Skills inventory for Excel: Basic

Use the following form to gauge students skill level entering the class (students have copies in the
introductions of their student manuals). For each skill listed, have students rate their familiarity from 1
to 5, with five being the most familiar. Emphasize that this is not a test. Rather, its intended to provide
students with an idea of where theyre starting from at the beginning of class. If a student is wholly
unfamiliar with all the skills, he or she might not be ready for the class. A student who seems to
understand every skill, on the other hand, might need to move on to the next course in the series.
