In this module, you can take a series of tests of English skills. When complete, there will be three tests with a total of 100 items, each with four possible answers.

• I. spelling, capitals, and punctuation;
• II. verbs, pronouns, adjectives, and adverbs;
• III. sentence structure, sentence punctuation, and clarity.

In the sample below, select the best answer and mark the appropriate circle beneath each question.

Read the directions carefully before beginning each section. You will have a total of 90 minutes. Do not spend too much time on any single question. If you do not know the answer, move on to the next question.

This is not a test for a grade. It's a diagnostic test to help you identify your strengths and weaknesses in English skills. Although it is possible to re-take the test before you submit the results, this practice will not give you the information the test is designed to supply.

Sample: Each of the questions below contains an error in one of the underlined sections. The errors are in spelling, capitals, and punctuation. Choose the correct answer that corresponds to the section of the sentence containing the error.
