Editorial Process

Effective Date: June 3, 2025

At HowTests, we are committed to delivering high-quality, reliable, and inclusive educational content that empowers students and competitive exam aspirants. Our editorial process ensures that all materials meet the highest standards of academic integrity, clarity, and user relevance, whether produced by experts or submitted by users.

Our Core Editorial Principles

Our editorial foundation is built on the following principles.

1. Earning and Maintaining Trust

We aim to be a trusted learning resource by offering transparent, fact-based, and relevant content. Our readers can rely on us for exam-specific accuracy and professional guidance.

2. Zero Tolerance for Plagiarism

Every piece of content, whether written by our team or submitted by users, is run through plagiarism detection tools and evaluated for originality. Any material found to be copied or derivative is immediately rejected or revised.

3. Refined and Readable Writing

Submissions must be clear, logical, and purposeful. If a piece does not meet our editorial standards, our editors have the right to refine, restructure, or rewrite content to ensure accuracy, coherence, and readability.

4. Respectful and Inclusive Language

We do not accept or publish content that includes abusive, offensive, discriminatory, or derogatory language. Our platform must remain a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment for learners of all backgrounds.

5. Adaptability and Continuous Updating

We continually monitor exam trends, curriculum shifts, and user feedback to ensure our content remains up-to-date. Our editorial process is dynamic and continually evolves to adapt to the ever-changing educational landscape.

6. Content Creation and Review Process

Contributor Selection and Training

  • Expertise Verification: We select contributors, teachers, and editors with proven subject-matter expertise.
  • Editorial Training: Authors receive training on research ethics, digital writing standards, and platform-specific style guides.
  • Public Author Profiles: Contributors must provide verified information, which is displayed publicly to promote transparency and reader trust.

Content Development

  • Research-Based Writing: Content is created using authoritative sources aligned with exam standards, such as CSS, PMS, FPSC, PPSC, BPSC, KPPSC, AJKPSC, and NTS.
  • Purpose-Driven Structure: All pieces, tests or explanations, are crafted with a clear goal: to build understanding and exam readiness.

Editorial Review

  • Initial Screening: Content is reviewed for originality, educational value, structure, and relevance.
  • Plagiarism Check: All content must pass Content filters before further processing.
  • Fact-Checking & Expert Review: Dedicated reviewers and subject experts validate all technical, statistical, or topic-specific claims.
  • Copyediting & Language Review: Final content is edited for grammar, flow, empathy, tone, and inclusivity to ensure accessibility for diverse learners.

User-generated content and Tasks

We welcome contributions from users provided they meet the following conditions.

  • Content must be original and free from plagiarism.
  • Language must be academic, respectful, and non-offensive.
  • Submissions may be edited or refined by our team to meet quality benchmarks.

By submitting content, you grant HowTests the right to publish, edit, or adapt it as part of our educational ecosystem.

AI-Assisted & Dashboard-Based Content

AI tools for structure, readability, or error correction can enhance certain types of content. However, human editors always perform the final review. Custom content that appears in users’ dashboards (such as personalized explanations or retest suggestions) is specially curated to match each learner’s progress.
