## Description
The English Word Usage (US English) assessment is a skills and knowledge assessment designed to evaluate a candidate's or employee's proficiency in the proper use of the English language. It measures competencies across key areas of English word usage, including nouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, pronouns, and general word usage.
