Microsoft Office Specialist 2016 - Part 1: Outlook 2016

This is the 1st of the 2 elective exam (2nd is Access 2016).
Also the 1st of 3 of the solo series.

I did a practice test and I found it easy because this was a skills transfer from the Outlook 2013 which I am certified in.

In the exam, it had some interesting task which was very tricky but I manage to learn and overcome very quick because you have to think about the exam time limit.

Also this exam is based on classic task question which is the last as the rest will be project based exams.

If anyone got certified in Outlook 2013, this should be simple to pass as you have the skill set to do so.

Microsoft Office Specialist 2013 Grand Slam Champion

Now I have passed all 11 exams in the Office 2013 Series I can now call myself the Office 2013 Grand Slam Champion.

When I work hard to get the MOS Master 2013. I said to myself “How about I go further to get the 

Solo exams to gain the Grand Slam.” And I did.

It was a long and a great journey it took to pass all of them. To the destination got passed them all. I really enjoyed it every one of them, there were few attempts on the Experts of Word and Excel to 

learn the greater knowledge.

I am also proud of my achievement to become what I am and to get here.

Now the next stop is MOS Office 2016 as there are 7 exams in this one.

Microsoft Office Specialist 2013 - Part 7: SharePoint 2013

This is last of the 5 solo exam series and the final exam of the Office 2013 Series

I did a lot of learning about SharePoint as I know a bit about it.

I did a lot of practice on understanding SharePoint and some exam preparation for this test.

The best tool I use to study and practise this I use Office 365 Exchange. Since I got my own Office 365 package I done practising on the Web Site.

Just like the previous exam (OneNote 2013) this is also based on double classic aka Task questions and multiple choice questions. This was a tricky exam but thanks to my Office 365 tool. I manage to pass.

Unlike the Server Side version of SharePoint where people use to do MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional) test, this is the Office Specialist version of SharePoint where you learn the Content Management Side of SharePoint.

This exam also plays a major part of Office 365, if anyone gained MCSE SharePoint (the certificate has retired) in the past, you get to learn both, Server and Content Management where you can do web development. For example, Intranet for company.

I may not need the Server Side as I will focus on Web Developing side as I for Office 365 Exchange for me to learn and build my own SharePoint.

Or maybe I can learn the Server Side of SharePoint in the future.

I got a lot to learn about SharePoint.

Microsoft Office Specialist 2013 - Part 6: OneNote 2013

This is 4th of the 5 solo exam series.

I did a lot of practice on OneNote as I rarely use the OneNote package.

I pass with a better score but I have done it.
The exam is based on double classic questions. Which basically means there were task based and multiple choice question.

After I pass this exam I never know realise how useful OneNote is when using it for work and I start utilising this for my work. Well I still got to learn.
