TOTAL SCORE Presentation Skills

Scoring: At the end of each part, total your points for that section, and based on the total, make a decision about whether or not you need to seek additional training in that area:

If you score above 16 points for any particular section, you probably have the skill level you need to use a computer in that area for your program.

If you score between 10 and 15, you seem to have a significant amount of familiarity but we suggest you continue to give yourself opportunities to work with a computer and become even more familiar with that particular aspect**.

If you score below 10, you need to get additional training and/or practice.
