I think fill up is better associated with quantities and liquids as in fill up your glass.

Hi Alan

Can you give me the specific meaning of fill out? another question is the phrasal verb fill up can be use in another phrase according to its context? because I learned, that when I'm appling for a job, usually the secretary told me to fill up the application form, is that right?

Thank you

No. You can fill in or fill out a form. You can fill up your tank with gas or fill up your glass with beer or fill up your pockets with peanuts.

Fill out: write all the required information onto a form.
Fill in: write all the required information onto a form
Fill up: to fill completely; to become completely filled

Fill into and fill over are not idiomatic English; they are just false answers for the test question.

Dear Sir,

We used to say fill up a form only and we never used to say fill out a form.

Now only I learnt from you that we should say fill out a form instead of fill up.

Thank you sir, I need your valuable advise like this.

Please note the difference between 'advise' (verb) and 'advice' (noun).

I have problem with this test, it doesn't record my answers. Even when I choose right answer when I check responses it has different option checked. What is going on?
