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

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.

The Basic version is meant to only measure basic knowledge and skills. Advanced topics are not included in this version.

Note that while this 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.
