HOW TO EDIT AND PROOFREAD YOUR ESSAYS?
2

• If you are creating an article, an essay for MBA
  application or a letter to a client, checking for
  mistakes is crucial here. The spell and grammar
  checkers help but you cant rely on them 100.
  That is where editing and proofreading come in.
  Read the following tips on how to make your piece
  of writing flawless.

3

• Give your written piece a rest
• You should allow some time between writing and
  proofreading (ideally, it takes one day). Your
  paper will get cold, giving you a chance to
  spot mistakes with fresh eyes.

4

• Be highly concentrated
• Get rid of all things that can distract you from
  proofreading. Turn off a cell phone, TV, radio,
  or music and dont even think about answering
  emails or messages from Facebook, unless its
  highly important.

5

• Look at one type of mistakes
• Its better to read your written piece several
  times, focusing first on grammar issues, then
  paper structure, then word choice, and in the end
  punctuation marks.

6

• Look carefully at figures, proper manes, data,
  tables, empirical facts, etc.
• Those are kind of things where we can
  unintentionally miss one figure which will
  distort the whole picture significantly. So,
  ensure that all such information in your written
  piece is accurate.

7

• Check a printed version
• Its much more effective in detecting errors to
  print out the copy of your paper than reading it
  from a computer screen. Rechecking in different
  formats is very helpful.

8

• Read an essay aloud
• Its a good chance to hear some awkward words,
  faulty verb endings or inaccurate sentence
  structure which you couldnt catch while just
  seeing the text in front of you without
  re-reading aloud.

9

• Use spell checker wisely
• Such tools are not good-proof but such an extra
  help could be useful. If youre looking for more
  professional and 100 reliable help, then contact
  MBA essay editing service.

10

• Use a dictionary
• It helps to find the right word and makes the
  written piece much richer in vocabulary. In
  English, there are many words which can confuse
  you (for example, a desert and a dessert which
  mean absolutely different things). So, rely on
  this great book.

11

• Try reading from backward
• It helps to concentrate on each word separately
  and catch spelling mistakes. Start from the last
  word in your MBA goals essay and move from right
  to left.

12

• Come up with your own list of errors
• Write down what mistakes you usually commit and
  then stick to this list each time you edit and
  proofread. Alternatively, use the best MBA essay
  editing service.

13

• Ask for a little help
• Ask your friend to review a paper. Youll be
  surprised how many errors you can miss. Having
  somebody else is a great chance to look at your
  paper from a fresh perspective.

14

• Check the punctuation
• Concentrating on grammar and spelling is
  obviously great, but take a look at the
  punctuation. Watch out for missing or extra
  commas as well as other punctuation marks used
  incorrectly.

15

• Double check contractions and apostrophes
• Sometimes people unintentionally write its
  instead of its or their instead of
  theyre. So, look carefully to spot such errors
  or contact business proofreading services.

16

• Watch out for homonyms
• There are some words in English which have almost
  the same pronunciation, but absolutely different
  meanings (for example, tale and tail,
  accept and except, two and too, etc).
  Theyre called homonyms. Pay a close attention to
  such words.

17

• Edit, and then proofread
• Only when you finish editing your paper, youre
  welcome to proofread. In other cases,
  proofreading is pointless. Use MBA application
  help if you want to make things a little bit
  easier.

18

• Do several proofreading cycles
• Proofread a paper several times. No chance youll
  fix all mistakes from the first time. If youre
  tired, have some break and do something pleasant
  so you can back to proofreading in a good mood.

19

• Check for plagiarism
• Make sure your content is original and written in
  your own words. Take it seriously and dont risk
  because consequences can be awful.
