WriteX - Email Writing

This assessment measures the ability to write an email in a proper format. A well written email is easier to read and
understand. This skill is extremely important at work given the extensive use of emails for official communication.

A professional email should be comprehensive, effective and should avoid the usage of informal words, including
slang and idioms. The email should be clear and concise, but at the same time, it should be able to convey all the
necessary details.

The email submitted by the test taker was evaluated after taking various aspects into consideration which included,
the usage of a clear and concise subject line, necessary salutation, relevance and completeness of the content,
appropriate usage of passive and active voice, correct grammar, spellings, punctuation, and a complete signature at
the end.

The candidate prepared an email that contained several formatting errors (e.g., subject, salutation, body, closing),
which could make it difficult for others to process the key points in the message. They may be more likely than
others to demonstrate errors in email etiquette such as style or punctuation.

Competencies

Content

This section measures the relevance of the content written on a given topic. A high score on this
competency means that the content is relevant, simple and descriptive. The reasoning provided in the
email has the ability to influence the reader. This competency is important in most jobs as written
communication with clients and colleagues is an integral part of any job.

The content is adequate and the main subject has some supporting information, but lacks a few
important details.

Below are the various areas covered under the grammar competency along with the candidate
proficiency for each area.

Noun/Pronoun errors

The candidate may find it difficult to distinguish nouns from other parts of speech and is more likely
than others to make errors while using them. They may have difficulty in identifying pronouns and
where to use them, which can reduce sentence clarity.

Determiner/Preposition/Article errors

The candidate may find it difficult to use determiners accurately within a sentence. They may struggle
to indicate which person or object the sentence is about, or how many or how much of them there
are. They are less likely than others to distinguish definite and indefinite articles which can reduce the
clarity of sentences. They may also find it difficult to identify and use prepositions to write and/or
speak complete sentences.

Verb form or Verb tense errors

The candidate may find it difficult to identify the past, present, and future tenses and use them in a
sentence. They may need help in understanding present perfect, past perfect, and future perfect
tenses and their progressive forms. They may struggle to distinguish between regular and irregular
verbs.

Adjective/Adverb errors

The candidate is likely to excel in identifying and using adverbs correctly in sentences. They are also
likely to fully understand the purpose and different types of adjectives and to use adjectives correctly.
They are even likely to identify comparative and superlative forms of adjectives and are comfortable
using them in a sentence.

Others
