It is composed of a mix of 35 questions, including multiple-choice, interactive, and live in-the-application questions, and lasts 1 hour. The algorithm adapts to each answer of the candidates to adjust the difficulty level of the questions until they reach the exact definition of the candidates’ level by calculating the limit of their skills. Candidates receive a numeric score out of 1000 points associated to a proficiency level on a five-level scale. Candidates who score between 1 and 550 points don't earn the certification. They will not receive a diploma but a certificate of completion. Candidates who score 551 points or above earn the certification.

Prepare For Your Certification Exam

To prepare for exam day, we recommend learners:

• Take at least one Tosa assessment test prior to their exam
  The Tosa assessment test helps acquaint learners with the testing platform. Like the certification exam, it is an adaptive test composed of a mix of multiple choice, interactive, and live in-app questions. It takes approximately 40 minutes to complete and does not need to be taken under proctored conditions. Results are delivered on the same 1-to-5 proficiency level scale and include detailed skills reports to help learners identify their skill gaps before taking the certification exam.
• Utilize the free practice tests available on our website
  In addition to our Tosa assessment tests, we offer short practice tests for free.
• Take a Tosa-aligned course in the Isograd Learning Platform
  The Isograd Learning Platform is a sophisticated courseware solution designed to help learners prepare for Tosa certification exams. It offers a personalized, self-paced, and fully interactive learning experience that will help learners maximize their Tosa score and gain the digital skills employers are looking for.
  
  To achieve a productive level or higher for a Tosa certification, learners must have an average of 150 hours of training and hands-on experience with Microsoft 365 Collaborative Tools. Actual hours depend on their pre-existing skills and knowledge, the expected outcome for the certification (score/level), and the provider/learning content and modality (instructor led, online, self-paced, etc.).
