What the IC3 Exam Covers
Computing Fundamentals
This module tests your knowledge of hardware types including desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices.

Key Applications covers three major productivity suites. In word processing, you must know how to create, edit, and format documents, apply styles, and perform mail merges. For spreadsheets, you are tested on formulas and functions, charting, and the difference between absolute and relative cell references. Presentation skills include slide design principles, transitions, and animations.
Living Online
Living Online addresses how people connect and communicate digitally. Topics include internet fundamentals such as browsers and URLs, email protocols (SMTP, POP3, IMAP), effective search strategies, social media literacy, and digital citizenship.
