Advanced Excel Test – 2018 [CIA – 1]

Instructions:

1) Don’t attempt to cheat. If caught, there won’t be any second chances but direct
expulsion from being able to appear for the exam. We are not your teachers, so we
won’t be going easy.
2) All answers except the answer for question three should be on a piece of paper. For
the third question, show your answer to your column incharge.
3) If we confiscate your phones for using it today, you will only see it on OLX, eBay,
etc.
4) Don’t unnecessarily smile at the person sitting next to you; they may also not know
the answer. Moreover, exam hall is not the right place for networking.
5) Usage of internet on your laptops for “we do not care what” purposes is strictly
prohibited.
6) If you have missed any classes and/or not prepared for the examination, please don’t
waste your time, instead pray to God. 
7) It’s good to have a lot of beautiful options in life, but all questions are compulsory.
8) Exams are like your exes, try to get over it as soon as possible and you will be free to
leave the room.
9) May the Force Be With You!
