LEL #2

For my second LEL course, I took the vocabulary and spelling pratice #1. It consisted of fifty questions. Again, I didn't use the dictionnary to answer, because I am aiming to evaluate myself before working on improvement.

There was ten questions about vocabulary. I had to choose a synonym for specific words. I found that section pretty easy. Then the questions were varied from completing analogies to filling blanks in sentences. It took me half an hour to answer the fifty questions and it was mostly easy, but there was some questions wich I had to ponder a little more than usual. It was kinda interesting at first, but I soon grew bored to answer because the questions were very repetitive and some of them obsolete because the answer could be deduced from the previous question.

I scored 82%, wich for me seems alright. Finding a test easy doesn't mean it is. There was some answers that I gave that weren't the ones I was thinking about. I was a little disapointed about myself because I knew the good answer and I was just eager to finish. I did learn a few things though. For example, panacea means an absolute cure, something that could fix all disorders. I also thougth that to proscribe meant to recommend something, but in fact, it meant to forbid it. If not for those two words, I understood what the others meant, if not specifically.

I guess that kind of test would be helpful to enrich my vocabulary too, but it was a little too easy for my taste. I would give it 7/10 for this test because of that.
