If you scored above 16 points on this section, you probably have the skill level you need.
If you scored between 10 and 15, you seem to have a significant amount of familiarity but we suggest you continue to give yourself opportunities to work with a computer and become even more familiar with that particular aspect**.
If you scored below 10, you need to get additional training and/or practice**.
