Diagnostic Test
Question 1

The following is a diagnostic test, divided into parts, to help you identify your strengths and weaknesses in English skills. Each part focuses on:

 

•Spelling, capitals, and punctuation
•Verbs, pronouns, adjectives, and adverbs
•Sentence structure, sentence punctuation, and clarity

To get started, choose Form A Part 1, and follow the directions. Each part is graded when you finish the test and click "submit for grade." You will be taken to the Results Reporter page where a percentage grade will be given by topic along with a list of questions that you marked correctly and incorrectly. These results do not feed into a grade book. However, you can print your Results Reporter page or send your results via e-mail to yourself and to your instructor by completing the Routing Information box at the end of the Results Reporter page. Good luck!
