Just took two online tests to check my level (I can't resist doing this sort of thing from time to time).
The German test told me I got 142/150 questions right, giving me a score of 95% or "Intermediate." On the French test, I got 136/150 and 91%, which is also listed as "Intermediate." I wish they had more specific terms than "Intermediate," but overall I'm satisfied. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I've taken these tests before and gotten nearly perfect scores (for Spanish or Portuguese I think) but I also got "Intermediate." I think that that is the highest level that they give you, because afterwards I went back to change my incorrect answers to see what it would have awarded me had I gotten a perfect score and it still said "Intermediate." A bit annoying, in my opinion... 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

gosh darn.......... heck! lol, I got only 86 out of the 150 questions, and therefore a beginner as I suspected. After 7
months of fairly hard studying that is a little nerve racking, but I will study even harder. Funny enough, my grammar sucks (real bad) but my reading comprehension was flawless, and my vocabulary was almost as good. I guess that's the price for not focusing on grammar and relying mostly on just "feeling" the language out while reading and not paying attention to the cases and all that. Since my comprehension is good, I will focus on grammar intensely. thanks for the link to that site, now I know what I need to work on :D 1 person has voted this message useful |
