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! 🙂
