Test The Nation: English

[|Laguna|]

Test The Nation is on the BBC1 now. It's testing your English this time.
If you want to play along you can print a scorecard from here
http://www.bbc.co.uk/testthenation/scorecard.shtml
Should be better than more pointless ones they did previously like who knows the most about 2004.

[Konfucius]

A disappointing 37/70 - that damn time limit, otherwise I would have had time to look the words up in the dictionary :D

[Blackfox]

I will be interested in Saturday night television when the BBC try and come up with a new and entertaining concept rather than a glorified spelling test.

[kyletherobot]

yeah i know what you mean, the first thirty times this may have been slightly interesting, but alas, no more is it entertaining.

[Athriller]

If this show had more naked women, explosions or zombies, it would rekindle my interest. Alas, it lacks all qualities which make the world go round.

[Eenuh]

40/70
"Not a bad score at all!", according to them. If they say so. ='3

Darn time limit though; makes me stressy so I make more mistakes. Ah well.

[soag]

32 out of 70 fuck im dumb :p

[Blackfox]

32 out of 70 fuck im dumb :p

Hehe, a person from Belgium beat you :P

[Rolf]

I got 40 as well. A person from Norfolk Island beat you.

'Where?' they all chant, as one.

[Android18a]

I got 40 too. I couldn't hear the audio ones very well.

[killer kirby]

i got 38 would have gotten 39 or 40 if it wasn't for those damn pop up's God i hate those pop ups.

[Peachie]

42/70. I rock. =D

[Surrealist]

50/70

Oh Yeah!

Pissed off I only got 8/14 for Language though...

[Arragaun]

I managed 45/70...

[Blackfox]

48/70.

Some of them were impossible. I would have also like to have seen the correct answer to some of them instantly.

EDIT:

I was above average for where i live, and of a similar standard to surgeons ;)

And i should really get back to my biology essay :/

[Peachie]

Gutted ;_; I thought 42 was good.

[link64uk]

i got 46 not too bad i guess

[Cube]

i did it clicking random things.

31/70.

[The Peeps]

I got 44/70

Not too bad, it matches the National Average and I'm only 17 so I'm happy with it.

[Raining_again]

38/70 wahey i did shite :(

[RoadKill]

I got fucking bored.

[dukkadukka]

40/70 for me, i must admit i'm a little disappointed :(

offerman, how did you do?

[mario114]

35, and thats why i got a D in english for my as. -lol, i hate english.

[RoadKill]

I love English, and I love to point out mistakes, it's one of my buttons.

However I couldn't find it in myself to complete this test, it was too lame.

I got a C at GCSE level for Language and Literature, however I missed an entire test, and half (54 marks, I think) of another, so yeah, I'm not too bad.

[Bluejay]

44 for me. It was kinda dull but I was a friends house and his family were doing it so I felt inclined to too. Strangely he got 44 too and we didnt discuss answers or anything.
