BEFORE YOU START
Your Microsoft Word questions, answered.
Do candidates use Microsoft Word during the test?
This is a question-based Microsoft Word knowledge assessment, rather than a task completed inside the software. Add a practical work sample when the role needs evidence of hands-on performance.
Which Microsoft Word topics should matter for my role?
Start with the work the person will do. This page covers document formatting, editing & reviewing, working with document tools. Decide which of those areas matter for your role before reviewing results, and explore any specialist requirements separately.
Can I combine Microsoft Word with other tests?
Yes. Add Microsoft Word alongside other relevant tests in one assessment. Choose the combination for your role and review the total time before inviting candidates.
Can I assess real candidates for free?
Yes. Create your account, build an assessment and invite candidates. Your first 5 candidate results are free. No credit card is required.
What happens after my free results?

How should I use the Microsoft Word results?
Compare results against the knowledge or ability your role needs. Use them to focus interviews and practical tasks, alongside relevant experience. A test score should not decide who you hire on its own.
