BST Security Exam: 10 Study Tips to Pass on Your First Try
The JIBC security exam can be tricky, but with the right preparation, you can pass with flying colors. Here is your cheat sheet to success from Surrey's top instructors.
You’ve finished your 40-hour course at RupIELTS. Now, only one hurdle remains: the Provincial Exam. Many students in Surrey and Vancouver ask us, "Is the exam hard?" The honest answer is that it requires study. It is a 75-question multiple-choice test, and you need 70% to pass.
Don't panic. Here are the top tips from our expert instructors to help you succeed.
Top Strategies to Ace the Test
1. Focus on the "Law" Module
This is where most students lose points. You need to understand the difference between the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Criminal Code. Remember: Security guards have no more powers than a regular citizen!
- Read the Question Twice: The exam often uses "trick" words like "ALWAYS," "NEVER," or "EXCEPT." Slow down and read carefully.
- Understand "Powers of Arrest": Know specifically when a citizen's arrest is legal (Section 494 of the Criminal Code).
- Use Our Mock Tests: At RupIELTS, we provide practice questions that mimic the real exam format.
- Don't Second Guess: Usually, your first gut instinct is correct. Don't change your answer unless you are 100% sure you made a mistake.
What Happens if You Fail?
It's not the end of the world! You can retake the exam. However, the best way to save time and money is to get quality training first. Our in-class sessions in Surrey allow you to ask questions immediately, ensuring you understand complex legal concepts before exam day.
