Ace Your TAM Card Exam with These Simple Tips

Ready to get to work in the hospitality capital of the world? Whether you are aiming to pour drinks on the Strip or serve guests in Downtown Las Vegas, Nevada state law requires you to pass a supervised alcohol awareness exam with a score of 75% or better before you can be issued your alcohol awareness card, also referred to as a TAM Card.

While “exam” might sound intimidating, there is no need to be nervous. We are here to make sure you walk into our office with total confidence.

Here are some quick tips to help you ace your test and get to work:

Depending on how you choose to learn, your path to the finish line looks a little different.

  • Online training: Once you complete your TAM training online, you’ll head to our office located right off the strip at 2310 Paseo Del Prado for a proctored exam with our friendly office staff.
  • Classroom training: If you prefer a traditional setting, you’ll take your test immediately following one of our in-person training sessions, available every Wednesday and Saturday at our office. Added bonus – if you’re in the classroom, don’t hesitate to ask questions to our expert instructors!

The exam is a straightforward review of the material you’ve already covered.  Here is how to ensure you’re ready:

  • Take the practice test. Online students have access to a practice test at the end of their training. This is the best way to see the types of questions that will appear on the final.
  • Find time for a 5-minute refresh. If you wait a few days between your training and your exam, flip through the TAM Student Manual before you walk into our office to keep the info fresh and top of mind.
  • Relax! Most students find the test to be a breeze after participating in the training.

15 Minutes to the Finish Line

We know your time is valuable. The short exam is all multiple-choice questions based on the information you learned in the TAM course. Between taking the test and getting your picture taken for your official TAM Card, you’ll be in and out of our office in approximately 15 minutes. The training you’ve completed with us won’t just help you ace the exam; it will also help you practice safe beverage service every single shift.

Relax, focus, and you’ll do great! Visit our website at www.tamnevada.com to get started.
