Use of the word "tedious":
The best time to use the word tedious is probably when you are talking to you teacher about an assignment. You should say it if you think the assignment was too much repetition of something the class already understands, and it just seemed like pointless busy work. However, you would have to be careful because tedious is a fairly strong and opinionated word, and it could come off as offensive and disrespectful if you use it in the wrong way.

Synonyms:
The word tedious is similar to the word boring, but it is not exactly the same because tedious describes something that is an extreme kind of boring.

Antonyms:
The word tedious is basically the exact opposite of the word exciting. Something exciting is one of the farthest things away from something boring.

Rating:
I give the word tedious five stars because it is a very good describing word that you can use instead of "boring" since boring is such a common word. Also, tedious is a word that you could use in most situations and most people would understand what you were saying, it's not one of those word that no one knows what it means.
