34, 000 words(Native Speaker) witch puts me in the 90th percentile among my age group.
I filled out every thing easily till the last two columns.  I only knew around 50% of the penultimate column, and almost none of the last.

Where do you find those percentile groups? Are they made and adjusted according to the location you're in?

It says 23,000 words for me.  I did skip some where I thought I knew what it meant, but wasn't confident I could use it in a sentence.

26,300. Which is sort of disappointing to me. I guess I need to read the dictionary more.

On a side note, that test is a FANTASTIC source for wonderful words that you'll never use in a sentence but when you do people will look askance at you like, "Are you making shit up right now?"

Here is another great way to learn vocab and do charity at the same time. (The site uses the money it gets from ads to donate rice to starving people. So disable your adblock for that site.)
