Criteria Excel test practice
Criteria's Excel test is a short, adaptive multiple-choice test of about 5 to 7 minutes, from beginner to advanced. Adaptive means the questions get harder or easier based on your answers. Practise answering Excel questions quickly and accurately, from formulas and functions to lookups and data tools.

What the Criteria Excel test is like
- Criteria describes its current Excel test as short, adaptive and multiple choice, taking about 5 to 7 minutes.
- It covers beginner to advanced skills, and the questions adjust to how you're doing.
- An older Criteria brochure described 10-minute, 20-question Office tests, so the version you get may differ.

Skills to practise
Tips for the day
- Accuracy early matters in adaptive tests: harder questions follow right answers.
- Read each formula slowly once. Most wrong answers come from a misread range or a missing $.
