Yeah...not possible. It's like trying to learn a new language in a day. You can pick up a little, but until you use it everyday for at least 6 months, you won't know shit.

 

buy a 'for dummies' book. that should get you to the somewhat expert level...

"...the art of good business, is being a good middle man, putting people togeather. It's all about honor and respect."
 

Get a book about Excel and open it when you get the test and browse the contents. Of course you should read it a little first. I did this and passed one test, but it was 20 questions and 30 seconds per question. So it depends on how much time you have, or is it just 1 question, 30 seconds? I think that seems really hard. Good luck!

The one I have is 11 pretty advanced format changes that have to be finished in 30 seconds.
