Is this grammatically correct?

A good challenge, the tests are, pushing us students to study hard to learn and study.
  

Top answer

Sentences like yours occur frequently in spoken English when people start saying something without having thought out every detail in advance. Normally, in written language anyway, the subject comes first: The tests are a good challenge, pushing us students to study hard [to learn]. I would drop the second study for stylistic reasons.
