MS PowerPoint 2019 (Office 365) - Basic

The MS PowerPoint 2019 (Office 365) - Basic skills test is a fast, easy way to confirm whether a candidate has an understanding of basic concepts underlying Microsoft PowerPoint 2019. 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.

The Basic version of our popular MS PowerPoint 2019 simulation-based assessment is meant to only measure basic knowledge and skills. Advanced topics are not included in this version.

Note that users of Office 365 utilize the latest versions of Microsoft Office products. For PowerPoint this is currently PowerPoint 2019.

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

Specific topics covered within the test include:

• Adding, removing, and reviewing comments
• Aligning, distributing, and rotating objects
• Changing slide background
• Collaborating with others
• Conducting slide shows
• Configuring slide transitions
• Displaying rulers and gridlines
• Editing slide notes
• Grouping objects
• Inserting objects
• Manipulating text
• Uses and capabilities of PowerPoint
• Using freeform drawing tools

The test consists of both text-based multiple choice and simulation-based performance questions, where the candidate is asked to perform tasks on a simulated MS PowerPoint 2019 interface.

Note that while the PowerPoint 2019 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.
