Two of the words were pretty obscure ones that i had never heard before but the other ones were fairly easy for me

The important thing is that you rank #7 and are in the top 10%!

I had trouble with 2 words, otherwise easy. You’ve got 10/10 correct!

This reminds me of Tom Jennings’ ToiletCam from the mid nineties, when the web was young and people trusted it. He claimed that it would upload a new image every minute, but it was just a photo of a toilet.

tl;dr I am also number 7.

I just don’t understand?

ETA: As it seems some didn’t get it, I got no ranking whatsoever.

I tried some of the other tests, no matter how well or bad I did I still ranked #7.

Admit it; all too easy for BBers. I ended up with 3900 10/10. I suspect that to score 4200, one would have to answer within a split second.

Welp, not in the Seven Club.
Didn’t do it soon enough, I guess.

All my assumptions about the universe now lie shattered around me.

Hm, I was #7 too, and that’s funny.
The time factor is important (annoying), and having a Latin-derived first language seems advantageous, as many words looked plenty latinate to me.
Or maybe that’s just me being solecistic.

I got (essenatially) the same score as you: 3280 (9/10). My mistake was a subtle difference that I missed (and I might argue with).
But I was also ranked #7 and in the top 10%

Or maybe that ranking is a 7 factorial, which would mean that we’re all really ranked #5040.
