   Scored 65% with native speakers and 99.9% with non-native. Guess I can make myself understood. I didn’t even take the test that seriously, but there were some obscure words I’m sure no one uses anymore

   In portuguese those would be: compota, geleia, conservas (preserved in sugar syrup) and marmelada. I think compote and jam are the same thing.
