Today,
Community Business College had a record-setting day. One person was able to
complete her Microsoft Office Masters certification by completing all four
required tests in three days.
Test Strategy
Here’s
what she did to strategize:
First
pick the Microsoft
Master certification you want.
Recently, Microsoft changed the system to include two different tracks
that include two expert exams for Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel.
Here
are the Microsoft Office master certifications from which to choose:
Exams required:
Elective exams (choose one):
Exams required:
Excel
2013 Expert Part 1
Excel
2013 Expert Part 2
Elective exams (choose one):
Traditional Office 2013 Track
Exams required:
Word
2013 Expert Part 1
Word
2013 Expert Part 2
Excel
2013 Expert Part 1
Excel
2013 Expert Part 2
Exams required:
Elective exams (choose one):
In
her case, she wanted the Microsoft Word 2013 Track because she uses Microsoft
Word heavily at her work site. So that’s the one she picked.
The
next strategy is to figure out where you strengths are. When taking the
Microsoft Office exams, it helps to start off with a program you are very
familiar with. That way you get quick passing grade and build momentum.
Here’s
the way she did it: She did these two exams on one day:
Then
this exam the following day:
And
then finally this exam today:
PowerPoint
can be a difficult test because a lot of people take it for granted. If you use
a lot of its features though, or study up on the ones you’re not that familiar,
it’s not too hard.
The
recent change in the Microsoft
Expert certification means that the Microsoft Word Expert exam is now split
up into two 50-minute exams. It means you have to be familiar with a wider
range of Microsoft Word functions in order to pass it.
Why Go To All That Trouble?
The
Microsoft Office Master
Certification demonstrates the highest level of proficiently when using
Office programs. Many employers will use it as continuing education units or to
meet certain job requirements. It certainly helps when you’re going in for an
annual employee evaluation meeting.
Certification is Important
The
need for Microsoft Office skills is increasing dramatically as more and more
businesses are embracing newer technologies. Microsoft Office Specialist
certification enables Office users to demonstrate their abilities to
complete tasks and projects with greater ease and efficiency with proven Office
skills. Based on globally recognized standards, MOS certification validates
your skills, builds self-confidence and enhances professional standing among
peers and managers.
Lifelong Learning
Getting
certified through Microsoft also provides a good deal of personal satisfaction.
Adults always need to practice lifelong
learning and this is one way to do it. The new Microsoft
Office Specialist certification validates the skills needed to use the
powerful features and functionality of the Microsoft Office programs by passing
a results-oriented computerized exam. Those who successfully complete a
Microsoft Office Specialist exam have demonstrated the skills necessary to work
faster and smarter while improving performance.
Bottom
line – you get out of Microsoft Office only what you put into it. The more you
know, the more you can do.
As
you study and prepare
for the Microsoft Office Master certification, you’ll find you learn a lot
more about these programs than you’ve been using. Hopefully, you’ll be able to
put what you’ve learned to good use in more efficient and time-saving work.
One
of the nifty changes the testing system has made is they now offer
certification verification. It’s sure easy for unscrupulous people who want to
forge their own certifications to run off their own on a good color
printer. Microsoft Office certifications
now offers this website : www.verifycertiport.com
where anyone can enter a code that
appears on all official certifications
