Punctuation

“Punctuation marks are the traffic signals of language: they tell us to slow down, notice this, take a detour, and stop.” ~Lynne Truss, Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation

How to Qualify the Test

If you are required to take an aptitude test as part of an admission or a job application, you may find the prospect a little difficult. In a marked difference to the academic exams you have taken before, you can’t revise for most aptitude tests, as prior knowledge isn’t generally required.

The most important tip for passing your aptitude test is to practice – a lot in every section like Punctuation as a whole and all its topics like Writing Numbers, Semicolons and Colons, Question, Quotation Marks and Parentheses, Miscellaneous, Hyphens, Commas, Capitalization, and Apostrophes. It’s best to use online tests under simulated exam conditions. As you don’t need to learn any specific knowledge, prepare by familiarizing yourself with the format and style of the questions, and getting used to the time restrictions.
