Congratulations on passing the online test.
You’ve applied for an editorial position, which is a full-time in-house (from the office) or telecommute (work from home) opportunity. If you are selected, you would be expected to dedicate 9 consecutive hours a day for 5 days a week. If this is fine, I invite you to continue with the selection process.
Step 1: Attempting the test
The attached test uses extracts from research manuscripts and is designed to assess your language and comprehension skills, attention to detail, and familiarity or comfort with academic content. The extracts contain errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling, and most of the sentences are not written in native English.
Here are some tips to help you do your best.
- Try to complete the test in one sitting and without distractions.
- Before you take the test, view this video on how to carry out the edit: https://youtu.be/tBMY78maaL0
Edit any one passage in the editing test document. Note that we do not share detailed test results/feedback in order to keep the test reusable.
