Spelling
Spot the Correctly Spelled Word
A focused test of written precision — a reliable indicator of attention to detail, language fluency and writing competence across everyday and specialised vocabulary.
Get It Right — The First Time
While seemingly straightforward, spelling accuracy is a reliable indicator of attention to detail, language fluency and writing competence. Even with spellcheckers, errors slip through — affecting credibility, professionalism and clarity in everything from emails to client-facing documents.
Each question presents a set of similar words — with only one spelled correctly. The candidate's task is to identify the correct spelling from the options provided, drawing on vocabulary that ranges from everyday language through to more specialised terminology.
The assessment draws from real-world vocabulary and common English-language pitfalls to give an accurate picture of spelling awareness — offering insight into both the breadth and depth of a candidate's spelling competence.
