Eric Butow - MCA Microsoft Office Specialist (Office 365 and Office 2019) Study Guide

Start by taking the Assessment Test after this introduction to see how well you know PowerPoint already. Even if you've been using PowerPoint for a while, you may be surprised at how much you don't know about it.

Next, read each chapter and go through each of the exercises in the chapter to reinforce the concepts in each section. When you reach the end of the chapter, answer each of the 10 Review Questions to test what you learned. You can check your answers in the appendix at the back of the book.

If you're indeed taking the exam, then there are two other pedagogical tools that you can use: Flashcards and a Practice Exam. You may remember flashcards from when you were in school, and they're useful when you want to reinforce your knowledge. Use the Flashcards with a friend or relative if you like. (They might appreciate learning about PowerPoint, too.) The Practice Exam will help you further hone your ability to answer any question on the real exam with no worries.
