Frequently asked questions
How can I improve my spelling for competitive exams?
Keep a list of words you misspell and revise it weekly. Learn common patterns, such as double consonants in accommodation and embarrass, and endings like -ance, -ence, -able and -ible. Reading good quality English regularly also helps you notice when a word looks wrong.
Do exams in South Asia use British or American spelling?
Most exams in Pakistan, India and Bangladesh follow British spelling, such as colour, centre and organise, because their education systems are based on British English. If both forms appear as options, the British form is usually the expected answer.
