An English grammar test is a type of language assessment designed to measure an individual's knowledge of English grammar. It is commonly used by recruiters and HR teams to evaluate a candidate's language proficiency during the hiring process.
The test typically includes a series of multiple-choice questions related to grammar, including topics such as verb tense, subject-verb agreement, and sentence structure. The candidate must identify sentences with correct grammar to score well on the test.

The English grammar test is suitable for assessing candidates for a wide range of roles.

In Picked's English grammar test, candidates will need to answer a range of questions identifying common grammatical phrases that are incorrect. With a varying degree of difficulty, the test questions are designed to indicate how well a candidate comprehends English grammar.
The test avoids requiring any irrelevant knowledge from the candidate aside from language proficiency; thus it is general enough to be used for any job requiring English reading and writing. All questions are multiple-choice: a format familiar to most candidates that allows for immediate, objective scoring.
The response options aside from the correct answer, called distractors, are mostly common mistakes or misconceptions, which enhances the question's ability to accurately measure a candidate's proficiency.
