Grammar & Written AccuracyIts or it's, affect or effect, 'discussed about' — 25 items on the grammar that decides how you read.
Grammar & Written Accuracy measures the mechanics that make written work read as professional: subject-verb agreement, its/it's, affect/effect, conditionals, dangling modifiers, prepositions and apostrophes, plus the Indian-English patterns international readers flag. Twenty-five items, 18 minutes, speed-weighted.
The twenty-five errors that get a document sent back
Four sentences about a dataset differ in whether data takes a singular or plural verb and whether the article is present — one is right. Four versions of a sentence differ only in where the apostrophe sits. Elsewhere: a subject joined by as well as and the verb that follows it; a conditional with the wrong tense in its if-clause; a modifier left dangling at the start of a sentence; the preposition after senior, discuss and look forward; comprise versus compose; and the Indian-English patterns — discussed about, revert, prepone — that a reader in another country will circle. Twenty-five items in eighteen minutes, because proofreading at work is done at speed.
The bank is original and aligned to international written-English accuracy conventions, with deliberate coverage of common Indian-workplace usages that differ from global business English. Every key has its rule stated in the explanation — the nearer-subject rule, the possessive-versus-contraction test, the tense sequence in conditionals — and distractors are the versions professionals actually write, not invented howlers. Regional usages are explained as differences to be aware of, with the global equivalent shown, rather than treated as ignorance. Option positions are balanced so that the correct sentence is never predictably placed.
The report scores Verbal Reasoning & Comprehension and Attention to Detail & Accuracy separately, banded from Emerging to Exceptional with coaching interpretations, because knowing the rule and catching the slip under time pressure are different skills. The AI-written narrative names the error family that recurs across your answers — agreement, punctuation, word confusion, regional usage. The question-by-question review states the rule for all 25 items, and the growth plan prioritises the lower competency with a proofreading checklist built from your own misses.
What you walk away with
Verbal Reasoning & Comprehension covers whether you know the grammar; Attention to Detail & Accuracy covers whether you spot the error at speed. Two bars show which one lets errors through in your own documents, and the remedy for each differs.
The narrative reads across your 25 answers to say whether you lose marks on agreement, punctuation, word confusion or regional usage, so your proofreading effort goes to the family that actually costs you rather than to grammar in general.
Each explanation states the rule and the test that applies it — swap in it is to check the apostrophe, find the true subject before choosing the verb, ask whether the modifier has a subject — so a miss becomes a check you can run on your next draft.
The growth plan turns your recurring error families into a short checklist to run before sending anything that matters, prioritised by the lower competency, and points to the business-English test for the structure and register layer above grammar.

One number, one band, and a two-sentence summary of what the band means for you — then the breakdown that explains it.
Assembled from your lowest competencies, in order — not a generic checklist.
Every competency this test declares, scored from the items tagged to it — so the shape is yours, not a template.
Built for
- Professionals whose documents, proposals and emails are read by clients or senior stakeholders
- Candidates for content, communications, client-servicing, legal-support and documentation roles

Frequently asked questions
The mechanics that decide whether written work reads as professional: subject-verb agreement including the nearer-subject rule and as well as, its versus it's, affect versus effect, comprise, conditionals, dangling modifiers, prepositions after words like senior and discuss, apostrophes and high-frequency spellings — plus the Indian-English patterns international readers flag. Twenty-five items in 18 minutes, for professionals whose documents are read by clients or seniors and for teams hiring them.
Each item has one keyed answer with its rule stated in the explanation, and distractors are the versions professionals actually write. Regional usages such as discussed about or prepone are explained as differences from global business English, with the equivalent shown, rather than treated as ignorance. Answers roll into two banded competencies, Verbal Reasoning & Comprehension and Attention to Detail & Accuracy, and an overall 0–100 score. The bands describe where you stand, not a cut-off.
Eighteen minutes for 25 items in one sitting, on any device. The report is generated immediately from your responses: overall banded score, radar and banded bars for the two competencies with coaching interpretations, an AI-written narrative naming your recurring error family, strengths and development areas, a prioritised growth plan with a proofreading checklist and a question-by-question review stating the rule for every item. Everything is included; nothing further to unlock.
Hiring teams use the two bands as a consistent screen for content, communications, client-servicing and documentation roles, and the rule explanations as an editing exercise in the interview. Individuals run the checklist from the growth plan on everything they send for a month and retake to see whether the Attention to Detail band moves. The business-English test then covers structure and register, the layer above grammar.
Yes. Agreement, punctuation, modifiers, conditionals and word confusion are the same rules in every English-speaking workplace, and the regional-usage items are a small, clearly explained block. No item turns on British versus American spelling, and bands describe performance rather than rank against a national group. The test is priced in INR and USD, with the live price shown on this page in your currency.
Numerical, verbal, logical, abstract, spatial, data and workplace-judgment banks — each an original item bank with every rule stated in the explanation, scored per competency and reported with a banded profile and a growth plan. Sit one, or build a battery from several.
