FROM RULES TO CONFIDENT EDITING

Learn the pattern. Understand the choice.

01

Find your starting point

Take the diagnostic test and use the score sheet to choose the sections that need your attention.

02

Learn through clear examples

Study tables of rules, practical tips and watch-out boxes before trying the tests and open practice.

03

Check the reason

Use the explained answer key to understand each choice, then take the final review test to check your progress.

WHAT YOU WILL STUDY

Small marks. Clearer meaning.

Capital letters · End marks · Commas · Run-ons, comma splices and fragments · Apostrophes · Quotation marks · Colons and semicolons · Hyphens, dashes and brackets · Emails, titles, numbers and lists · Mixed practice · Proofreading and editing

The guide uses American spelling and punctuation. Where careful writers use more than one style, it explains the choice and recommends a consistent approach.

A PRACTICAL STUDY ROUTINE

Diagnose. Practise. Review.

01 · Check your skills

Start with the diagnostic test and identify the punctuation problems that affect your writing.

02 · Focus your practice

Study a section, notice how the marks change meaning, then complete the test and open practice.

03 · Edit and revisit

Use the proofreading checklist, error hunts and rewriting tasks. Keep the index nearby when reviewing your own writing.
