Sample MS Office and Computer Basics mock test questions

One question from each level, the way they appear in the test. A new set comes on the 1st of every month. Try it, then open the answer.

  1. EasyEmail and Etiquette

    Which is the best subject line for a job application email?

    • Application for Data Entry Operator - Neha Sharma
    • hello sir/madam please check my resume and reply soon thank you
    • Fwd: Fwd: resume_final_new(2).pdf
    • URGENT!!! Need job, please call me today
    Show the answer

    Answer: Application for Data Entry Operator - Neha Sharma. A good subject tells the reader what the mail is about before it is opened: the post you are applying for and your name. Vague or shouting subjects such as URGENT!!! look careless and may be ignored or marked as spam.

  2. MediumFile Types and Extensions

    Which statement about JPG and PNG images is true?

    • Both lose quality every time the file is opened
    • PNG supports a transparent background; JPG does not
    • Both can hold sound as well as the picture
    • JPG supports a transparent background; PNG does not
    Show the answer

    Answer: PNG supports a transparent background; JPG does not. PNG can store transparency and compresses without loss, so it suits logos, icons and screenshots. JPG uses lossy compression that keeps photos small but has no transparency, so a JPG logo shows a white box on a coloured slide.

  3. HardWord Formatting and Styles

    Section 2 of a document needs a different footer from section 1, but editing it changes section 1 too. What must be switched off?

    • Link to Previous in the footer of section 2
    • Show Document Text in the header of section 2
    • Repeat Header Rows in the first table of section 1
    • Different First Page in the footer of section 1
    Show the answer

    Answer: Link to Previous in the footer of section 2. New sections start linked to the previous section's header and footer, so edits flow back. Clicking Link to Previous in section 2's footer breaks the link, and then each footer can be edited on its own.
