60% is an F, isn't it? So it just gave me F's in Grammar and Vocabulary?  >:(

I thought I would do much better than this! It's my dog's fault. He was distracting me!  ;)

Don't feel too bad, David. I got an F for punctuation and I'm a real fanatic when it comes to punctuation! With no trouble at all, I could bore you witless for two solid hours about the correct use of an apostrophe, and that's a fact! Yet in this test I only got 60% for punctuation! Humph, must be something to do with "American" punctuation as opposed to "English" punctuation! I don't even have a dog I can blame!    :-\   ;)   :laugh:

Don't worry about it Min. It appears nearly all of us got a bad grade on this test.

So join the club! :D

Kerry how could you? I was going to blame my results on it being US based test and that if it was in Australisian I would have got 100% (yeah right), but your results have just shot down my excuse theory down in flames ::)
