Vocabulary test
 
VWS stands for: Vocabulary Workshop. It's just a vocabulary book with vocab words in it. They have the definition, parts of speech, sentence, antonyms (if any) and synonyms (if any).

Test/Quiz whatever you want to call it, will always be 40 points, except for the cumulative tests (more than 40 points).

unit 1 score: 37/40 (lost 3 points on the stress marks part)
unit 2 score: 39/40 (lost 1 point on the stress marks part)
unit 3 score: probably a 38/40 my goal is to get a 100 on this test!! FAILED GOAL (I ALWAYS lose points for the stress marks part!!)
units 1-3 score: <<<I should get a 100 on this one because there's no stress marks in this.

Once I get the score, I will list it here. :)

Current grade in English: 92%

The synonyms, antonyms, sentences, correct spelling, and parts of speech parts are always easy and I always get them all right. Except for the stress marks. I always don't understand it.

If you know how a word is pronounced correctly, you can always get the accent marks right with this little rule:

If a word ends in a vowel, n or s, the spoken stress is normally on the second-to-last syllable.
If the word ends in another letter (not a vowel, n or s), the spoken stress is normally on the last syllable.

Now here is the rule-- If the spoken stress is not where it normally should be (either the last or the second-to-last syllables as stated above), then it needs a written accent mark over the vowel in the syllable where the spoken stress is.
