Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. You create a free account so your results are saved — no card needed.

How long does it take?

About ten minutes: nine tasks, one in each skill area.

I have an Excel test for a job interview. Will this help?

It shows you which skill areas are weakest so you can practise those first — lookups and SUMIFS come up in most interview tests.
