Proofreading & Editing Professional Practice Exam

Proofreading & Editing — No single standardized licensing exam exists for proofreading and editing; however, the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) in the UK and the American Copy Editors Society (ACES) offer recognized competency credentials. This is an original, comprehensive practice set modeled on the skills, style knowledge, and error-identification tasks those assessments test, covering grammar, punctuation, style consistency, word usage, and editorial judgment at a professional level.
