  1. Missed 5 and 6. I knew 5 but somehow clicked wrong. Still 80% isn’t bad!

  2. ttt says:

    hell i got 30

  3. Emmanuel says:

    Hmm, i think these questions were from Martin’s interview talking about Adobe’s certification.
    What a fantastic teacher you are, they way you explain and talk about anything related to design sounds so natural.
    I think the most painful part is to remember all the keyboard shortcuts,i was thinking lately to give it a try for the certification expertise

  4. Kalyma says:

    Wow, 10 years of expertice and still something I don’t know xDD 70% scored! =D

    Nice quizz =D

  5. Rafa says:

    Missed #1?!?!?! I can’t change the opacity of multiple selected layers… I am using CS4 though, is this something that is possible in CS5?

  6. Alex Parker says:

    Yea um cmd/ctrl does NOT let me use free transform when in perspective mode… i’m on CS5.

    Otherwise awesome quiz! I didn’t know a couple of them and they were actually really helpful to find out! (H+click = awesome!)

  7. trevor says:

    I don’t suppose 60% is a pass mark!!!!

  8. James says:

    The test is not showing up on my iPad.

  9. kirk3d says:

    Passed it.

    I think these are less a measurement of Photoshop proficiency, but more of obscure Photoshop trivia.

    I’ve led teams of graphic designers and during interviews I would never dream of asking applicants what filter doesn’t work on a Smart Object. But I WOULD give them a photo and ask them to extract the flyaway hair from the background.

    One is trivial knowledge

    the other is a useful skill

    Which is better to measure?

    • Anon says:

      And just exactly how do you propose to have someone extract flyaway hair here? :P

      It says ‘test Photoshop knowledge’ not expertise :P

  10. Marco says:

    Damn I scored 50% :(….lol there were a bunch I really didn’t know like the CAPS lock one…

  11. 80%. Missed 6 & 7. Nice quiz :D

  12. ÐX says:

    why don’t these quizzes work in IE?

  13. FalseKing says:

    90%, missed #7 but I still had a hunch about the right answer.

    Oh well, something learned. :D

    These are awesome Mr.Perhiniak, I’m planning on getting a certification in the next few months and these are a good example of what to expect.

    Thank you!

  14. Matthijs says:

    Loved this! Keep them coming, please.

    I got 60%, pretty low, I’d expected some more.

  15. Dave says:

    w00t 100% although some of the questions could have been written better.

  16. Trigger says:

    Missed #6 and #7, damn those shortcuts! :)

  17. illagraphics says:

    60%

    Hey guys,

    Grant forgot to say these questions are related to Photoshop CS5. Most of them are true in previous versions as well, but they are intended to be similar to the questions you will find in Adobe Certified Expert exams, and they are always written for the latest version of course.

    Good luck and I hope you will learn something useful!

    Cheers,
    Martin

  19. Fuaadh says:

    Had 100% in the previous exam and 80% on this one. Was a tad harder but thanks Martin! :)

    Is there any place where there is previous past papers for the photshop exam? Where I can prepare? I really want to give it a shot.

  20. salmanlp says:

    Missed 3 , 5 , 7.
    Got 70% fine i guess :)

  21. Gensael says:

    Am I just not seeing the quiz? Where exactly is the 10 question quiz?

  22. John says:

    90%! The first five were simple though – not because I’m at all knowledgeable, but because I remembered them from Martin’s interview. :)

    I learned something new from #6!

  23. Andrew says:

    70% any less and I would have cut myself off from Photoshop entirely…

  24. harry says:

    where are the questions?

  25. Rafay says:

    I got 90%! Amazing. Need more Photoshop quizzes. Thanks Martin!

  26. TheHugo says:

    Im 15 years old, using photoshop for 4 years, but in photoshop cs5 some of the answers can be different but still 80%, missed 1st and 5th question,but im proud of myself :D

  28. Rafael John says:

    cool, got 80% not bad,

  29. Matt says:

    Yes, 90%… I can’t believe that it was question 1 that caught me out though. Hmmm maybe I will look into the ACE business.

  30. Chanto says:

    I guess the answer of the first question is either wrong, or I can’t do it in CS4 :D

  31. zsolt says:

    Very good. Want more these kind of tests! My result was 70%. Missed 1/5/7…

  41. hi says:

    I liked this one better than the previous… Although I thought I would get a really bad score, like 50% or lower, but I got 70 % and was pleasantly surprised. I use CS3 and I was a bit confused by the first question as well, but I didn’t really know, so I just went with what seemed to make sense, lol.
    Oh, and btw, this is a great way to learn guys! It teaches things in a concise way! Thanks!

  42. DucksOnARailing says:

    80% here… missed 1 and 5 — based on some of the comments — looks like I might have missed 1 because I’m on CS4 instead of CS5

    Good quiz! Keep em coming! :)

  43. 70% … Nice test, need more quizzes \o/

  44. Rhydian says:

    Not sure this is really a good test on your photoshop skills tbh lol (scored 50%) but then I would think that :P

  45. Inderjeet says:

    oh no. i think i m expert in Photoshop & was ready for 100%. but my 50% marks break my all expectations :-(

  46. Great post, had to guess at some questions, .who would want to do that anyway
    Would be cool if they showed you which ones you got wrong. Looking for more quizzes like this.
    Thanks for sharing.
