Does this lower my score?

No, it doesn't. I couldn't do that to an honest man like yourself. That kind of practice with a native speaker is really good for you, too.
I admit that some of the questions were difficult. I could have asked much easier questions had the topic been the broad "Japanese culture". However, when it was narrowed down to "summer", I wasn't able to think of too many easy questions.

A couple of people answered "Cicadas" for Question #14. Cicadas are very easy to catch and they are not sold at stores because they only live a few week above the ground. (Besides that, they sing too loud to keep at home.) They are born and they grow up underground for several years. Then, they come out and climb up trees for the eclosion. After that the "adult" cicadas only live a couple of weeks for breeding.
