Microsoft Office Specialist Certification Exams 

Exam Format  

Microsoft Office Specialist Certification exam is neither a written test nor a test with questions in multiple-choice format. Instead, it is a performance-based test, which means each test is conducted within a "live" Microsoft Office program. Using the actual program, you are asked to perform a series of tasks to demonstrate your skills. A typical Microsoft Office Specialist exam takes one hour or less. You move at your own pace;  but the exam is timed and you will be penalized if you take too long to complete it.  Exam results are displayed as soon as the exam is completed. Successful candidates will receive an official Microsoft Office Specialist Certificate in about two weeks' time.
