I have divided the test into 40 sets of 3 words like the original. The sets are divided
based on the commonness of the words. The first set covers the top 100 words,
the 10 first sets covers the top 1000 words and so on until all 4000 words are
covered within the 40 sets. This means that the test starts easy and gets harder
and harder. The choice of words is done at random within each 100-word-range.
How to
The way to fill out the form of the test is quite simple. There are six Thai words,
while only three of them match the English gloss or definition. You write down the
number for the word you think match the English gloss best, and continue to do
this for all 40 sets. When this is completed, you check your answers with the
correct answers at the last page and calculate your points. Each correct answer
gives one point. The maximum number of points for the whole test is thus 120
points. You then multiply your number of points with 33.3 (or multiply with 100
and divide by 3 to get an even more precise number) to get the number of words
this score amounts to. The maximum number of words known is therefore 4000.
Do not worry, the final page will show you how to calculate the score.
