Test Your Excel Skills
Most Excel skills tests are multiple choice — pick the right answer from four options, without ever touching a formula bar. That's not a real test of whether you can actually use Excel at work. A genuine skills check means typing a real formula into a real spreadsheet and seeing instantly whether it calculates correctly.
Worked example
=VLOOKUP(D2, A2:B10, 2, 0)A working VLOOKUP tells you more about your actual Excel skill than any quiz question about it
What a real Excel skills test should cover
Core formulas (SUM, IF, COUNTIF/SUMIF), lookups (VLOOKUP, INDEX MATCH, XLOOKUP), text manipulation (LEFT/RIGHT/MID, TRIM), error handling (IFERROR), and at least one pivot-table or conditional-formatting task — the skills that come up in day-to-day analyst and office work, and the ones interviewers actually check for.
Test yourself the same way employers do
Excel Practice Lab's lessons are exactly this: real spreadsheet exercises across every one of those areas, graded on whether your formula produces the right result — the same bar a real job would hold you to.
