Office Pro - Challenge Exam

The TestOut Challenge exam is like our Office Pro Practice exam with some specific differences to help instructors access students’ mastery of skills and preparation for the TestOut Office Pro Certification exam.

The Office Pro Practice exams allow students to prepare for the TestOut Office Pro Certification exam. However, they can take practice exams as often as they like and as the instructor you can only see a score 84%, 77%, 61% for example. You have no idea what areas the class may be lacking in or topics a specific student may be struggling with.

So, the TestOut Challenge exam gives you detail for determining exam readiness and what assistance is still needed. First, you can schedule this exam for a specific day and time students can take this test. You can also choose to give students a one-time take or multiple attempts. After students have taken the exam, detailed report data is available showing areas where the class did poorly on as well as parts individual students had difficulties with.

With this data, you can better assist students in their preparation for the TestOut Office Pro Certification exam.

Note: The TestOut Challenge exam is optional.
