I took this test last week and it was around 7'000. English is my second language. I don't use it in my daily life. But I have no problems in communication, watching english movies etc.
When reading non-technical books (with technical no problems, cause their vocabulary is pretty narrow) built in dictionary is the saviour.

The funny thing about communication in english is - it does not matter how good your english is if there are around people whose english is not as good as yours. No-one understands what you mean

But I see I need to read more books to learn new words that I don't need in chitchating
