MOS 2016 - Διαδικασία Εξετάσεων

Περιέχει πληροφορίες για την προετοιμασία των εξετάσεων και τη διαδικασία κατά της εξέτασης.

Every MOS certification exam is developed from a set of exam skill standards (referred to as the objective domain) that are derived from studies of how the Office programs are used in the workplace. Because these skill standards dictate the scope of each exam, they provide critical information about how to prepare for certification. This course follows the structure of the published exam objectives.

The MOS certification exams are performance based and require you to complete business-related tasks in the program for which you are seeking certification. For example, you might be presented with a document and told to insert and format additional document elements. Your score on the exam reflects how many of the requested tasks you complete within the allotted time.

Microsoft Office Specialist Exam Tips

  • Accept all default settings unless otherwise specified in the task instructions.
  • The exam calculates your score based on the final changes you make to the files and application settings. You may use any valid method to complete the tasks.
  • If a task instructs you to enter “specific text”, you can click the text to copy it to the Clipboard. Then you can paste it into the file or application.
  • If you perform a task by making a change in a dialog box, close the dialog box to save the settings. Close any open dialog boxes before submitting a project.
  • During the exam, the files are password-protected. The following commands are disabled and not necessary to use to complete the exam:
      • Help
      • Share
      • New
      • Open
      • Encrypt with Password
  • To change the height of the exam panel and file area, drag the split bar between the file and the exam panel.
  • The exam saves the file when you go to another task or project.

  • Word Exam Tips
      • You can quickly go to a named Word document section by selecting the section name in the Navigation pane.

  • Excel Exam Tips
      • If a task instructs you to enter information into a column, ensure that the information is in all cells of the column within the Excel table or data range.
      • Some worksheet cells are locked. You can reference a locked cell in a formula by entering its cell reference (for example, A1).

  • PowerPoint Exam Tips
      • Tasks may identify slides by title or slide number.
      • Point to a slide in the Slides pane to display its title.
      • Do not add, move, or delete slides unless instructed to do so because it changes the slide numbers.

Here is some helpful information about taking the exam:

Image Keep track of the time. Your exam time does not officially begin until after you finish reading the instructions provided at the beginning of the exam. During the exam, the amount of time remaining is shown in the exam instruction window. You can’t pause the exam after you start it.

Image Pace yourself. At the beginning of the exam, you will receive information about the tasks that are included in the exam. During the exam, the number of completed and remaining tasks is shown in the exam instruction window.

Image Read the exam instructions carefully before beginning. Follow all the instructions provided completely and accurately.

Image Enter requested information as it appears in the instructions, but without duplicating the formatting unless you are specifically instructed to do so. For example, the text and values you are asked to enter might appear in the instructions in bold and underlined text, but you should enter the information without applying these formats.

Image Close all dialog boxes before proceeding to the next exam item unless you are specifically instructed not to do so.

Image Don’t close task panes before proceeding to the next exam item unless you are specifically instructed to do so.

Image If you are asked to print a document, worksheet, chart, report, or slide, perform the task, but be aware that nothing will actually be printed.

Image Don’t worry about extra keystrokes or mouse clicks. Your work is scored based on its result, not on the method you use to achieve that result (unless a specific method is indicated in the instructions).

Image If a computer problem occurs during the exam (for example, if the exam does not respond or the mouse no longer functions) or if a power outage occurs, contact a testing center administrator immediately. The administrator will restart the computer and return the exam to the point where the interruption occurred, with your score intact.
