    Does it matter if you do pass them?!?
    Say for example you had a test on something that was totally boggling, and you just answered at random but got enough right to pass (as it seems they are multiple choice?!), what would happen then?!??

    You're supposed to fail but it doesn't tell you directly to... Think they way they worded it was "you will probably fail".

    I used to be an accountant so as it was a fairly basic maths test I would have been seriously annoyed if I had failed!! :)

    Basic for you maybe. I can only add and I know my times table. Can't divide or subtract. Perfect candidate for failure. LOL

    So do you end up with a genuine certificate in something if you pass?

    Lol I just looked into my exam in a little more detail, I haven't got a hope in hell of passing!

    As mine is a competitor the client has no control over cancelling a certificate if I pass. As far as the company are concerned I'm a paying customer.

    I've never fancied the test centre jobs. I just feel really uncomfortable about cheating in them and getting chucked out :o
    Here I go again on my own....

    the problem is the test centre your doing does licences as well... and when your blacklisted or have a mark and lets say you want your motorbike licence or you need a licence that goes against you..

    The reason even with the competitor you wouldn't get the qualification is you need to have certain levels and courses before your allowed to take the exam BARE fakes these for you. They let the competitors know afterwards if you pass.

    I got granted my teachers certficate for maths but obviously I didn't have the university degree they wanted I know it does say so in the notes somewhere that the certificate doesn't count.

    Hello
    I was hoping that I could ask for a bit of advice please. I have been doing on-line mystery shopping for over a year now which I love as can fit it easily around my daughter. She is off to School in September so would like to go out and do some mystery shopping, I did use to do this about 8 years ago but I know things have changed in that time. Im aware there are a lot of companies out there and would really like to start off with an easy company - I dont mean easy money as I know that just does not exist, lol But I would like to try with a company that is a fairly good one to work with, so I can build my confidence being a mystery shopper whilst trying to make sure I dont look like one!!
    Thank you
