Exam overview
About the Exam MO-300: Microsoft PowerPoint (Office 2019) Exam
PowerPoint work combines slide structure with precise control of individual objects. A layout determines the placement of title and content placeholders, while alignment tools help position titles, text boxes, shapes, and images consistently. Grouping lets related objects move together without merging their contents; sections help organize long decks in the editing interface. Editing also involves formatting text and shapes, adjusting bullet levels, and cropping images to focus attention. For data displays, the chart’s source data determines plotted values and category labels, so knowing how to open and update it matters. Animation choices affect how objects enter, change, or move during a slide show; a motion path controls an object’s movement along a defined route. Practicing these decisions can help prepare you to create, revise, and present clear, well-organized slide decks.
Sample Practice Questions
Review a selection from this exam's published US Practice Tests practice bank.
You want to create a slide that contains only a blank canvas, without preset title or content placeholders. Which slide layout should you choose?
Show answer

You want a slide title and body text to line up neatly with consistent edges. Which feature helps position objects relative to one another or the slide?
Show answer
Correct answer: AAlignment commands position selected objects in relation to each other or to the slide, helping create clean, consistent layouts.
You have a chart and need to change the values or category labels that supply its plotted data. Which command opens the chart’s underlying data for editing?
Show answer
Correct answer: AEdit Data opens the chart’s source data, typically in an embedded Excel worksheet, where values and labels can be changed.
You want a rectangular shape to have rounded corners instead. Which approach is most suitable?
Show answer
Correct answer: AA rounded rectangle is a shape type with curved corners; changing the shape type is the direct way to achieve that appearance.

Preparation tips
- Create sample slides with different layouts, then compare how placeholders affect title and content placement.
- Practice aligning and grouping text boxes, shapes, and images; confirm that grouped objects move together while remaining individually editable.
- Open a chart’s source data and change a value and a category label, then check how each change appears in the chart.
- Try cropping a picture, changing a shape’s appearance, and formatting text; identify the command used for each edit.
- Build a short slide deck with sections, nested bullet levels, and a motion-path animation, then inspect the result in editing and slide-show views.
