What the Grammar Test measures

The Grammar Test uses 30 multiple-choice and true/false questions drawn from our bank of 10,000+ items. Questions are randomised per session and cover: subject-verb agreement, pronoun case, modifier placement, punctuation (commas, semicolons, apostrophes, colons), active vs passive voice, parallel structure, and commonly confused words.

Sample task types

Candidates choose the grammatically correct version of a sentence from four or five options, or indicate whether a given sentence is correct or contains an error. Questions are phrased in a variety of registers — formal, journalistic, academic, and corporate — to reflect real-world editorial contexts.

How employers use this test

The Grammar Test is the most widely used test on the platform. It serves as a domain-agnostic baseline for any role that involves writing, editing, communications, or content. Many clients use it as a first-round screen before sending longer editing or proofreading assessments to shortlisted candidates.
