Hello! I am a native English speaker from California and I created an 18 question quiz tests English vocab, grammar and pronunciation. I was told that the test is unfair and too difficult. In fact, not even a native speaker of English can get a perfect score.
If you are a native or fluent speaker of English, could you take the quiz below and tell me what you think? Thank you

I would say the test is fairly easy, but culturally specific in Question 16 of Part III - unless you were American, you could speak excellent English and not know that Arkansas rhymes with saw.

I didn’t think it was difficult. I would be wary about the pronunciation ones though. English is a phonetic language and there are regional variances in how words are pronounced. I specialise in accent and pronunciation, and it’s a massive topic! Otherwise, it’s good! :)

Hi ned,
I am a native English speaker and although I'm not going to put all my answers on here, I will say it is not that difficult for a native speaker. Hope this helps! 🙂
