Free Beta Access — no payment requiredThe ServSafe Food Protection Manager Certification Examination is administered by the National Restaurant Association and accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) under Conference for Food Protection (CFP) standards. Test-takers answer 90 multiple-choice questions: 80 count toward your score, and 10 are unscored pilot questions mixed in and impossible to tell apart from the rest. You have 2 hours to finish, and the published requirement is at least 75% correct (60 of the 80 scored questions) to pass. The certificate is valid for 5 years. Content is based on the ServSafe Manager Book, and the current 9th Edition reflects the Supplement to the 2022 FDA Food Code.
NoGapPrep's practice exam mirrors that structure: a 300-question bank spread across the same 10 content areas as the official book, with a 75% benchmark and the option to simulate the full 80-question length. Every question is original, written from public food-safety regulations rather than copied from any official item bank, so you practice the concepts instead of memorizing leaked questions.
