The Microsoft Office exam is zoomed in too much
I am trying to take the Microsoft Office exam and the page is not displaying everything correctly.
The issue is due to the computer screen size you use when taking your exam.
-
Laptop or desktop: follow the instructions to adjust your screen size according to your device's operative system (OS) and/or browser.
-
Tablet or smartphone: please close out of the test and launch your exam using a laptop or a desktop.
You will want to check your computer's Scaling and Resolution:
You will want to adjust your device scale to be at 100% by following the instructions below:
For Windows Computers:
- Click on the "Start menu" button on your computer's Taskbar
- Click on the "Settings" tab
- Click on "System"
- Click on Display
- Scroll down to "Scale and Layout"
For Mac computers/MacBooks:
- Click on the Apple menu icon
- Go to System Settings
- Click on Display
- The resolution will be displayed under the computer image next to "Looks like..."
For Chromebooks:
- Click on the clock in the bottom right corner of your screen
- Click the gear icon (Settings)
- In the Settings menu, click on Device
- Select Displays
- Look for the "Display Size" section.
- The resolution is usually displayed in the format "Width x Height" (e.g., 1366 x 768)
This will tell you your computer's scale and layout. You will want to ensure that your computer's Resolution is at least 1440 x 900, and your Scaling is at 100%
An alternative option is to adjust the zoom within your browser to 75 - 90%. This will allow the test to display correctly while taking the exam. Below are instructions on how to adjust your Zoom in your browser:
In Chrome/Edge:
- Click on the three dots in the right-hand corner of the browser
- Go down to the zoom tool
- Click on (-) or (+) to readjust the size of the screen
In Firefox:
- Click on the three lines in the right-hand corner of the browser
- Go down to the zoom tool
- Click on (-) or (+) to readjust the size of the screen
