The multiple-choice questions measure students' writing skills both at the sentence level and within the context of passages. The current examination in English Composition places a greater emphasis on revising work in progress than did previous forms of the test. The examination is designed so that average students who have completed the general education requirement in English composition can usually answer about half of the questions correctly.
Skills at the Sentence LevelThe examination measures the candidate's knowledge of a variety of logical, structural, and grammatical relationships within a sentence; these skills are tested by approximately 55 percent of the all-multiple-choice version and 30 percent of the multiple-choice questions in the version with essay. Questions test recognition of standard written English relating to
* Sentence boundaries
* Clarity of expression
* Agreement: subject-verb; verb tense; pronoun reference, shift, number
* Active/passive voice
* Diction and idiom
* Syntax: parallelism, coordination, subordination, dangling modifiers
* Sentence variety
