I got 9 out of 15!
Looks like you had trouble with some of these words. No worries, this was a real tough quiz and it’s normal to miss more than a few questions. Take a break, have a coffee and try again!

15/15. Back in 1961 in my last primary school year, I had a wonderful teacher who recognised that I was way ahead in my reading and writing skills. He had a collection of Readers Digests that he lent to me a few at a time to do the word power quizzes. I have always read a lot and still do and have always used a dictionary for any word I was unfamiliar with or even a bit unsure of. I still find new words and find it helpful reading my Kindle to immediately be able to check a word instead of having to keep my big fat dictionaries and thesaurus (yes more than 1) handy, or go to my computer to look it up.
