I think it should be "Do you have a grasp..."

I think its rigged... I gots a 78 to! 
I do question their pronunciation of weather and whether being the same, they sound similar, but not the same, at least not among the people I know.

That weren't fare!
I got a 91, but my inflated ego said I should have maxed it.

81. i.e. and e.g. got me again. The "have" and "of" question, the explanation contradicts how it graded me. But since I'm working with a high school education from *gasp* over 30 years ago, I'll take it!

I'm a grammar guru, but then, I used to do this for a living. Kids, don't try this at home!

For those that did not get 100% of the questions correct, "Grammar Guru" is the title that the web page bestows upon you if you do get everything right.
Well, maybe it also calls you a "Guru" if you get a score of 98% or 99%. I do not know.
So a score of 100% and $7.50 or so will get me an over-priced and over-manipulated coffee at Starbucks. Yeah!!!! Good thing I do not drink coffee.
I just wish that my English SAT score was as good way back when...

94% also makes you a grammar guru apparently. Stupid apostrophes.

My 91% got me the GURU rating too..
I had to do a lot of technical writing for a while, and writing for school in the past, and I also worked at a print shop and had to do a whole lot of proof reading so I had to be able to have half way decent grammar..

It wasn't the apostrophes that dinged me, it was switching the whom and the who around that I failed on.
