Sample spelling questions where you have to identify incorrectly
spelt words are common in all levels of
verbal ability tests. The
test designer needs to choose commonly misspelled words which are
in regular use, as it would be unfair to use obscure words which
only a small percentage of candidates could be expected to know.
This means that the test designer has a relatively restricted list
of words to choose from and you will find that the same words tend
to appear in many different suppliers tests.
