The audience profile for the Core Exam is a student, office worker or instructor who needs to navigate the Office software at the feature and functionality level.

Core users generate more complex slide shows, such as product plans, reports, and marketing materials. They create slide shows based on custom templates generated by others and frequently reuse slides. Their slides include more sophisticated data presented in visual formats, so these users need to be proficient with PowerPoint features that will enable them to manipulate these formats. Some core users work alone and others collaborate routinely with colleagues. Their presentations might be for small or large audiences, and they might be internal or external. These users need to be comfortable with pausing, moving back and forth, jumping to specific slides, drilling down to supporting data, and marking up slides.
