You got 1 out of 10 right (10%) – You need to use your lightning bolt more before you lose it completely. If you don't use it, you lose it (or at least that's what I've heard).
-
You got 2 out of 10 right (20%) – Not to be insensitive, but it doesn't get much worse than this. Cleary, there's plenty of room for improvement. You need to use your lightning bolt more before you lose it completely. If you don't use it, you lose it (or at least that's what I've heard).

You got 4 out of 10 right (0%) – OUCH! You need to use your lightning bolt more before you lose it completely. If you don't use it, you lose it (or at least that's what I've heard).

You got 5 out of 10 right (50%) – Well, you got half of them right. The bad news is you got the other half wrong. Brush up on the big shows. There are worse ways to spend your time.
-
You got 6 right out of 10 (60%) – Not too shabby. I'll be honest, your score reminds me a lot of my high school math tests. I graduated, but just barely.
-
You got 7 right out of 10 (70%) – You're clawing your way up the mountain but need to polish your skills a bit before planting the flag at the snow-capped summit.
-
