Vocab Quiz

 

This one was tough. I was surprised that I managed 12 out of 15. Good luck !!

 

Sharon

[Graeme]

I managed to get 13 out of 15, but I had to make educated guesses on some of them. Two of the guesses were wrong (one was a complete guess as I had no idea). There were 11 that I was pretty confident on the answers (and they were all right )

[Menzoberranzen]

I got them all, but I had to guess on number 8. That was very difficult, but a lot of the read-and-answer questions could be answered based on sentence structure alone.

 

Menzo

[BeaStKid]

13/15

 

Phew! Had to dig up my vocab!! quite interesting...

[colinian]

I got 13 out of 15. Both of my misses were in "Choose the word least similar in meaning to the other two words" -- I missed Reverberate/Rusticate/Relegate and Leaden/Wooden/Plastic. I was too lazy to read the sentences carefully.

 

These questions reminded me of when I took the SAT. Makes me shiver!

 

Colin

[Hylas]

I got 11/15. ugh

 

my first mistake was that I misread question number one, it had a NOT. in caps too -.- LOL. But I still have a hangover from last night so I'm not really that observant today.

 

I got 2 wrong. I was thinking 'Filiam' meant something pertaining to children (by taking 'Filial' into context) I should have known an -am suffix is quite impossible in English.

 

#9 wrong too. I had absolutely no idea what Equipoise means. Heh.

 

#11 AAAAAAAAAAH. I should've seen the root. Irene from Greek Mythology. Again I had never encountered Nugatory before.

[rec]

15/15 Thank you, Latin and French.

 

rec

[glomph]

I thought "nugatory" related to candy bars.

 

Even with some background in Latin, Greek, and French, I got just 13/15.

 

I missed the "rusticate" one even though I knew what the words meant.

 

And "filiam" looked real enough to fool me.

 

I think I had exceeded my attention span by the fourth question and didn't always read all of the questions, so I guess it's a wonder I did as well as I did.

[Razor]

...............................I don't like this quiz. I could swear I'd heard the word "filiam" SOMEWHERE before! Meh, 14 outta 15. Had no clue what tractable meant, yay guessing. I don't usually come across words I've never heard before, but damn. And I'm quite happy that some time ago when I was little I heard the word "unequivocably" and decided to look it up so I know what equivocation means, bwaha!

 

Still... it greatly annoys me that I did not believe libertine was a real word. It sounded far too much like someone decided to combine liberal and saltine.

[Matt1988]

I got 13 / 15.

Good quiz :]].

Very SATesque.

[FrenchCanadian]

I got 11/15, I guess it's not too bad for someone whose maternal's language is not english. And also, in my defense, I shouldn't have done it with music on.

 

#14 , I shoulda think a little more, well in fact I shoulda kept with my first anwser.

 

good quiz tho, I liked it.

[scoopny]

I got 12/15 but that was because someone was bugging me on IM and I rushed a few answers.

I wonder who would that be

hehe you're just jealous that I almost got as well as ya.

[scoopny]

I don't think I would have heard the end of it if you had beaten me.

[Bondwriter]

13/15. I now know that when I skin my foes, I flay them; and filiam seemed so far-fetched that it would actually exist. I'm proud to outscore Sharon, though...

[sat8997]

Blind luck, Fran

[Bondwriter]

The last part of the quizz did favor us roman language speakers with all the complex words with a latin root. And yeah, a little luck doesn't hurt.

15/15
