I've been searching in three webs which are:
1. http://www.anglolang.co.uk/cgi-bin/web_test.cgi/grammar.html
My score in this one has been 31 of 50, so I'm happy but the page recomended me to improve my vocabulary and practice it a little bit more.
2. http://www.aitech.ac.jp/~iteslj/quizzes/grammar.html
I didn't like it so much because in this page I didn't have to do the excersis, in this page it gives me the answer directly and I had to think why it were like that.
3. http://www.Burza.sk/testy
This is the page I like the most, because its decoration is very beautiful and it has the excercices I like, so like choose one answer and cheeck it. It is a mixture between the firts page and the second because you hace to choose between four options but it gives you the answer.
I've been searching it those pages but there's more pages you can look and try to find your scores. Here you have it:

HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT LANGUAGES?
In the first question they asked what is the origin of the greeting “Ciao” and I thought: “Oh, that’s interesting and funny because I say it sometimes and I don’t know it” and I knew it was an italian word but I didn’t know what was the origin.
That’s interesting too: in the fourth question they say that there’s a language in wich when they are talking about a person, they said first the surname and later the name, for exemple: Jones Peter rather than: Peter Jones.
Did you know trhough wich language was the word “paradise” introduced into Europe? It was introduced trhough the Greek derivative “paradeisos”, you may believe that because it seems like every single word comes from the Latin or Greek!
Have you ever listened to a native person critizing his own language? George Bernad Shaw said that English have no respect for their language and won’t teach their children to speak it. What a crazy comentary, don’t you think? (question 38).
Now I writte an anectotic thing, in June 1963, US President John F. Kennedy visited his ancestral home in Irland (you know this kind of people have lots of houses in every country) and when he arrived, he used three words publicly, he said: “Céad míle fáilte (a hundred thousand welcomes)”. We can see it in the fourthy-one question.
I won’t put more examples about this original page, now I’ll talk about the page, in general. I think it is an interesting quiz and it has lots of anectotic questions wich can make you laught or make you think “Oh, that’s true!”, however it isn’t a quiz to make you learn a language. You can learn a big of vocabulary, but It is not a page that would help you with your english improve. And that’s my opinion.
