Ok - 104 out of 151. You need to get the spelling sorted out (verticle ?)
because this makes it look amateurish; and try and remove the US bias.

Have fun.

Total Test Points = 151
Points Obtained = 98
Raw Score (Percent * 10) = 649

I'm quite pleased with that, all things considered!

113 out of 151. I don't which I got wrong as you don't provide the
correct answers.

Some of the questions/answers are ambiguous. For example, and I'll
try not to give away the question here, I would say the correct answer
to the first question is "climatology", but that wasn't a choice. I
chose the last answer, which clearly isn't correct, but was less
incorrect than the other possible answers.

Thanks JPG, the spelling now seems to be cleared up. Let me know if there
is anything else amiss.

Have fun.

A fun test - and I have to admit some of those questions stumped me.

Anyway, my score was a relatively feeble 96. Time to dig out that old
weather textbook I got from eBay a few months ago, I think

I'm not a meterologist by training or by profession, neither. I just pay some
degree of attention to the conversations around me.
