Instructions for Using the Diagnostic Test Prior to Classroom Instruction
Teaching the entire content of ServSafe Manager Book 6th Edition updated with the 2013 FDA Food Code in an eight-hour
session can be challenging. Having learners who are better prepared before classroom instruction begins leads to a
more efficient classroom experience for everyone.
One of the best ways you can prepare learners for classroom instruction is to have them read ServSafe Manager Book
before coming to class. Asking learners to complete the diagnostic test will also prepare them for instruction and help
you focus on the areas that require additional attention in the classroom.
Three weeks before class, you should send all learners a packet of information that contains the following:
• ServSafe Manager Book 6th Edition updated with the 2013 FDA Food Code
• 80-question diagnostic test and answer key
• Date(s) of the class
• Time the class begins and ends
• Location (with directions)
• What to bring with them (e.g., pencils, a notebook, etc.)
• What to expect during training and the examination
A sample cover letter is provided in a separate file.
The diagnostic test comes with a complete answer key. The answer key notes areas of weakness and directs learners
to the appropriate sections of ServSafe Manager Book 6th Edition updated with the 2013 FDA Food Code for further study
prior to class. Additionally, you as an instructor can use the results of the diagnostic test to note which areas of content
will require extra attention in the class. Ask learners to send their completed answer keys to you prior to class. Use the
test results to fine-tune the material you plan to deliver in class. You may want to dedicate extra time to subject areas
that your learners found difficult.
