Microsoft Office Specialist Program certification exams use a performance-based format testing a candidate’s knowledge, skills and abilities
using the Microsoft Office 365 and Office 2019 programs:
• Microsoft Office Specialist Program exam task instructions generally do not include the command name. For example, function names
are avoided, and are replaced with descriptors. This means candidates must understand the purpose and common usage of the program
functionality in order to successfully complete the tasks in each of the projects.
• The Microsoft Office Specialist Program exam format incorporates multiple projects as in the previous version, while using enhanced
tools, functions, and features from the latest programs.
