>>225292337
You're doing it too literally, of course you're not gonna know the exact definition of every word. A lot of these you should already know just through inferencing.
>Rivet
Rivet city from Fallout 3, so something to do with steel and welding. Nuts and bolts shit, yeah I know that. Someone says point to the rivet, I point at the circular steel thingy. I know it.
>Paymaster
Someone who oversees payment.
>Marquess
Sounds French, probably some hoity toity fag noble shit.
>Megafauna
Mega + fauna, nigga how did you miss this?
>Topicality
I know what topic means, a suffix isn't gonna change the definition that much. I know it.
>Frontality
Same deal.
>Obituarist
Same deal.
>Dolphinfish
A fish is a fish my nigga, you and I know this word.
>Autocritique
Auto + critique, auto just means self.
>Tunesmith
Someone motherfucker that tunes, probably some music shit.

Boom, that's ten extra words you already know but didn't select.

A lot of these are just very specific chemistry/biology terms and don't really represent your English knowledge as much as your profession.

That's exactly what I was thinking. How would knowing what some very specific hammer used in some random ass field represent English proficiency? But then again, I guess the site never claimed that. It's just about how many words you know.

You must have had a sheltered upbringing if you don't know the word "rivet".

necessitarianism is a philosophical concept.

First try. I'm an ESL speaker, and I'm not even from Spain. I'm from Argentina. I have done professional tests before to check my English level and it's C2, yet I feel a bit sad I didn't know some of the words presented, just went with the ones I know, even if I haven't seen them used too much in any regular conversation.

I've been playing games and consuming media like documentaries and movies and videos in english growing up, mostly cause in spanish I felt I couldn't find that specific content I was looking for.
I remember the online games I liked growing up being all in english and untranslated, so I kinda rawdogged myself into learning how english works by assimilation. I think all languages can be learned faster if you constantly use whichever one you're learning with someone else who is at least at native level, or just very high.
Might be a reddit moment but ZeFrank's comedy-documentary videos were great for me as a teen.

>So some of the words in the test do not exist. They were built to look and sound like English — pronounceable, plausibly spelled, sitting at a believable level of obscurity — and then checked against several dictionaries to make sure they are not real, not misspellings of anything real, and not a real word with a prefix bolted on. They are scattered through all three rounds with nothing to mark them out.
