typing involves about 6 seperate tests, word and excel are both very old formats and involve you doing the task specified.

Hi Armai, I can comment on the Excel, Word and Access. Be prepared to stay at least 2 hours for all 3 tests. If you know the basics to Word (i.e., opening, closing document, saving document, Mail merging, Headers/Footers (installing page #s, etc., you should be good to go. EXCEL: Saving, Open/Close documents, Save, merge chart or graphs into Excel. It will then ask you to rename the document and reopen it and merge with a Word document; I recall it asked questions like, "how do you SAVE in Excel; well, you can chose the Icon or command keys.

Sorry, I am currently studying for the terminology. However, from my understanding, they allow you to take it four times. Someone else gave a good example on what to expect for the terminology. I tried to find it to paste it here so you all could see. Anyways, Good luck to us all and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hi Ms. Nicole,

I was wondering if you can give me some information about Kaiser's hiring process. I received an e-mail from Kaiser with a link to an Employment Application online. The application asked for references, work history, address history, SSN, and DL number. What would be the next step? Or do they send this kind of e-mail to everyone who applies at their website? Thank you in advance.

I just took the tests today and it really does depend on your skill level (at least for microsoft word, excel, and powerpoint) The tests can take up to two hours, but if you are familiar with using the programs, you can be in and out within an hour and 15 minutes.

Typing test: 6 different typing tests in which each is timed at 7 minutes (so 6 x 7 = 42 minutes of typing) with a break inbetween each of the tests. The topics centered on graduating, career choices, etc.... basically a typing test. Take online typing tests and you will be fine.

Each of the following tests below have 20 questions per section which range from basic to intermediate. You have 2 attempts to answer each question. Be VERY careful with these sections as there are no allotment for "misclicks."

Microsoft Excel 2003: I was caught with my pants down on this test and scored unacceptably in the bottom 20th percentile. Topics include: saving, opening/closing, forwarding via email, saving file as a template, subtraction from one cell to another, A SUMTOTAL for a chart, inserting a chart, Inserting a pie chart, hiding a column, sort data by descending order, type in a basic formula (=sum b2+b4), adding consecutive numbers in a column (select 3 rows above and then drag the bottom right black square to 3 rows below), create a pie chart for selected data, wrap text to center, conditional formatting, insert date & time into the excel sheet, changing the permissions so that others may edit the spreadsheet

Thank you for your feedback. I have to take all three tests this week and I'm trying to study the medical terms. What kind of terms are on the tests. I dont know if its about taking medication, body parts, types of surgery, etc. Can you please help me out? Thank you.

Hey everyone,

I just took the testing for the Sr. staff Asssitant position for Kaiser and it was HARD. You have 30 questions with 35 min. Excel is a little trick and so is WORD. I have 8 years of exp. in both systems and still got 8 wrong. In order to pass this test in "advanced" you must be able to get 80% on each test meaning you can only miss 6 questions. Although it sounds like a lot, it is difficult to do. Go in with a positive attitude and brush up on your skills before hand =) Good luck to all.

Do you remember which version you took 2003 or 2007? Do you remember the questions?
