What the MS Word Test measures

Part A: multiple-choice questions on Word features - keyboard shortcuts, styles, track changes, tables, and formatting tools (15 minutes). Part B: practical tasks performed inside a browser-based Word simulation - apply heading styles, format a table, accept tracked changes (15 minutes). Total: 30 minutes.

How employers use it

Used for roles where daily work involves producing or editing Word documents — executive assistants, legal secretaries, editorial coordinators, and publishing production staff.

Frequently asked questions

What does the MS Word Test cover? +

Part A: multiple-choice knowledge questions covering styles, track changes, keyboard shortcuts, tables, and formatting. Part B: practical tasks inside a browser-based Word simulation — apply heading styles, format a table, accept tracked changes.

Does the candidate need Word installed? +

No. Part B uses a browser-based Word simulation, so no software installation is required. The test works in any modern desktop browser.

How is the MS Word Test scored? +

Part A is scored automatically against the answer key on submission. Part B is reviewed by a trained human editor before the combined result is released to the client — the scoring engine does a first-pass comparison against a master document using structural node-tree comparison, and a human editor then checks the result and signs off.
