2nd test I got 42'001 although I suspect that the whole counting down in the corner is not so scientific

I think my vocabulary is pretty good except for words that sound Greek. I can guess a lot of Latin ones because I speak Italian...

I got 21,800

Vocab has never been my strong point and I did a science degree, which meant I was discouraged from using any "flowery" vocab - as my supervisor called it!
