I'm german - ignoring words I know but couldn't immediately place properly (raggamuffin for example) I got 19000.
My english comes mostly from watching movies and tv series long after I graduated, reading novels, articles, handbooks and later by chatting in english.
Due to movies and tv series, I adopted an us-american flavor of english.
Also keep in mind that this test didn't ask for domain specific vocabulary - if they would have made a section of computer related vocabulary, we probably would have all scored perfectly. :)
- VMG 15y ago24yo german with 19k here also. I'm not so sure if vocabulary size beyond a certain level is really that significant. I got the feeling that that I could improve my score the most by thoroughly reading a 18th century novel.
