I started doing the test, but all it really taught me was that there aren't nearly enough words for 'boredom'. |

34,200. But I'm fluent in three languages with a decent command of a fourth, and this only tested one. |

To tell the truth, I don't put much stock in vocab anyway. It's always good to learn new words of course, but more important still is using the right ones. |

true, the test only asked if you knew a definition for the word, not testing whether it was correct.

I also wonder about the words they chose. Usually people equate latinate vocabulary for sophisticated/edumacated, but there are just as many Anglo-Saxon and French words in the language. |

I just clicked "continue" 3 times without selecting any words, and it says I know "20 Words". That's BS...the only word I knew was "Continue"!

I got 35,100. I'm not sure I put a lot of stock into it, but it probably says something that after I was done the test I looked up some of the words I didn't know... |
