Some of the tasks include creating and saving workbooks, editing and formatting, working with formulas and functions, and manipulating charts.

Detailed Score Reports

Score reports for the Excel 2013 or 2016 test provide a raw score of the number of questions an individual answered correctly, along with the percentile ranking of how well that individual performed compared to others. For instance, if an applicant scored in the 94th percentile, this means that he or she performed better than 94% of the other people who have taken the test.

The score report also presents an itemized list of every question from the test and indicates whether or not the applicant answered that question correctly, along with how long the applicant took to answer each question. This provides a fuller picture of an applicant’s strengths and weaknesses within Microsoft Excel.
