“I failed the first time with a 79%. I took an extra 3 hours to go over the material again and finally passed with an 86%. However, the test questions were really hard and tricky. I'm already stressed out knowing that I have to do this again in 5 years and I just passed today!! The questions I got wrong were totally opposite to what the material says?? How is that fair??”
“I was very disappointed lately when attempting to recertify myself with Smart Serve. I took Smart Serve back in 2014 and passed with apparently 96% on the test according to my Smart Serve Ontario profile details. Lately I took an in-class session, it was one-on-one and only really needed 25 minutes to answer the 33 questions. I failed both times. I understood 90% of all the material and information covered in the training sessions, the questions are not so worded well in my opinion, but there should have been no reason why I didn't pass. I am 48 years old, with a lot of common sense, I am sure a lot of people have failed.”
“The materials along with the online videos are very helpful, however the test can be very deceiving at times, especially since this test has a passing minimum of 80%. Even after passing the test, there are some questions (such as the select all that apply ones) I still don't know the answer to. Even some online mock tests have the wrong answers, so take some time before doing the test to know that you're fully confident.”
