I got caught cheating during my Bare test. They were really nice about it. I felt rubbish. I got an email from the testing co a couple of weeks later saying my cheating would be kept on my record!

Brilliant :rotfl:

One would hope that your "record" is deleted after the company receive the report since they've commissioned us to cheat!

I was going through some old emails a few weeks ago, this client used to be with another company and what the fee is now in euro's it was the same amount in pounds!

You should ask Bare to notify them that you were an MS. You dont want anything bad kept on record. Unless you used a false name and address etc. You never know where this kind of info can end up.

Call me slightly paraniod if you will but I'd be a bit worried incase I got falsely accused of a crime and then they went through my past history and found I'd cheated on a test, it would all stack up against you in court.

Am I being melodramatic? Note to self: stop reading John Grisham novels.

Don't think you can use a false name on these jobs, the client is very strict on checking ID. Felt like I couldn't even sneeze without showing two forms of ID :rotfl:

I would definitely ask Bare if they can get the client to remove your details from their black list though... Wouldn't be very good if you needed to do a test with them and were then falsely accused of cheating etc...

To those who managed to pass this one did you get a certificate or just the printout from the centre? I'm quite pleased I passed it

Does anyone know if the codes Retail Maxim send in texts are specific to jobs? I booked my first job with them yesterday, and have another text today, but it has the same code, and of course now it's after 5 and no one's answering the phone there.
I'll give them a call in the morning - it just seemed a little odd to use the same number and I'm curious.

The code is unique to you and is your shopper id number. When you quote it they log into their system with it and all jobs available in your area will then be displayed - so you will always get the same code! HTH

If anyone gets a phone call from gap, it looks like it's "name your own fee" for the last of the current wave!!:)
