Excel test for interview: free practice with answers
What a Excel screening round looks like, five sample questions in the same style, and the full free test with every answer explained.
What the real round usually looks like
Most Excel interview tests are ten to twenty multiple-choice questions, sometimes followed by a short practical task. 80% on a 10-question test is the pass mark used here; it matches common screening levels for admin and accounts roles. Requirements vary by employer, so treat the benchmark as a floor.

Common questions
What Excel level do office jobs need?
References, SUM/AVERAGE, SUMIF/COUNTIF, VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP, sorting and filtering, and a basic pivot table cover most admin and accounts screenings.
Is this a practical test?
It is a knowledge test. Practical tests give you a workbook; the same functions come up, so the questions here prepare you for both.
Which version of Excel is assumed?
Any recent version. XLOOKUP is mentioned where it applies, but every answer also works with VLOOKUP.
