ExcelTips subscribers had quite a few suggestions on sites that you could check out. Here are a few ideas for sites to get you started, in no particular order."

Just look for "excel self test" or "excel skill test" (without the quote marks) to see what pops up. You should be able to tell after visiting the sites whether they offer something helpful for your needs or if they are just there to try to sell you something.
