This is a pretty tough vocabulary test. Try me Good luck, and no cheating! I scored a disappointing 174 out of 200. The test contains a lot of really weird and wonderful and worthless words. I expect tswum will ace it. For your information: The "Wild Guess" option is a non-answer, not a coin-toss.

The beauty of having low expectations: I was delighted with my 169. I also took issue with some of the "same" pairings. I think that "similar" and "dissimilar" would have been better labels than "same" and "opposite".

OK, 179 out of 200 with 3 unanswered. So I went back and, without changing any of the ones I did answer, I answered the 3 that I didn't and boosted it up to 181. Edit: Added For your information: The "Wild Guess" option is a non-answer, not a coin-toss. Huh? Of my 15 wild guesses I got ten right.
