Valero certification quiz....what's up with it?

August 29, 2025 07:32PM
I have tried several times to pass the valero quiz. I got 80%. I changed two answers and still got 80%. If those two were correct and I changed them and they were incorrect then I should have gotten 60%. I have tried and my friend has tried and we just can't seem to find an issue with our answers. Is anyone else having issues?

I have no idea. IT doesn't tell me which ones I got wrong. Here is what I answered

1. 2nd answer choice (valid branding)
2. true (pay at the pump)
3. true (c store unmanned)
4. first three choices (left, right and front) (three front photos and angles)
5. 20 feet (distance from main ID)
6. true (diesel fuel or dieself/fuel combo)
7. true (excessive dirt 60% or more)
8 false--but not sure (applications at/on the counter in view of the customers)

8 is true the applications have to be in view on the counter.
Not sure what the 1st one was but it was the Valero/Shamrock/Beacon response

I answered the others the same as you

Thanks. I tried it with the answers that I had and the one that you said to fix and I didn't pass.

I wonder what the over/under will be for the amount of shops that will get sent back to me because I didn't report something as excessively dirty, that was say.... 20-40% percent dirty.

I got "reprimanded" a few months ago because I was adding too MANY photos of the excessive damage and graffiti. I was told to just add 1 good one. Then of course I get asked a few weeks later for additional photos of graffiti. I think it literally depends on the mood of the editor and how detailed they want to be.

I'm in favor of more difficult certification tests and less attempts if it leads to thinning the shopper pool.

I checked and rechecked every answer. I should have gotten a 100. Have you passed the test? I’ve had two friends try because they do these too and they aren’t passing either.

The certification can never be difficult its like an open book exam.
