Microsoft Office Assessment Tests
Microsoft Office tests are among the most commonly used pre-employment assessments tests. The tests can be taken separately, but are usually taken together (in some cases as part of a larger set of tests that might also include personality tests, a typing test or other assessments).
Tests usually come in three levels: basic, intermediate and advanced. The level depends on the nature of the position and the assessment company providing the test.
Three Kinds of Tests
- Interactive: The most common of the three. You are required to complete a set of actions while editing a document or a workbook (for example, in excel you might be asked to create a chart based on a table). The test is performed on a software simulating the Microsoft Office environment. There are usually between 25 – 30 questions constructed in a logical order.
- Multiple-Choice Questions: The multiple choice tests are usually around 20-30 questions long. On these tests, familiarity with the software's terminology and interface is crucial.
- Adaptive Test: Usually a multiple choice questions test that begins with intermediate level questions followed by harder or easier questions, according to your success on previews questions. These tests are relatively hard, and aren't common.
