elsiegee40 Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 One for the Pedantic Geeks to test themselves on: Grammar and punctuation test: take our quiz | Teacher Network | Guardian Professional No cheating allowed I got 12/14 on my first attempt (after a glass of wine.... well that's my excuse anyway!) 1
featured_spectre Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 13/14 after 8 beers and half a bottle of wine to celebrate the mrs birthday
Netwacky87 Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Did this last night... Me: 9/14 Missis: 14/14 :@ (She was so smug!) :@ lol
GeeHubb Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 12/14 for me. Disappointed, especially as I don't know which two I got wrong, but guessing it was the last two.
witch Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) 12/14 for me. Disappointed, especially as I don't know which two I got wrong, but guessing it was the last two. It tells you on the site - take it again and click on "show answers" Edited February 7, 2013 by witch
TechMonkey Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 11/14 which I'm pleased with. Got confused with my antonyms and prepositional phrases.
Ad93 Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 I got 11/14 which is pretty good to say I'm not very good at English A
HaleStorm Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 I didn't try because I know I will get a disappointing score.
sonofsanta Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Alas, only 12, got the last two wrong. Should've got 13, and guessed at 14 as I had completely forgotten. Do I have to leave the pedants group now?
witch Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Alas, only 12, got the last two wrong. Should've got 13, and guessed at 14 as I had completely forgotten. Do I have to leave the pedants group now? Nah - Still a pretty good score I reckon. Anyone under 12 should leave though! 2
X-13 Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 AWWW YEAH! 7/14 first time! I has good grammars. 1
tmcd35 Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 I didn't try because I know I will get a disappointing score. Nah - Still a pretty good score I reckon. Anyone under 12 should leave though! Yay - 10/14! Not bad for sear guess work! I has good grammars. +1 to that brother
Ad93 Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Nah - Still a pretty good score I reckon. Anyone under 12 should leave though! Ok just let me grab my coat A;)
elsiegee40 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) It tells you on the site - take it again and click on "show answers" I've tried that in both Chrome and IE and neither will show me the answers By a process of trial and error... and fortunately being pretty certain which ones were right... I have identified my incorrect answers. Questions 11 and 13 tripped me up. I didn't read question 13 properly and never would have got 11 right... I can still hear my English teacher's anger as I failed to do this at school all those years ago! Edited February 7, 2013 by elsiegee40
HarryMonkey Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 A disappointing 12/14. I got the last two wrong dammit!
ICTDirect_Dave Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 12/14 for me too. Beaten by 13 and 14... Damn you tricky quiz!!!
witch Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) Grammar.docx I got no 8 wrong: Correct answers attached Edited February 7, 2013 by witch
elsiegee40 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) Take 'em away @witch. It's not fair on those who want to do the test without cheating. Edited February 7, 2013 by witch
X-13 Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 I think I did pretty well, considering I have no [censored] clue what they're talking about.
sonofsanta Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) Take 'em away @witch. It's not fair on those who want to do the test without cheating. Put [ color="white" ] [ /color ] tags around the answers so people have to highlight to read them e.g. You can read this bit but not this bit because I hid it. (take the spaces out of the square brackets, had to write it that way to show up as code tags weren't working for me) Edited February 7, 2013 by sonofsanta
witch Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 S'ok - I've put it in an attachment Something going screwy in this today - I tried to quote a post and it edited it, I tried to post and it double posted, then posted the same thing twice in the same post 1

GrumbleDook Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 14, but it should have been 13 as I clicked on the wrong button and got a question right instead of the wrong answer I thought I was selecting (best to be honest in these things).
