The following is a test article editors may use to home in on their error catching abilities. This article has spelling, grammar, punctuation, and other such errors which will need to be found during the test taking process. Taking this test is completely optional, and may be done at any time at the discretion of the tester. In order to take this test, all that is required is a text editing software such as Microsoft Word or Wordpad. However, is is extremely recommended that any automated spell checking device on the software is turned off before the text of the test is copied to the document. Any use of a spell checking device during a test can not be helped if decided upon by the tester, but please remember that it will not help you advance in your abilities. Once copied, the test taker will manually edit out all the errors he/she may find. Afterwards, the tester may use a spell checking software to discover the errors he/she may of missed. Using a software to check for errors will not always result in every error being found, and may flag a correct portion wrong. As such, a proofreader is highly recommended.
