The current ServSafe FAQ sets the pass mark at **70% (56 of 80 scored)**; the older 2020 Examinee Handbook PDF still prints **75%**.

Take the [free ServSafe Manager mock](/mock-exams/servsafe-manager-mock) two weeks before your proctored exam — focus review on domains scoring under 75%. Final three days: temperature and HACCP cards only. Optional companion: printable [ServSafe Manager study guide](/decks/servsafe-manager-complete-study-guide).
