Microsoft Access Beginner Level 1 Quiz
One of the things I've been wanting to do for the longest time is to put together quizzes for my various courses. I'm not sure if you've noticed, but I recently started doing them with the TechHelp videos as a test.
Now that AI is becoming very helpful, I can feed the transcript of my videos into the AI, and it can put together a quiz for me based on the material presented. Just today, I decided to feed all the videos from Access Beginner Level 1 into this quiz generator, and here's what it came up with.
Whether or not you've watched Access Beginner 1, give this quiz a try and see how well you do.
Post your score below in the comments.
The next step is to build an actual online quiz taker that will give you a score, but for now, you'll find the answers below each section.
(Yes, Alex, I know you've built one - but you know how I am with integrating things into the website. LOL)
And once again, these questions are AI generated. If you find any that are wrong, don't make sense, or aren't related to the video topic at hand, then please post a comment and let me know. I gave it a quick read-thru, but I haven't taken the quiz myself yet. Thanks.
