You scored 80% Beginner, 73% Intermediate, 81% Advanced, and 61% Expert!

You have a good understanding of beginner and advanced commonly confused English words, getting at least 75% of the beginner and advanced level questions correct. You didn't get as many of the intermediate level questions correct, but don't fret. This is not a bad score at all. Remember, these are commonly confused English words, which means most people don't use them properly anyway. You got a respectable score.

A lot better than I had thought I would have done. Wish my English skills were up to par as my math and other scores on SAT and ACTs.

You scored higher than 99% on Beginner
You scored higher than 99% on Intermediate
You scored higher than 99% on Advanced
You scored higher than 99% on Expert

I didn't look to see what the answers were but I bet the errors were on answers that could have been both options. Those type are lame.

Didn't do that for me. You could obviously say my score was better than yours, but I was getting a lot of numbers below 99%. If you get a 100 it doesn't say you scored "better than" everyone else that scored 100. It counts as the same. At 100% Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced and 88 Expert I remember it was something like 72/73/91/92.

So sounds like on average, the older the people are, the higher the average score in these tests.

This score does not reflect an inability to converse intelligibly, but it does, however, reflect your inability to determine the proper spelling and/or uses of many commonly confused words of the English language. There is no reason to feel bad though. They are commonly confused, so you're not the only one!

Not too sure what this means but it is time for my medication

No - if I scored more than 65% of people my age, that means that 35% of the people my age got 100% as well. Even 99% is less than 100%.

Ahhh, k. Its stll impossible to compare to other age categories though unless we had factual data. The only thing you can conclude though is that people your age had a higher ratio of 100%.

The average is still a mystery though.
