The actual MOUS Certification Exam, however, asks you to perform functions using the real software. Because simulations in the Practice Test cover all methods of answering a question, the testing experience is very similar to the one you will encounter on the actual MOUS Certification Exam. However, there are some differences: ·The MOUS Certification Exam does NOT give you feedback (telling you whether your answer to a question is correct or not) and does NOT allow you to review and revise your answers to questions at the end of a test. ·The actual MOUS Certification Exam allows you to use any feature of the real software (including online help), and only grades you correct or incorrect at the end of a question. In contrast, the Practice Test continues the simulation if you take correct steps, but will mark you incorrect immediately if you try to access a command that is not correct. (NOTE: Some questions in the MOUS exam will give you partial credit for answering part of a question correctly.) ·The actual MOUS Certification Exam requires you to specify that you have completed answering a question after you have performed the requested function. The Practice Test, however, will mark you correct or incorrect immediately once a function has been performed correctly or incorrectly. ·While the Practice Test covers the same skill sets and features as the actual MOUS Certification Exam, specific questions will obviously be different between the two tests. In addition to understanding the differences between the MOUS Certification Exam and the Practice Test, you can follow other suggestions and tips below that will prepare you for official MOUS Certification. 2.Test-Taking Suggestions and Tips When you take the actual MOUS Certification Exam, keep in mind the following suggestions and tips: ·Read each question carefully, paying close attention to how a question is worded. Test questions are carefully worded to specify the task you must perform, without giving away the answer in the question text itself. It is recommended that you read each question twice, before trying to answer. ·Perform the function exactly as asked. Be particularly careful to type specified text exactly as it is presented in the question. In a question that asks you to perform a function AND type text, you can be marked incorrect if you perform a function correctly but type the text incorrectly. For example, if a question asks you to type a bulleted list, you can be marked incorrect if you create a bulleted list correctly but make a typo when entering specified text for the bulleted list. ·Answer each question as if you were presenting the final screen to a human administrator who will evaluate your final result. The computer is performing the task of a human administrator and grading your final result automatically. Because automatic grading may be less forgiving of subtleties or typos than a human being, be extra careful to only indicate that you have completed a question when the screen displays exactly what the question specifies. ·The MOUS Certification Exam is timed and most questions have equal value (although some questions provide partial credit for answering part of a question correctly). In general, you should answer as many questions as you can as quickly as possible. ·Remember that in the actual MOUS Certification Exam, you are using the real software. While all features are available to you when taking the test (including online help), you should answer questions quickly and in a straightforward fashion. Trying different program features before answering the question can result in an incorrect answer and will certainly cut into the time you have to complete the entire timed test.
