The MS PowerPoint (Office 365) skills test is a fast, easy way to confirm whether a candidate has an understanding of basic concepts underlying Microsoft PowerPoint. The test asks questions from a bank of questions for testing security purposes. HR Avatar periodically adds new questions to this bank to prevent cheating.

This test is fully mobile ready and operates on most modern mobile devices.

Specific topics covered within the test include:

• Adding animations
• Adding, removing, and reviewing comments
• Aligning, distributing, and rotating objects
• Applying shape effects
• Changing slide background
• Collaborating with others
• Conducting slide shows
• Configuring slide transitions
• Displaying rulers and gridlines
• Editing slide notes
• Embedding media within slides
• Grouping objects
• Inserting objects
• Manipulating text
• Saving files
• Uses and capabilities of PowerPoint
• Using freeform drawing tools
• Working with pens
• Working with themes

This non-interactive version consists of both text-based multiple choice and multiple correct answer questions. A software simulation is not included to ensure a smooth, uninterrupted testing process with no loss of measurement precision.

Note that while the PowerPoint skills assessment is a useful and efficient instrument for confirming a base level of skill or knowledge about this important topic, it is not intended to pinpoint the exact level of candidate or skill. We recommend that skills tests, like this one, be used in parallel with other measurements, such as cognitive ability, job fit, and behavioral history. Each different type of test provides a valuable piece of information you can use when evaluating potential job performance.
