Non-native speaker, got a score of 63% with 1 false positive, so that makes it 60%.
However, it said that it is relatively high for a non-native speaker. How did they reach this conclusion?
- larkeith 7y agoFrom their FAQ, "...a proficient native speaker will know some 40,000 words of the list (i.e., 67%) ... [for second language speakers] our estimates range from 6,000 words (10%) for a medium proficiency speaker to 20,000 words (33%) for a high-proficiency speaker." So well above their estimates, but they don't extrapolate on the source of those numbers - they might be available somewhere at http://crr.ugent.be http://crr.ugent.be
- andromeda20 7y agoAha, thanks for that data. Idk, somehow I feel second language speakers would perform better than 33% Thanks for that link too
