Your elementary, middle, and high-school education was probably packed with vocabulary exams. You may have done well then, but how would you perform if you took one now?

This popular English Vocabulary ​Size Test, created by ARealMe.com is sweeping Facebook. The quiz, which has been shared more than 78,000 times and liked over 51,000 times, claims to evaluate the size of your English vocabulary and where you rank compared to others. The quiz is based on academic research and online resources, according to the website.

The test requires you to answer 50 questions that ask you to choose either a synonym or an antonym for designated words. It begins with easy with questions ("What is the synonym of love?") but becomes increasingly difficult towards the end.

No matter the results, it's not necessarily an accurate representation of your intelligence or education level. But it may be an indication of how much you read, as one commenter pointed out.
