The Dutch test. My answers were based on English + German cognates.

Jouw resultaat
Op basis van je resultaten schatten we dat je 52% van alle Nederlandse woorden kent.

Je hebt 59% van de woorden juist herkend.

Je hebt 7% van de niet-bestaande woorden verkeerd herkend.

Dit geeft je een gecorrigeerde score van 59% - 7% = 52%.

Dit is een behoorlijk niveau voor een Nederlandssprekende

Your result
On the basis of your results, we estimate you know 89% of the English words.

You said yes to 89% of the existing words.

You said yes to 0% of the nonwords.

This gives you a corrected score of 89% - 0% = 89%.

I took this last one twice hoping to beat you but still only got 84%.. . I'ml afraid to take one of these quizzes in French if I can't even do well on my mother tongue. Some of those non words really should have been words :-p

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Very addictive and good design. I am concerned that they might not have a built-in provision for thwarting card counters though. I am tempted to take them up on the offer to try it 10 times and take an average since it appears my scores were trending upwards more than should be explainable in stochastic terms. My first technique was downright atrocious and the results not much better. At 4 AM local time, I am stopping now that I finally landed at just over 80% in my L2. If I am counting right, it took four attempts. In any event, I would be kicked out of Vegas in no time flat. Even if I weren't counting cards, I mulled about long enough to make the test-givers think I was.

It would not be appropriate for me to "congratulate" you but 84% is a very high score. Try the Italian test.

I got 77% on the Italian test. As expected, I'm not yet at Reineke's level. :)

90% on the English test.

I typed in "vocabulaire.ugent.be" and was disappointed that it didn't exist.

In order to be able to "count the cards" you should be able to recognize a sufficient number of real words. If you can, please try the Italian test. I would like to gage the cognate effect (English + Spanish).

English
On the basis of your results, we estimate you know 76% of the English words.
You said yes to 79% of the existing words.
You said yes to 3% of the nonwords.
This gives you a corrected score of 79% - 3% = 76%.
This is a high level for a native speaker.

I am looking for good, sciency vocabulary tests. Ani, don't look 'cause this one looks intimidating:

How many words do you know?

Test your receptive and productive vocabulary in different languages.

What percentage of the 5000 most frequent words have you mastered?

The vocabulary tests aim to assess participants' vocabulary knowledge on levels of 1000 words each. These levels are based on high-frequency vocabulary lists. The 5000 most frequent words of German, English, Spanish, Russian, Italian, French, Japanese, Chinese, and American English can be tested. The results indicate the corresponding reading levels of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).

After submitting all tasks the page "Test Results" will open automatically. Click on "More Details" and you will find your results.

For each item you answer correctly you are awarded one point. If you enter a wrong answer or leave a blank you are not awarded any points. For each level (1000 most frequent words, 2000 most frequent words etc.) you can reach a maximum of 30 points.

If you reach a minimum of 80%, that is 24 points or more for one level, you’ve successfully completed that level. The word lists containing the vocabulary the test is based on, have been published by Cornelsen:

Tschirner, Erwin (2008): Grund- und Aufbauwortschatz Französisch nach Themen."
