spelling tests

Written vocabulary assessments

Spelling tests are school exercises in which students write words from dictation to demonstrate correct spelling.

A staple of elementary education, they typically follow a weekly cycle: students receive a word list, study at home, then take the test on Friday.

I got a perfect score on my spelling test.
