Foundations: Introduction to Working With Merchants quiz - impossible to pass?

[bamboom]

Has anyone managed to pass the 'Foundations: introduction to working with merchants' quiz for the partner certification?

I must have done this about 50 times today, and just can't get 10/10. It's even got to the point where I've been logging my answers in excel to try and figure out what I've got wrong. I've gone through each question with the learning materials and got the exact answer they specify, but still can't get 10/10.

Has anyone else passed this? I'm wondering if there's an issue with the quiz answers. It doesn't help that in one of the previous quizzes it asks 'which plan gives you a 10% referral' - when the plans all give you 20%!. So I don't have a lot of faith that there isn't another issue with one of the questions/answers.

Just interested to see if anyone has completed it. I'm not looking for the actual answers, just curious if anyone has got a completion on it yet?

Hi!

You're probably still making a mistake somewhere, because I've finished the course and have the badge. Yes, it is a very annoying one and there is one or two awnsers that don't seem logical, but it's definitely doable.

Good to know thanks! I guess I need to log my answers for longer in Excel to get the magic formula 🤣

OK, so I figured out the issue! One of the questions does indeed have the answer wrong!

MODERATOR EDIT: We've removed the incorrect, and correct answer.

Hi quiz goddess! 😉 

Thanks for coming back to me. Whilst I didn't want to share that publicly, I felt I had to as it could be stopping people passing.  There is one other one I've spotted that needs a tweak too - can you let me know how to contact you. There doesn't seem to be any direct link on the above help page to report issues with the quiz.

I've just finished the certification, so I'll add the feedback on there as well though.

I found the whole course and quizzes really useful though, even when I've been doing shopify sites for customers for several years, so much more you can do that I wasn't aware of.  Other than the frustration of the 2 questions not accepting the right answer and me wanting to throw the laptop out of the window in a full blow man-strop, it's been really well done 😉

Congratulations @bamboom on finishing the certification!

Please include as much detail as possible and if clarification is needed the team will reach out.

Thanks again!

[bamboom]

Thanks, I've filled that in.

I agree. I can't get past this part. I'll take the answers!!! 😊

I have been banging my head against the wall on this one! I too, made a document and have checked the questions to what I think is the correct answer from the course materials.  I can't get over 8/10 to show correct. 🤔 I am looking to offer my clients an option, besides the popular open-source solution, which is far more complicated. I'll never get back the 2 hours I spent trying to pass this quiz. Not sure it's worth it, tbh. If I can't get the foundation quiz to pass how will I ever become a partner???

I am having the same issue and even after trying the quiz more than 20 times, I am not able to make it pass 80% 😞

This is so frustrating.
