Exam MO-300 earns the Microsoft Office Specialist: PowerPoint Associate (Office 2019) certification. The official exam is a 50-minute, live, performance-based test in which candidates complete 40 to 60 tasks inside a working copy of PowerPoint, organised as projects. The standard MOS passing score is 700 on a 0 to 1000 scale, and the exam costs about US$100 depending on region and testing centre. Skills are grouped into five areas: manage presentations, manage slides, insert and format text/shapes/images, insert tables/charts/SmartArt/3D models/media, and apply transitions and animations. This 100-question bank is multiple-choice knowledge revision of those same skills, not a copy of the live in-application exam.

Try these sample questions to test your MO-300 exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1You want to change the background and font that appear on every slide layout at once. Which view should you open?
A.Slide Sorter view
B.Slide Master view
C.Reading view
D.Notes Page view
Explanation: Slide Master view (View > Slide Master) lets you edit the master and its layouts so that formatting such as fonts, colors and backgrounds applies across the whole presentation. Editing the top master slide cascades changes to all layouts.
2Which master controls the layout of printed pages that show multiple slide thumbnails per page?
A.Slide Master
B.Handout Master
C.Notes Master
D.Title Master
Explanation: The Handout Master (View > Handout Master) controls how printed handouts look, including how many slides per page, headers, footers and page orientation. It is separate from the Slide Master.
3To change a presentation from the standard 4:3 size to widescreen 16:9, which command do you use?
A.Design > Slide Size
B.Insert > Slides
C.Transitions > Effect Options
D.View > Zoom
Explanation: Slide size is set with Design > Slide Size, which offers Standard (4:3), Widescreen (16:9) and Custom Slide Size for exact dimensions. Choosing a size may prompt you to maximize or scale content.
4You want to save a presentation as a PDF so that the formatting cannot easily be changed by the reader. Which option produces a PDF?
A.File > Save As and choose PDF, or File > Export > Create PDF/XPS Document
B.File > Print > Print to default printer
C.File > Info > Protect Presentation
D.Insert > Object
Explanation: You can export a PDF either through File > Save As (selecting PDF as the file type) or File > Export > Create PDF/XPS Document. Both produce a fixed-layout PDF of the slides.
5Which feature lets you record the time you spend on each slide so the slide show can advance automatically using those timings?
A.Slide Show > Rehearse Timings
B.Slide Show > Set Up Slide Show
C.Review > Compare
D.Insert > Action
Explanation: Rehearse Timings (Slide Show > Rehearse Timings) runs the show while recording how long you spend on each slide. You can then save those timings so the show advances automatically.
6You want to present only slides 2, 4 and 6 to one audience without deleting the other slides. What should you create?
A.A custom slide show
B.A new section
C.A handout
D.A hidden master
Explanation: A Custom Slide Show (Slide Show > Custom Slide Show > Custom Shows) lets you build a named subset of slides in any order and present just that set, leaving the full presentation intact.
7Which tool checks a presentation for issues that make it hard for people with disabilities to read, such as missing alt text?
A.Accessibility Checker
B.Spelling
C.Compress Pictures
D.Document Inspector
Explanation: The Accessibility Checker (Review > Check Accessibility) scans the presentation and reports issues such as missing alternative text, low contrast and reading-order problems, with suggested fixes.
8Where do you edit document properties such as the presentation's Title, Author and Tags?
A.File > Info (Properties pane in Backstage view)
B.Design > Format Background
C.Insert > Header & Footer
D.View > Macros
Explanation: Document properties are managed in Backstage view under File > Info, where the Properties pane shows Title, Author, Tags and more. You can click Show All Properties or Advanced Properties for additional fields.
9A reviewer wants to leave feedback on a specific slide without changing its content. Which feature should they use?
A.Insert a comment

C.Add speaker notes
D.Apply a transition
Explanation: Comments (Review > New Comment, or the Comments button) attach reviewer feedback to a slide or object without altering the slide content, and others can reply to them.
10Which view displays the slide text as an indented outline so you can quickly type and rearrange titles and bullet points?
A.Outline view
B.Slide Sorter view
C.Reading view
D.Notes Page view
Explanation: Outline view (View > Outline View) shows slide titles and body text as an indented outline, making it fast to enter, promote, demote and reorder text content without using placeholders directly.

About the MO-300 Exam

Microsoft Office Specialist: PowerPoint Associate (Office 2019), exam MO-300, certifies that a candidate can create and manage PowerPoint presentations that meet professional standards.

MO-300 Study Tips from Top Performers

1Practise every skill directly in PowerPoint. The live exam is performance-based, so knowing the exact ribbon path (for example View > Slide Master) matters more than memorising definitions.
2Master the masters: learn the difference between the Slide Master, layouts under it, the Handout Master and the Notes Master, and what editing each one changes.
3Learn the Animation Pane well. Understand start options (On Click, With Previous, After Previous), duration, delay and how to reorder effects, because timing questions are common.
4Know the four animation categories: entrance, emphasis, exit and motion path, and which effect options each one offers.
5Practise media playback settings: Start (In Click Sequence, Automatically, When Clicked On), Loop until Stopped, Play in Background, Trim Video/Audio and Rewind after Playing.
6Get comfortable with accessibility and review tools: adding alt text, setting reading order, the Accessibility Checker, inserting and replying to comments, and editing presentation properties in Backstage view.
