Important Facts About Advanced Excel Tests
The advanced level test is aimed for candidates who will manage a large amount of data and use the software at high capacity. It therefore requires a candidate to master the different features of the software. This doesn't mean you won't see any basic or intermediate questions on the advanced level test. They will, however, be the minority. Most of the questions will deal with formulas, macro creation, advanced formatting and document properties. Make sure to review the different topics to best prepare.
