    Since people who are not even copywriters are acing it, I'll
    not give it much stock.
    Being a copywriter you're probably more inclined to try and rationalize each headline. So perhaps in this case, the less you know the better.

    That's my excuse anyway.

      Sometimes it just seems that the lighter you look onto things, the easier you understand them - just like those what happens to too much critical thinkers who are often in the average of IQ test results for example.

    I think even if you think you're a world class copywriter there's nothing wrong with taking the quiz. See if you can do perfect ha! 2 wrong, 3 wrong is not acing it. 0 wrong is acing it!

    I think it's a good excercise for every copywriter and would like to see more quizzes like this.

    two wrong. NOT FAIR ! I had no idea that was a designer jacket brand !

    that one's kind of unfair. If the reader doesn't know that it's a designer brand,
    then line " B " would sell better I think.

    but what the heck do I know ? lol.

    fun quiz though.

      Meh, got 7 wrong ... Looks like I'll be paying people to do my writing. I am confused how this test actually holds any merit though, I wounder how many headlines they tested before they found the right one...

      I got a D- when I took this a long time ago. We even did a contest on our blog and gave away prizes. The best got only 5 or 6 wrong I do believe.

      Here let me dig it out for you...
