Vocabulary Test: How Big Is Your Vocabulary?

About this test

A vocabulary test: see an English word and pick its meaning from four definitions. Each round draws 15 new words from the question bank, 5 everyday words, then 5 harder ones and 5 advanced words of the kind found in literature, editorials and test prep, such as obsequious, perfunctory and vicissitude. Words with similar meanings never appear as wrong answers for each other, so every question has one clearly best answer. At the end you can review every word you missed with its definition. Your score is a fun snapshot of how far your vocabulary reaches, not a formal measure of vocabulary size.
