consists of three tests reading test, writing & language test and maths
test.

language passages, so that error can be intentionally introduced. Passages are
several paragraphs long so that the students engage in complex real-world
revision and editing tasks and the student will often need to have a good
understanding of one or more paragraphs or even the entire passage to answer a
particular question.

The writing and language tests also include
passages that are paired with tables, charts, graphs, and other informational
