.

>>22660072
104, ESL too
The last one was such bullshit

This was pretty basic, and then I suddenly got thrown a very technical question at the end that I honestly couldn't answer cause I didn't know the technical name for the error in the sentence, only that it was definitely not correct grammar.

>>22660286
I wouldn't really call that difficult.

Score is 112, ESL. I purposely write with shit grammar on here webshite from time to time thoughhever.

>>22669958
>I chose "because of" because it sounded more natural. Why is "because" the right answer? This is the only question I feel bad for getting wrong.

you were supposed to choose the incorrect answer(not the correct one)
you didn't read the red text

everyone is getting a top .001% score. is that accurate?

>>22669600
This. Other anons are retarded. The king is obviously not the one wearing a dress as he isn't a troon (nor the subject of the previous clause).

>The Queen arrived at the castle with the King by her side, in a dress adorned with hand-sewn embroidered flowers.

This sentence will always refer to the previous subject even if you'd swap the king with the queen. Rather look at the placement of 'embroidered' and compare it to 'adorned.'

Btw English is my third language you absolute anglo retards.

>>22660007
>he is thin
>answer "I don't know" because I have no idea about the size of this mystery man

>>22660007
Got 108 because of that faggotry at the end; I don't know grammar jargon, just how to use it. Anyway this test is a complete waste of time! It usually just had words missing, nothing very subtle or comprehensive. Why do /lit/ and /sci/ keep doing these faggy tests anyway?

>>22672605
>answer "I don't know" for which phrase is wrong in "The match is cancelled ______ rain" since "because rain" is still more correct than "I don't know rain"

>>22667689
I've seen stuff like this before and never realized it was a problem as it's always obvious as to who it's referring to.

>>22660244
I can't tell if you are being sarcastic

112 ETL though (English third language).

>>22660007
>104
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaait the sentence about "this is my sister's bedroom" how many people live in this bedroom made me confused for a second since I used logic. Just because it's her bedroom doesn't mean there's a set number of people living there. I didn't know the "I don't know" answer was there for every questions
plus I had this in the background during the test

>>22660007
I got 116 despite being an ESL.

if you get anything less than this you are a brainlet

>>22681251
no no you misunderstood anon

it was " sisters' "

note the apostrophe. in order for a plural noun like sisters (or any noun that ends in S) to take possession of another noun the apostrophe goes after the lasts

The existence of the s' implies there is more than one sister

>>22660072

>last one is so difficult
No it's not. You're just scared by the jargon. You can easily identify the correct one by understanding that the clause about garments is misplaced and figure it out. Geez I thought this board was high-IQ.

>>22660007
it's over

>>22660007
English third language sir

I'm by no means a smart person, and English is my second language. If you score lower than this you might be retarded.

English is my second language and I remember jack shit from my English classes. What the actual fuck is this quiz? It's as if it were made to stroke the egos of English-midlings.

>>22661626
ESL here so I might be wrong, but I thought up some example sentences during that question and I believe "so as to" requires a verb before it
So if the sentence was something like "His remarks were made so as to annoy everybody at the meeting" it would be valid

hundo baybee! there were two questions i didn't know at all but everything else was obvious..

When you learn in school you tend to speak more formally than most natives. I get made fun of for speaking proper Spanish to Spanish speakers.
