Quote:A typical assessment consists of 15 multiple choice questions and each question tests at least one concept or subskill. The questions are timed and must be completed in one session.

If you can 'prove' you know Excel - no one will question if you know how to use Word or send an email in Outlook. So, if you're going to take one thing - take something on Excel. Plus the MS Certifications available for Office now aren't actually aimed at being able to use their products; more knowing how to manage, implement or utilize (not same as use) Office 365. -

This would be the the best match to what you're looking for (it is three courses, available as part of the coursera plus or month to month) - https://www.coursera.org/specializations/microsoft-365-fundamentals

This one, 'Excel Skills for Business Specialization', is available with as part coursera plus as well as month to month, making it quite affordable - https://www.coursera.org/specializations/excel

EDX has one too, 'Excel for Everyone', but I don't like the the use of the word 'everyone' in the title (sounds very entry level) and it costs more than the one above - https://www.edx.org/professional-certificate/ubcx-excel-for-everyone

I'm sure there are others similar to those I've listed above, but I figured you'd want something that was self-paced and offered a (shareable) certificate from a reputable source.  Also, if you have a .edu email it is almost certain you can obtain Excel (and the most common Office products) for free - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/education/products/office
