Designed to test an individual’s ability to perform tasks within a simulated Microsoft Windows desktop. The IT Literacy test has two levels and evaluates a candidate’s ability to navigate through a computer by using essential tools such as the file browser, the internet browser and change key settings within Windows 10. The simulated test platform is designed to closely mimic the look, feel and functionality of the original software. The functionality is fair to candidates in that it allows the tasks to be completed in a familiar way using menus, buttons, left clicks, right clicks and keyboard shortcuts in a way that they are most accustomed.
This test is appropriate for a candidate who is expected to use and maintain the computer autonomously given a typical office environment.
2 different levels of the IT Literacy Simulation assessment are available and can be used to test various levels of ability. These exam levels are Basic and Intermediate. The more challenging level will assess new skills covering new material, as well as expanding on exam criteria from the previous level.
The topics covered by the test include using file and Internet explorers, performing tasks which are required for more advanced file management and using the control panel.
