A professional track-changes editing assessment on authentic source passages. Measures substantive and stylistic editing accuracy against a master-edited version.
Candidates edit an authentic professional passage in a live track-changes environment — the same interface they would use in a real editorial role. The system records every change made and scores the result against a master-edited version. The score reflects how accurately and completely the candidate identified and corrected substantive errors, stylistic inconsistencies, and structural issues.
Candidates encounter passage-level editorial problems including: incorrect word choice and register, structural redundancy, inconsistent tone, factual phrasing errors, and style guide deviations. All passages are drawn from published professional texts — legal reports, academic papers, corporate communications, and trade publications.
The Editing Test is most commonly used as a final-round validation for editorial, content, and communications roles. It is also widely used as a screening tool for copyediting contractors and freelancers. The percentile ranking places each result in context — a 78% score means something different at Professional difficulty than at Standard difficulty.
