    Default are these sentences correct?

    Are these sentences correct?

    It's much more of a freer translation (than yours).
    I still have to take the Advanced and the Proficiency ones.

    I still have to take the Advanced and the Proficiency ones. It's OK, if the person you are taking to knows what it refers to.

    #1 It's a much freer translation [than yours].
    It's much more of a free translation [than yours]. (I think this sounds a little unnatural.)

    #2 As long as you have already established what the "ones" are in a previous sentence (exams or tests, I assume) then your sentence is fine.
