Office simulation assignments

Updated 27 Mar 2024

MyLab IT courses offer simulation assignments – activities you perform in a simulated environment, such as Microsoft® Word, Excel, Access, or PowerPoint.

Your instructor might assign simulations as homework, test, or quiz activities to evaluate your performance. It’s best practice to do office simulations on a computer or tablet.

  1. On your Course Home, open the assignment. The assignment preview window opens.

  2. Select Launch. The simulation environment opens.
  3. Read the question at the bottom of the screen and perform the task.

  4. Select Save to save your work and complete the assignment later.

    Important: You have unlimited attempts on homework assignments. If your second attempt score is lower than your first attempt score, a message shows with options to continue or discard. It's best practice to select Discard. If you continue, the lower score saves in the gradebook.

  5. Select Submit to submit your completed assignment.

Use the tools at the bottom of the simulation environment to:

  • Move to the previous or next question.
  • View the number of attempts remaining for the question.
  • View all questions.
  • Reset the question.
  • Use learning aids, if available.
  • Launch accessibility.
  • Launch the keyboard.
  • Test your internet connection.
  • Search the AskPearson.
  • Save and return to the assignment later, if available.
  • Submit your completed assignment.

After your instructor grades your assignment, you can see your score on your Results page. Select Review to see scores for individual questions.
