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 60-minute clock, a question palette and full screen, and your score, the key and the solutions arrive when you submit.

About this test

Spelling Correction Level 3 Practice Questions for English Exams

This is Level 3 of the Spelling Correction practice set on Aptitude360. It is an English Language set that asks you to spot correct and incorrect spellings in words, pairs, groups and sentences. It covers silent letters, doubled consonants and words identified from their definitions, such as embarrassed, sergeant and bureaucracy. Every question has a written solution explaining the correct form.

Question formats in this Level 3 spelling set

  • Picking the correctly spelt word, or the misspelt one, from a list of options
  • Choosing the correct spelling to fill a blank in a sentence
  • Finding the misspelt word inside a full sentence, as with embarrassed or sergeant
  • Selecting the option in which both words of a pair, or all three words of a group, are spelt correctly
  • Spelling a word from its meaning, such as bureaucracy, camaraderie and onomatopoeia

Spelling patterns worth revising

  • Doubled consonants that are easy to drop, such as the double r and double s in embarrassed
  • Silent or unexpected letters, as in sergeant and the u in guarantee
  • French-derived words such as bureaucracy and camaraderie have letter sequences worth memorising
  • Long Greek-derived words like onomatopoeia, where vowel clusters can be tricky to spell

How to prepare for spelling correction questions

  • Keep a notebook of words you misspell and write each one correctly a few times
  • Split long words into syllables or roots, for example bureau and cracy, before checking letters
  • Learn a word together with its meaning, since definition-based questions test both
  • Read the whole sentence before choosing, because the misspelt word may be a familiar one

Who should practise this set

It suits aspirants for competitive exams with an English Language section who are comfortable with basic spellings and want Level 3 practice on trickier words.

FAQs about Spelling Correction Practice Questions with Detailed Solutions – Level 3

What are spelling correction questions in English?
They ask you to identify the correctly spelt or misspelt word among options or within a sentence. Some versions ask you to fill a blank with the correct spelling or to name a word from its meaning.
How can I improve my spelling for competitive exams?
Read regularly, keep a list of words you misspell and revise them in groups that share a pattern. Breaking long words into syllables or roots also makes their letters easier to remember.
Is it embarrassed or embarassed?
The correct spelling is embarrassed, with a double r and a double s. Embarassed, with a single r, is a common mistake.
What is the correct spelling of bureaucracy?
The correct spelling is bureaucracy. It comes from the French word bureau followed by the ending cracy, meaning rule or government.
