The Basic English Grammar (US English) skills test is a fast, easy way to confirm whether a candidate has a basic understanding of spelling, sentence structure, punctuation, and common writing mistakes. The test asks questions from a bank of questions for testing security purposes. HR Avatar periodically adds new questions to this bank to prevent cheating and to stay current with developments in the practice of providing world-class customer service.

This test is fully mobile ready and operates on most modern mobile devices. This basic version has fewer questions than our full version and does not have any proofreading questions. The basic version also computes only a single overall competency entitled Grammar while the full version reports three different competencies (Grammar, Spelling, and Proofreading).

Topics that are covered within the test include:

• Spelling
• Basic reading comprehension
• Understanding context
• Commonly misused words

Note that while the English Grammar skills assessment is a useful and efficient instrument for confirming a base level of skill or knowledge about this important topic, it is not intended to pinpoint the exact level of candidate or skill. We recommend that skills tests, like this one, be used in parallel with other measurements, such as cognitive ability, job fit, and behavioral history. Each different type of test provides a valuable piece of information you can use when evaluating potential job performance.
