TOTAL SCORE Web Skills

|
 | 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**. |
