SimNet is a hands-on practical examination of Microsoft Excel skills that is required for all students. It serves as a pre-requisite for certain CIS (Computer Information Systems) and STA (Statistics) courses as well as the Tier I Technology requirement for graduation.

The examination is done in a simulated environment which acts just like the Microsoft Excel application.

Additional information about the test and how to prepare for it can be found in the SimNet Study Guide. For sample questions, please visit the Simnet Sample Questions page.
