Test your maths and English
This should be interesting - the BBC is running English and maths tests:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4246472.stm

The English test is online this week, next week it's the maths test. Post your scores here and let's see how brainy CF is. I'll add a multi-choice poll to collect our results next week once the maths test has also been available.

For now, suffice it to say I got 20/20 at English.

edit - to correct the link

Re: Test your maths and English
i'm pretty suspicious of 19, mainly cos it's the only one i got wrong :P

i would've though an exclamation mark could've been put there instead of the comma.

19 for me - but I'm annoyed about the one I got wrong (but then again I was in the lowest set for English language at school )

Yes, but it was not incorrect with the comma instead of an exclamation mark. The lack of a hyphen was, on the other hand, incorrect.

But that was the only one that really made me pause to think!
