IC3 Exam by Certiport
The IC3 (Internet and Computing Core Certification) is the basic IT (Information Technology) global certification. Basically, it certifies that you can do the following items. Given how prevalent computers are nowadays, smart first graders should be able to do these items.
- Use a computer to do basic tasks like the following items.
- Create a professionally looking letter or report.
- Create a spreadsheet to calculate a professionally looking budget or chart.
- Create a professionally looking presentation of a report or lesson.
- Create and use a database for an inventory or an account.
- Use the internet wisely for emails and visiting websites.
Here are some basic computer terminology that you need to know in order to pass the IC3 Key Applications part of the exam. The key to passing the exam is not to have a cavalier attitude in acquiring the substantial knowledge base needed to pass the exam. Based on my experience as a tutor, I believe the passing rate for passing any of the IC3 exam in the first try is 70% or lower. This is mainly because of the cavalier attitude of the IT students.
