Basic Excel Skills Assessment Test

A Basic Excel Skills test is an assessment of an individual’s ability to perform basic tasks in Microsoft Excel, such as entering data and performing basic excel functions and calculations. The test may also assess an individual’s ability to analyze data and interpret results.

There are a number of technical skills that are tested in our basic excel assessment.
One of the most common skills is formatting cells which involves changing the font size, color, and style of text, as well as aligning cell contents.
Data manipulation is another key skill that is tested which includes sorting data, creating formulas, and using worksheet tabs.
Keyboard shortcut keys are also an important part of Excel and are often tested in the assessment. These keys allow users to quickly perform common tasks, such as copying and pasting data.
Finally, testing conditional formatting skills is important as it can save time and effort when working with large excel spreadsheets.
