Microsoft Office Specialist 2016 - Part 3: PowerPoint 2016

This is the last of 3 of the solo series.

This exam was very easy to pass because it is not much different between the 2013 to a 2016 version and learned a lot from the PowerPoint 2013.

Few trick questions but I manage to know then quickly.

I have passed with flying colours as I was aiming towards almost the maximum score (1000 points) but not always the case.

Now I have completed the elective and the solo stages.

All I got left are the 2 Doubles – Word and Excel 2016. Both Core and Expert.
I may be half way towards the MOS Master and Grand Slam but Word and Excel are the main event of the exams.

Exams required:
77-729 – MOS PowerPoint 2016 (Core Presentation Design and Delivery Skills)

Microsoft Office Specialist 2016 - Part 2: Access 2016

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

I unlike Office 2013 exams where you do one project, you do multiple projects in one exam.

In the 2016 exams you have between 5 to 7 projects and between 4 to 7 tasks in each project.

As usual I cannot go deep into the subject because of the usual NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) rules.

In the exam, some tasks were easy and some are tricky but have to overcome task as the time is ticking. The format had some glitches which I could not so but I somehow resolve this. If I did not I would of got a lot of wrong answers and fail. If I did fail the exam due to glitch then I would definitely make a complain about it.

I have passed and score over 800 points (not saying the exact score so I put the nearest 100 on this one.

I have learn something new skills during the exam which I did not know about which is interesting.

Since I have pass both Outlook and Access which means I have completed both of the elective exams, even I need one to get the MOS Master I rather get 2 so I can aim towards the Grand Slam with the MOS Master.

Exams required:
77-730 – MOS Access 2016 (Core Database Management, Manipulation, and Query Skills)
