Exam MO-200 earns the Microsoft Office Specialist: Excel Associate (Office 2019) certification, administered by Microsoft and delivered through Certiport. It is a 50-minute, performance-based exam in which candidates complete about 5-7 project files (roughly 30 tasks) inside Excel 2019, scored out of 1000 with 700 required to pass; the voucher costs about US$100. The exam covers five skill areas weighted roughly evenly: managing worksheets and workbooks, managing data cells and ranges, managing tables and table data, performing operations with formulas and functions, and managing charts. Because the live exam is hands-on rather than multiple choice, this 100-question bank is multiple-choice knowledge revision that tests the same skills, terminology and function results so you can confirm what each task should do before practicing it live in Excel.
