For example, Microsoft Word exam might ask a user to balance newspaper column lengths or keep text together in columns. How long does a typical exam last? A typical Microsoft Certified Application Specialist exam takes one hour or less. Examinees are measured on both knowledge and efficiency. Where can I find my exam results?
