sat8997 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Vocab Quiz This one was tough. I was surprised that I managed 12 out of 15. Good luck !! Sharon Link to comment
Site Administrator Graeme Posted January 1, 2008 Site Administrator Share Posted January 1, 2008 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 ) Link to comment
Menzoberranzen Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 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 Link to comment
BeaStKid Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 13/15 Phew! Had to dig up my vocab!! quite interesting... Link to comment
colinian Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 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 Link to comment
Hylas Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 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. Link to comment
rec Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 15/15 Thank you, Latin and French. rec Link to comment
glomph Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 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. Link to comment
Razor Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 ...............................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. Link to comment
Matt1988 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I got 13 / 15. Good quiz :]]. Very SATesque. Link to comment
FrenchCanadian Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 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. Link to comment
scoopny Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I got 12/15 but that was because someone was bugging me on IM and I rushed a few answers. Link to comment
FrenchCanadian Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 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. Link to comment
scoopny Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I don't think I would have heard the end of it if you had beaten me. Link to comment
Bondwriter Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 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... Link to comment

Bondwriter Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 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. Link to comment
Howie Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 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 (well it would of been, but i misread number 14 as antonym and not synonym *g*) Link to comment
