Prove it! Excel - taken it?

Anybody here taken the Prove it! Excel test? I have to take one (I think it's the advanced one) and I'm wondering if anything particular will trip me up. Also, I've completed Breaking Into Wall Street's Excel course...is that good prep?

Novice and Advanced.

There's a combined one as well, which combines questions from both tests.

FYI, you can't use keyboard shortcuts in any of the tests.

 

Armistice - thanks a bunch, and I'll look into the training course.

EP - no shortcuts?! That's all I've been using to learn on BIWS! If that inhibits my test taking, I'm just gonna tell them to bite me and that shortcuts are superior.

 

Friend of mine works for a staffing agency in NY and is trying to place me in a temp position with JPM. Was wondering if anyone can give me insight on the exam? What should I familiarize myself with, or a website that has a tutorial? Anything helps, thanks.

PS: I saw someone mention that you can "open up the real excel and figure things out from there" Could you explain that a little more?? Thanks everyone!
