Global English Test publishes English learning, assessment, study, and career resources for an international audience. This policy explains how we plan, write, review, update, and correct that content.
Our Editorial Purpose
Our goal is to help readers understand English and make better-informed learning decisions. Articles should answer a clear question, use language appropriate to the intended learner, provide examples that can be applied in context, and distinguish general guidance from official requirements.
How Content Is Prepared
- Topic selection: We choose topics from learner needs, common language questions, assessment concepts, and practical study or career situations.
- Drafting: Writers organise each article around the reader’s likely task and include explanations, examples, comparisons, or practice where appropriate.
- Review: Content is checked for clarity, internal consistency, unsupported claims, misleading equivalences, and usefulness to the intended audience.
- Publication: Titles, descriptions, headings, links, and page structure are reviewed so readers and search engines can understand the page.
- Maintenance: Important pages are revisited when providers change test formats, score scales, acceptance rules, or official guidance.
Sources and Fact-Checking
For information that can change, we prefer primary sources such as official test providers, government departments, universities, professional regulators, and standards organisations. Secondary sources may be used for context, but they should not replace the organisation responsible for a current rule or requirement.
Readers should always confirm high-stakes requirements directly with the organisation making the decision. This includes university admission, employment screening, professional licensing, immigration, visa, medical, and legal requirements. A comparison article cannot guarantee that a particular certificate, score, or document will be accepted.
English Level and Test Claims
The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages describes broad communicative proficiency across skills. A short grammar, vocabulary, or reading quiz samples only part of that ability. We aim to label practice tests clearly and avoid presenting a narrow exercise as an official or complete CEFR decision.
When score comparisons are discussed, the source, test version, date, and receiving organisation matter. We do not treat scores from different providers as perfectly interchangeable, and we encourage readers to use current official comparison information.
Examples, Exercises, and Model Answers
Examples are written to illustrate the stated language point in a plausible context. Exercises should have a clear answer or acknowledge when more than one answer is possible. Model CVs, cover letters, emails, and interview answers are starting points to adapt, not text to copy without checking facts and suitability.
Use of Digital and AI Tools
Digital tools may support research, organisation, language review, and production. Human editorial responsibility remains essential. Claims, examples, links, and high-stakes details should be checked before publication, and automated output should not be treated as a source by itself.
Updates and Corrections
We update content when information becomes outdated, a clearer explanation is needed, or a factual or language error is identified. Substantial revisions may change the modified date. Minor formatting work should not be used to imply that an article has received a complete factual review.
If you believe an article contains an error, please use the GET Support page. Include the page URL, the relevant passage, and a reliable source or explanation when possible. We will review specific correction requests and update the page when a change is warranted.
Authors and Responsibility
Author pages describe each contributor’s coverage areas and editorial focus. The named author is responsible for the article’s presentation, while Global English Test remains responsible for site-wide editorial standards, corrections, and product information.
