I can use that slot of time and money to add another class and get out of there sooner. any help on what i need to know or what i need to study will be greatly appreciated. some information on helpful web sites and links etc things that stick out in your memory about things that was on your test. again thanks again for you help

Answer 1

You need to ask your school what areas the test covers. I know that we give a waiver exam and tell people the specific book we use for the questions on the exam - I'm assuming that they would have to give you similar information to be fair. Don't waste a lot of time asking others outside your school for information, because it is unlikely to be relevant.

Answer 2

When I did mine, I tested on Word, Power Point, Excel, general computer knowledge and internet.
I had to know basic terms, URL, RAM, hard drive etc... internet part asked questions about browser, bookmarks - common knowledge stuff.
Word and Power Point were very easy - although I do have a lot of experience with both... I've never been taught how to use either of them. Excel was a bit harder, only because I haven't used it as much - but I basically had to make a graph and a chart and then insert it into another document. Seems like I had to label the stuff and maybe change the labels on one that was already made.
On Word, I had to change and set tabs, margins, layout... inserted word art, pictures, hyperlinks etc... Power Point - I don't remember...
Play around with all the programs if you have them...
Good luck!
