What the Proofreading Test measures

Candidates proofread a passage containing deliberately embedded mechanical errors — spelling mistakes, punctuation errors, incorrect homophones, and consistency issues. The test measures accuracy and attention to detail.

How employers use it

The Proofreading Test is used for roles where accuracy is critical: legal, medical, financial, and publishing positions. It is often paired with the Editing Test for a complete assessment of written English skills.

Frequently asked questions
