The editing test is about correcting linguistic errors (numbering, punctuation, grammar/spelling and vocabulary) and formatting mistakes in a translation.

The source text in Language 2 is provided on screen.

A translation of this text into Language 1, provided as an editable MSWord (MS Office 2010) file, contains mistakes in the language and the format in comparison to the source text.

The candidate is asked to detect and correct these mistakes, in order to match the source text. 

The test lasts approximately one hour.
