Daily Writing Tips Vocabulary Test 1

by Daniel Scocco

I am glad to finally release the first test on this blog, the DWT Vocabulary Test 1. The idea of creating tests and quizzes was bouncing in my head for some time already. Such resources add interactivity to the content, and they integrate perfectly with the topics we already cover routinely.

Daily Writing Tips Vocabulary Test

The vocabulary tests will be based on the “Word of the Day” category. Every 20 posts on that category a new test will be released. Feel free to post a comment below with your score.

We’ll also have spelling and grammar tests soon, so stay tuned!

  2. Ashwin on October 31, 2007 3:55 pm

  5. Robert Hruzek on October 31, 2007 4:38 pm

    Pretty funny, Daniel – a misspelled word on a word test! Bwa-ha-ha-ha!

  6. gaylec54 on October 31, 2007 4:42 pm

    95% — algorithm got me, too…. :(

  7. Eugene on October 31, 2007 5:05 pm

    100%! Damn, so I am a boring person at parties. :-p

  8. Daniel on October 31, 2007 5:18 pm

    Fixed the typo, and I spent the whole morning working on it :) .

  9. Silvia on October 31, 2007 5:21 pm

    Not too tricky–got them all correct.

  10. Biblioadonis aka George on October 31, 2007 5:23 pm

    Great test!

    I was thrilled to get 100%.

    Thanks. Love the blog and I forward the posts to my brother.

  11. Daniel on October 31, 2007 5:46 pm

    Well regular readers should be able to score 100% easily, all the words were already covered on the blog :) .

    But I’ll keep that in mind for future ones.

  12. Ray on October 31, 2007 8:07 pm

    100% here.

  13. AnneTanne on October 31, 2007 8:35 pm

    90%. Not too bad for a non-native speaker (i.e. reader… I only rarely speak English)

  14. Thomas GvL on October 31, 2007 8:58 pm

    80%… not bad :)

  15. kimberment on November 1, 2007 12:31 am

    80% i was suprised i know so much!

  16. BCL on November 1, 2007 4:36 am

    90% wow, better than I expected.

  17. Joy-Mari Cloete on November 1, 2007 7:46 am

    is 85 per cent a half decent mark if English is my second language?

  18. Felix on November 1, 2007 9:32 am

    95%

    Question 4 can be figured out logically, which makes it easy, as it is the most complex word.

    Question 17 get me.

  19. Aaron on November 1, 2007 9:42 am

    I got 90% right. There’s some sort of error on the answers page. The last question reads, “What is the most popular browser currently?”

  20. Daniel on November 1, 2007 10:00 am

    Oops, that is coming from an old test I had :) .

  21. Nothingman on November 1, 2007 10:06 am

    got 85% neat test…really liked it :)

  22. Tim Childers on November 1, 2007 10:13 am

    100%. Fantastic site and great quiz. I’ll be back for the next challenge!

  23. Sharon on November 1, 2007 12:01 pm

    I enjoyed the test – 100%

  24. Georg on November 1, 2007 12:06 pm

    This is a great idea. Without rehearsing what we learn from time to time, it just doesn’t stick. 95% here.

  25. Dave Brigman on November 1, 2007 5:45 pm

    75% :(

    I’m studying for the GRE right now, so this was perfect! Thanks for putting this up!

  26. Matthew K. Tabor on November 1, 2007 6:04 pm

    Love the idea – short, sweet and fun.

  27. cjlise on November 1, 2007 9:38 pm

    This is a Great Idea. I got 85%.

    José.

  28. Roshawn on November 2, 2007 10:41 pm

    70% :( That’s what I get for not reading DWT.

  29. Chintan on November 17, 2007 10:51 am

    got 100% .. since Barron’s word lists were fresh in my head ..

  30. Bryndel on December 16, 2007 9:12 pm

    I saw ombudsman linked on an earlier page, then came here and took this after thinking “oh, I’ll click that later.”
    Knew I should’ve clicked on it earlier, hah. I’d've gotten 100% if I had! (Then again, I managed the English on the GRE just fine–it was the math that killed me.)

  31. sleman on April 3, 2008 12:33 pm

    good

  32. hhshetty on April 8, 2008 12:59 pm

    Got 60% hoping to score better next time. Very useful exercise.

Got something to say?
