They give your the correct answers afterwards, but unfortunately don't mark the wrong answers.

Oh -- I guess this should say "SPOILER"!!






I got 40/40, but I don't understand why "floor" is any more correct than "level" in the sentence that's on the test. Anyone know?

In America too, floor is "right-er" than level.

Chrissi and Fabienne, really impressive.  My German wasn't nearly as good - 23/40.  But I was pretty pleased with my French  - 36/40.
