Thanks, bro, I needed to know that! Have my Excel Expert exam soon coming.

[@Brendan_Sinclair]

I'm glad to hear this! Keyboard shortcuts are going to be very useful on the Excel Expert exam. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@OutworldsKiller]

Hello Brendan, I just applied to MOS Excel 365-2019 CORE (Friday, the 05th November, 2021) and I followed your wise advise. I used the keyboard for doing some tasks and I got a high score and the only shorcut didn't work was F5, maybe because I took the online exam. Thanks for your great advise.

[@brandotec2038]

Yes now I can use this to my advantage I take this tomorrow thanks!

[@georgebradley4583]

The ‘CTRL - Z’ shortcut saved me many times during the real exam.

[@Brendan_Sinclair]

Shortcuts are the way to go. I can't image life without them. :)

[@userme2803]

I am curious, what do you do for living? Thanks for your videos, they are very good.

[@Brendan_Sinclair]

@Userme I’m a teacher. The majority of my courses involve teaching Microsoft Office. I’m thankful you like the videos.

[@chaitanyapushkar6782]

My exam is in the coming week. Just a question...Can we use the "tell me" feature in the Certification Exam??

[@Brendan_Sinclair]

@chaitanya pushkar you ask a great question. I do not believe that this feature is supposed to be available on the exam. However, I have seen this feature available on a few of my exams. I prepare as if it won’t be there.

I have to participate Microsoft office specialist on march, I want you to advise about preparing before the competition and I'm training Microsoft Word. I wish you to make a video about Microsoft word😀😁 or expert level such as: macro, table of authority, mail merge and etc😂😂 the hardest when I exam with console 8 😭😭

[@Brendan_Sinclair]

Here is a video that I created where I talk about the Word exam. ruclips.net/video/g7OH-yxzfRw/видео.html. I also have a few videos where I cover different GMetrix Practice Exams. They might be of use to you. The Word playlist is here ruclips.net/channel/UCGJWvOQnqN17JVLqsk-GqZgplaylists?view=50&view_as=subscriber&shelf_id=1&sort=dd and the Word Expert playlist is here ruclips.net/channel/UCGJWvOQnqN17JVLqsk-GqZgplaylists?view=50&view_as=subscriber&shelf_id=4&sort=dd. I will add your requested content videos to my list for future videos.

JCBK i have it tomorrow wish me luck !

[@jodicamps5693]

My understanding was that you don't get as many points unless you use the ribbon. Is this something that changed?

[@Brendan_Sinclair]

@jodi Camps I have never heard that before. I’ve been able to earn a few perfect scores on various MOS exams while using keyboard shortcuts.

[@jodicamps5693]

Brendan Sinclair thank you for replying! That could make my life so much easier! Your videos have been so helpful. Keep up the good work. I really appreciate it!

[@nayanghimire5663]

@@Brendan_Sinclair I have heard about that in the Gmetrix-paid videos.
They often say " to keep it safe lets use ribbon" or "it could be that u may not receive full marks for using the shortcut key here".
I developed a habit of using shortcut key that enabled me to do some tasks quickly but now the risk of not using the ribbon is pretty much filling me up with anxiety.
