You might think that you have a pretty good vocabulary but this quiz will reveal whether or not that is actually true. It will test you on some words you already know, or at least you think you already know, in addition to challenging you with some lesser-known words. There can be no doubt, however, that if you don’t have a strong vocabulary you are not going to do well here. On the bright side, however, if you don’t do well at least you will have learned a bunch of new words. Even better, you might realize you’ve been using certain words incorrectly all your life.
If you think you’ve got the skills it will take to do well then go ahead and give this quiz your best shot. Either you’ll find out you really do have a good vocabulary or you will learn a myriad of new words in the process.
