tsuwm, I can always count on you to peak. I see that OED uses the term Indian as it really should be used. (hi, sjm) And, Kiran, if I heard someone say "My tests were advanced", I wouldn't think to ask how far; I would think that those tests were more difficult than regular tests--that they would be for the students who are more advanced than average. I'm not saying my way is better, please understand; just providing information.
