Ghent University in Belgium has created an online, almost arcade-game-like test of word knowledge which is almost BS-proof. Know the word? Press J. Don’t? Press F. But don’t lie! You will be punished.

You said yes to 76% of the existing words. You said yes to 0% of the nonwords. This gives you a corrected score of 76% – 0% = 76%. This is a high level for a native speaker.
On a different test, I’m in the 75% for native speakers who took the test, but allegedly 3x the vocab of ESL speakers. which seems ridiculous.
