A passing score is 70% or higher. This is obtained by answering at least 56 out of 80 questions correctly. The exam has 90 questions; however, there are 10 pilot questions that are for research purposes only. The e-Certificates fulfill American National Standards Institute (ANSI) requirements for the ServSafe Food Protection Manager Certification. Learn more here: eCertificate FAQs. Attendees who do not pass the exam may retake the exam up to three times in a 12-month period (additional fees will apply).

Exam scores and e-Certificates will be available on the ServSafe website – they are not provided by AHA.
