Is it necessary for college students to take the Computer Level 2 and Level 3 exams?

I took the computer exam twice and failed both times; now I don’t have much confidence in taking it again. Do employers these days require graduates to have a certain level of computer proficiency?
It's fine as long as you pass Computer Level 2
That’s just a stepping stone; it’s useless after starting work. What’s really important is to become proficient in the common office software and internet skills
Everyone else has a computer, but you don’t – think about how that is. .
It’s great if one can do it naturally, but it’s not a problem either. I haven’t heard of anyone who can’t use a computer at a young age. However, it’s important to get familiar with the software related to work in advance, so that it’s easier to get started later on. One also keeps learning throughout work, so as long as one is careful, there will be progress every time, and the results will follow naturally
It’s certainly possible to do it without it, but the issue is that the second level is actually quite easy to pass; with some effort, it’s simple to succeed.
Some organizations require certification in computer skills, while others don’t. But it’s always better to have one more certificate than none; with a little effort, it should be easy to obtain it
Those studying chemical engineering usually only look at level 2 qualifications when looking for jobs; level 3 is rarely required
This is a good opportunity to improve one’s computer skills; passing the exam is another matter, as many organizations don’t seem to have any specific requirements. At the workplace, it doesn’t matter what certificates you have; what matters is your ability to solve problems.
