Excel Experts Certify vs. GMetrix
Same two Microsoft Office Specialist Excel exams, two different ways to practice for them. Here is what each one actually gets you — with a link to GMetrix's own page for every fact stated about GMetrix.

GMetrix and Excel Experts Certify both sell practice exams for the MO-210 (Excel Associate) and MO-211 (Excel Expert) Microsoft Office Specialist certifications. The single-exam price is identical on both — $40. Where they differ is what that $40 actually gets you: how many attempts, how many distinct exam versions, which platforms you can use, and how the exam is graded.
Every claim below about GMetrix links to the GMetrix page it came from and the date we last read it. GMetrix can change its pricing or features at any time; if something here looks out of date, that page is the one to check.
Feature by feature

| MO-210 Excel Associate practice | $40 — 10 full-length versions, 100 attempts, 1 year access | $40 — still listed under GMetrix’s retired "MO-201" title on the MO-210 URL; attempt count and exam count are not published on this listingSource, verified 2026-09-11 |

Ten versions, not three
A fixed set of practice exams gets memorized, not mastered. Every Excel Experts Certify plan includes 10 independently built versions per exam — different scenario, different data, different task order.
Works where you work
Grading reads the workbook file you upload, not your operating system, so the practice exams run on Windows or Mac.
Our exams work on Mac because grading reads the workbook file, not your operating system. The one caveat: MO-211 (Excel Expert) includes a macro (VBA) task, and VBA support is limited on Mac Excel, so we recommend Windows specifically for that exam. MO-210 has no such caveat.

Comparison FAQ
Is Excel Experts Certify affiliated with GMetrix?
No. GMetrix is a trademark of its own owner. We reference GMetrix's publicly listed prices and features only to compare them with ours; Excel Experts Certify is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by GMetrix in any way.
Can I take these practice exams on a Mac?
Yes, for both exams. GMetrix's own MO-211 listing requires Windows only; ours works on Windows or Mac because grading reads the workbook file you upload rather than depending on your operating system. One exception: MO-211's macro (VBA) task has limited Mac Excel support, so we recommend Windows for that exam specifically.
Why does GMetrix only offer 3 practice exams?
That's what GMetrix's own MO-211 listing states: 3 Practice Exams and 3 Skill Reviews, reused for the length of your one-year license. We build 10 independently authored versions per exam instead — a different business scenario, data and task order each time — so repeating the exam is still new practice, not memorization of the same file.
Does GMetrix require any special software?
Yes. GMetrix's own system requirements list a full desktop installation of Excel 365 plus GMetrix's own SMS software, on Windows only (Vista through 11) — mobile and web versions of Excel are explicitly unsupported.
How is my exam graded?
You download the starter workbook, complete the tasks in your own Excel, and upload it back. We grade the actual file you submit, task by task, out of 1000 points, with feedback on exactly what you got right or missed — the same scoring shape as the real MOS exam, where 700 is the usual pass mark.
