A practice test is for meeting your weak spots while it still costs nothing. That only works if it asks you to do what the real test asks: write the formula, filter the list, build the summary, not pick an answer from four. Take the mock test below in one sitting, then use the rest of this page to turn the result into a short study plan.
Free · nothing to install · your level when you finish
Most free Excel practice tests are quizzes with an answer key: read the question, pick an option, check the key. That rehearses recognition, which is not what many employer tests measure any more. Simulations mark the task you perform, and live interview exercises mark the task and how fluently you do it. A rehearsal that skips the doing prepares you for the wrong exam.
So a mock test worth your time makes you do the work in a spreadsheet, and adjusts its difficulty so it spends its questions near your limit rather than on tasks you'd always pass.
Your level shows when you finish; a free account adds the skill map, with the skills you hold and the ones that slipped. Match the slipped ones to a practice page, each a graded exercise in the same kind of spreadsheet. The skills employer tests come back to most often: lookups, conditional sums, IF logic, pivot tables, and sorting and filtering.
Rather rehearse offline, in Excel itself? The practice datasets are downloadable workbooks with task sheets, to work through at your own pace.
Expect the skills to carry over and the format to differ. An employer's test may run longer, time each question separately, or be multiple choice, and a simulation may not support every shortcut your fingers rely on. Skills are the slow part, so build those here. Format is the quick part: reading the guide to the test you've been sent, the evening before, covers it. Start from the list of employer tests.
The best time to meet your score is before it matters. Take the mock run tonight and spend tomorrow on the skill it shows you're weakest at.
