Normal practice, or a Simulated test

Both use the same questions. Normal practice is untimed and needs no account: choose an option and the answer and solution appear at once. The Simulated test is the real computer-based format, with one 50-minute clock, a question palette and full screen, and your score, the key and the solutions arrive when you submit.

Timed CBT

The computer-based test format: one clock, a question palette, and a score the moment you submit.

  • A clock that does not pause. 50 minutes from the moment you begin, and the paper is submitted for you when it reaches zero.
  • Question palette. Answered, not answered and marked for review, section by section, as the real interface has it.
  • Full screen, proctored. The test takes over the screen; leaving it three times submits the paper.
  • Answers hidden until you submit. The key, the explanations and your score all arrive together at the end.

About this test

Spelling Correction Level 2 Questions on Tricky and Less Common Words

Level 2 builds the skill of spelling less common English words correctly, including words you must identify from their meaning alone. This Aptitude360 practice set covers definition-based spelling, paired-word checks, sentence blanks and error spotting, with a worked solution for every question.

What this Level 2 spelling set tests

  • Spelling a word correctly from its definition, such as conscientious for careful and thorough in one's duty
  • Recognising connoisseur as the word for an expert judge of taste
  • Spelling acquiesce, meaning to accept something reluctantly without protest
  • Selecting the option in which both words are correctly spelt
  • Spotting the misspelt word within a sentence and choosing its correct form
  • Filling blanks in sentences with the correctly spelt word

Spelling patterns worth mastering at this level

  • Words borrowed from French, which keep unusual letter groups, as in connoisseur
  • Silent or easily missed letters, like the c before q in acquiesce
  • Long words with several unstressed vowels, as in conscientious
  • Endings that sound alike but are spelt differently, such as -ance and -ence

Preparation tips for harder spelling questions

  • Learn the meaning and spelling of a word together, because some questions give only a definition
  • Study word families, since conscientious follows conscience
  • Write difficult words by hand a few times instead of only reading them

Is this spelling set right for you?

It is meant for learners who have finished the basics and now want practice on less common, frequently confused English spellings.

FAQs about Spelling Correction Practice Questions with Detailed Solutions – Level 2

How do you spell connoisseur correctly?
It is spelt c-o-n-n-o-i-s-s-e-u-r, with a double n and a double s. The word comes from French and means an expert judge in matters of taste.
What is the correct spelling of conscientious?
The correct spelling is conscientious. It is built on conscience, and it means careful and thorough in doing one's duty.
How do you spell acquiesce?
It is spelt a-c-q-u-i-e-s-c-e, with a c before the q and sc near the end. It means to accept something reluctantly without protest.
How do I know whether a word ends in -ance or -ence?
There is no single fixed rule, so these endings are best learnt word by word. Relating a word to others in its family can help you remember the ending.
