Hey everyone,

I’m scheduled for an interview tomorrow afternoon via help from a temp agency. They made me do an Excel assessment test which I originally have intermediate skills. This 25 question assessment was difficult…..basically I looked up the answers to more than half the questions. I only got a few wrong which made me appear I have strong Excel skills.

The recruiter told me I was selected by the client primarily because of my Excel skills. The client doesn’t want to spend too much time going over Excel with the temp hire. I don’t have time to go over any Excel tutorials today so tomorrow morning is my only chance.

Should I go over the tutorials tomorrow morning or call the temp agency and “confess” that my assessment results is a fraud?

I think you'll be fine.

In real life, you are able to figure out how to do most things on excel through writing it in google.

In case anyone wanted an update:

I went to the interview. It wasn't as terrible as I expected. The position basically extracts a large amount of data and makes it readable (Pivot tables I suppose). It required use of that, V-Lookup, and IF-THEN statements. Nothing extremely difficult.

I don't think I got the position but I'm glad I went anyway. I know if I am ever given a difficult assessment test, to not research on it so it can be more realistic score.
