WISE offers Standard and Expert level evaluations that quickly and accurately measure an individual’s skills with common Microsoft® Office programs.

All questions in WISE tests are presented as interactive simulations with realistic interfaces that respond just like the actual software. WISE score reports provide percentile scores for beginning, intermediate, and advanced items and looks at individual productivity by measuring the item response times.

Standard skills assessment modules have 30 to 35 items and take 20 to 35 minutes to complete. Expert modules contain 45 to 50 items and require 30 to 45 minutes to complete. WISE tests are easy to administer and you receive results via email within minutes.

Students can be tested at your location, directly from your website application or through an email invitation which links them to a prearranged administration. You can establish students’ skills at the beginning of your program and then assess improvement.

Teachers often use a Microsoft Office test, a Microsoft Word test or a test of other Microsoft software packages to establish student skill levels and document training effectiveness. WISE modules can also be used to test students’ skills in preparation for job interviews.
