4 wrong.  85 %.   It's harder when it's multiple choice than if you just have to spell them I think.

63% - thank goodness for the spell checker!  I agree that it's probably harder to get it right when you are faced with choices that look so similar.  I think I would have done if I had been asked to write the word and then check it.

A very embarrassing 78%.  Disadvantaged by the American English questions.  I pride myself on my spelling ability.
