      "desc": "30 standalone sentences that test pure grammar accuracy — tense, agreement, punctuation and easily confused words — with no vocabulary or reading-comprehension items.",
      "recommendation": "Your grammar accuracy",
      "scope": {
        "title": "What this test measures — and what it does not",
        "measures": "Pure grammar and mechanics, tested through standalone sentences: verb tense and aspect, subject-verb agreement, articles, prepositions, pronoun case and reference, conditionals, modals, comparatives, word order, punctuation (comma splices, apostrophes, semicolons), and commonly confused words such as its/it's, affect/effect, fewer/less, who/whom and lie/lay.",
        "excludes": "This is not a vocabulary test and not a reading-comprehension test — there are no passages to read and no word-meaning questions. It also does not produce a CEFR level or an overall proficiency band. If you want a broader picture of your written English across grammar, vocabulary, reading and everyday workplace usage, take the English Proficiency Test instead; this test isolates grammar accuracy on its own.",
        "standing": "This is a self-scored accuracy check, not an accredited certification and not equivalent to a proofreading or copy-editing qualification. It shows you which grammar areas you got right and which you didn't, so you can spot patterns in your own writing — it does not certify your English for an employer, school or exam board."

Writers at this level are understood without trouble. The cost shows up in formal writing, where these slips read as carelessness rather than as a language question.",
          "recommendation": "Start with your weakest of the four areas and learn it as a small set of rules rather than by feel. Tense and agreement each come down to a handful of patterns, punctuation to fewer. Write two paragraphs a day applying just that one area until it stops requiring thought."

          "name": "Clean Everyday Writing",
          "desc": "Your writing is grammatically sound in ordinary use and slips on the constructions that need a deliberate decision: whether the subject is still singular after a long phrase, when a semicolon beats a comma, and the confusable pairs such as its and it’s, fewer and less, who and whom. These are the errors that survive a read-through, because nothing sounds wrong when you re-read your own sentence.",
          "recommendation": "Read anything that matters aloud before you send it. That catches agreement and word-order errors silent reading skips. For confusables, keep a short personal list of the two or three you actually get wrong rather than trying to learn the full set."

What remains is the small tail where usage is contested rather than wrong, plus constructions long enough that the subject ends up far from its verb. At this level grammar has stopped limiting your writing, and clarity is what is left.",
          "recommendation": "Check your weakest of the four areas and read the explanations for those items specifically. Beyond that, the higher-value work is editing rather than grammar: cut sentence length and keep the subject close to its verb, so agreement errors have nowhere to hide."

Accuracy like this is what people mean when they say someone writes well before they can explain why. The mechanics stay out of the reader’s way.",
          "recommendation": "Grammar is no longer where your writing is won or lost. Put the effort into structure and concision, and use the four area scores here only to confirm nothing has drifted after long stretches of writing quickly."

          "desc": "You cleared almost every item, including the contested and easily confused ones that reward knowing the rule rather than trusting your ear. That level of accuracy is what proofreading and editing roles filter for, and it usually means you notice errors in other people’s writing whether you want to or not.",
          "recommendation": "There is little grammar left to learn from a test of this kind. If accuracy is part of your work, the useful next step is a broader check across vocabulary, reading and everyday workplace usage. The English Proficiency Test covers those; this one deliberately does not."
