Live Application Testing
Microsoft® Office Specialist exams use "live" or real Microsoft Office applications to provide the most direct and authentic evaluation of your Office knowledge, skills and abilities. This method of testing requires that several software components run simultaneously: the operating system (i.e.; Microsoft Windows), Microsoft Office and specialized examination software. While every effort is made to ensure that these components operate harmoniously, in certain circumstances the computer on which you are taking the exam may stop responding or produce an error message.
In anticipation of such difficulties, the examination software saves your responses (answers) as you complete each question. If you experience a computer interruption, notify the testing center administrator immediately to restart your exam. When the exam is restarted, the software will return to the point in the exam where you were interrupted and will retain both your score and keep your remaining time intact.
We apologize should any such interruption occur, but believe that the use of "live" Microsoft Office applications provides the optimal measurement of your ability when compared to examination alternatives.
