Hi, there

I know there’s the field of study “Computer Science”, but what do you say when you want to study, like, basic computer skills, say, for a test? Like using excel, power point, etc? Do you call it “computer basics”, “computer literacy” or “computer skills”? Or none of these?

Example: “Tomorrow I need to study computer skills/basics for my test next week”?

Thank you!

Answer

What is the name of the class you are taking? If it is basic computer skills, then you need to study basic computer skills for your test. or “Tomorrow I need to study for my basic computer skills test next week”

Answer

"Tomorrow I need to study basic computer skills" is fine. 
If you want to make it more specific to power point and and excel etc... you can say:
"Tomorrow I need to study basic computer productivity skills" or something similar
If it was a more advanced test of course you can say:
"Tomorrow I need to study for an advanced computer skills exam"
