You are not required to complete a practice test before you take this exam. The ethos of the Test Fest is to come and have a go. Though, we do encourage you to do prior learning and practice tests beforehand to increase your chances of passing. If you are unable to access our practice tests on GMetrix and need to use a redemption code, please sign up to MOS for a redemption. The learning materials we recommend are on LinkedIn Learning. Find out how to activate your student LinkedIn Learning account.

FAQS

What if I want to do learning on the day prior to taking the exam?

You are welcome to do so. We are not providing any dedicated space for learning during Test Fest due to limited staff capacity. We are using Charles Street for the exams, so feel free to use any of the communal spaces in that building or elsewhere or go to Adsetts. We will be around if you wanted to come and chat to us about how to access your learning or any issues you are having with GMetrix etc.

I am keen to do my MOS exam, but I am not available on 3rd June

We run regular exams throughout the year up until July 2025. You are welcome to book onto those exams. Be aware, that you do need to pass a practice test prior to attending our regular exams. Our testing events are aimed at giving the exams a go, which is why we waiver the practice test pre-requisite.
