On the whole there are no huge changes on the May Test. However, there are a few small tweaks …

Compared to the average of the 8 Official Tests, the May Test had

• 3 more punctuation questions - matching a growing importance placed on punctuation

• 2 less grammar (consistently of plural vs singular or verb tense)

• 2 vocab questions - matching the trend (whereas March had four!)

• graphic questions remained constant at 2

• zero organization questions (where you place a sentence in a particular part of the paragraph) - where most tests have anywhere from 1 -3

• 3 questions that ask you to keep or delete a sentence - where the May test had zero!

On the whole there were no great changes - but rather some minor shifts.
