Objective: 80% before moving to the next level.

5.1 · Recall

1. Before opening PowerPoint, what should you do for a decisive pitch?

Write the arc in 5 sentences on paper (situation → action) Choose a theme Search images Animate

If the story doesn't fit into 5 sentences, 40 slides won't save it: paper first.

5.1 · Application

2. Your titles read consecutively tell nothing (“Results”, “Part 2”). What to do?

Keep them Rewrite them into statements that alone tell the story Delete them Put them in 10 pt

The headline test: read consecutively, they must summarize the argument like an executive.

5.1 · Application

3. Which is a true ending?

“Thank you for your attention” alone A giant logo A dated call to action + next step + contact A black slide

“Thank you” is not an end: the public must know what to do on Monday morning.

5.2 · Application

4. Accessibility Checker shows 6 errors. Reflex?

ignore it Delete images Change software Correct: alt-texts, contrasts, reading order, up to zero errors

Zero errors = non-negotiable goal: every correction also helps dim projectors.

5.2 · Application

5. Alt text for a chart: what to describe?

“picture1” Its function (“Bars: satisfaction 6.9 → 7.8”), not its appearance Its color Nothing

Alt-text transmits the message of the visual to the screen reader, not its decoration.

5.2 · Application

6. Good/bad coded only in green/red. Issue ?

None Too many colors Color blind people don't see the difference: double by icon + label Not enough

Never color alone: icon, label or pattern always doubles the information.

5.3 · Application

7. Three co-authors without duplicates “FINAL-v3”. How ?

Round trip attachments Three separate files Paper A living OneDrive/SharePoint link + assigned sections + @mentions

A single living file, assigned sections, arbitration in comments: no more ghosts.

5.3 · Recall

8. What should be sent to the committee after validation?

The frozen PDF (the link remains alive for the rest) The editable link The draft Nothing

The link lives for the team, the PDF freezes the validated version for the committee.

5.3 · Application

9. Which one is prohibited as a team?

Comment with @mention Resolve processed comments Delete another's slide without comment View history

We propose, we do not delete the work of others without tracing: the team rule.

5.4 · Judgment

10. MOS Exam: What to Expect?

A theoretical multiple choice A dictation Nothing 35 practical tasks in a situation (build, not check), 700/1000

The MOS notes the result of the action: 1 task = 1 direct action, instructions read twice.

5.4 · Judgment

11. Your GMetrix blanks show weak “mask + timing”. What to do?

Replay targeted levels 2 and 3 until green Ignore Register tomorrow Learn by heart

The blanks diagnose: we target the weak areas with the levels in the guide.

5.4 · Judgment

12. Half of MOS failures come from a simple cause. Which ?

Stress An instruction read too quickly (reading it twice changes everything) The keyboard The room

Read twice: the exact instructions (where, what, how much) are worth more than a quick gesture.

5.1 · Recall

13. Which title is a message title rather than a label?

“Results” “Part 2” “Miscellaneous” “Launch times have fallen by 30%”

A title message affirms the conclusion; read alone, it already tells the story of the slide.

5.3 · Judgment

14. Two people must edit the same .pptx at the same time. Which solution is the most reliable?

Send two attachments and merge manually Print the file and annotate with pen Work on OneDrive or SharePoint with co-authoring Rename the file to FINAL-v3 before sending

Co-publishing on OneDrive or SharePoint avoids divergent copies and keeps a version history.

What's next?

Replay the launch project from start to finish.
