What is Pass Surety?
Pass Surety is a package specially designed for those participants who want to be absolutely sure to pass the exam in the minimum time, and with surety that they will not have to pay the fee again if they fail the exam.
Participants opting for this package receive the following benefits, in addition to the regular training:
- A proprietary question bank of 1000+ questions, covering all exam topics, and providing detailed explanation for each answer. The question bank provides adequate exam practice and preparation.
- Individual Pre-tests: An exam consisting of 120 questions, to be completed in 3 Hours, simulating the actual certification exam. Test-takers must score 80% to be considered as ‘Ready for the Actual Exam’. If a test-taker fails to achieve 80% score in pre-test, they will need to take it again till they achieve the required score (80%).
- After scoring 80% in pre-test, the test-taker will take the actual certification exam.
- In case a test-taker cleared the pre-test but still failed the actual exam, will be eligible for a free-retake of the exam (i.e. the Chapter will pay for the re-take exam, not the participant).
- Note: Test-taker will again need to pass the pre-test before the retake exam.
Pass Surety package is valid for 1 year i.e. a exam-taker must take the actual exam and the re-attempt (in case it is required) within a time period of 1 year.
