Exam facts

Key facts: Serve It Right Saskatchewan (SIRS) Exam

Free Serve It Right Saskatchewan practice tests for anyone who sells, serves or delivers alcohol in Saskatchewan. Every question is original and explains the rule behind the answer, with a citation to the section of Saskatchewan law or the SLGA policy it comes from. No sign-up, no limits, and your progress stays on your device.

Important: these questions are written from Saskatchewan liquor law and SLGA policy, not from the Serve It Right Saskatchewan course. The SIRS course and its exam belong to its operator, so we never copy them. Instead we wrote every question from The Alcohol and Gaming Regulation Act, 1997, The Alcohol Control Regulations, 2016, SLGA's Commercial Liquor Permittee Policy Manual and SGI's public driver's handbook, which set the rules the course teaches.

Sample Serve It Right Saskatchewan questions

Tap a question to see the answer. The full interactive test is at the top of the page.
  1. 1A pub runs a darts tournament. Which prize does SLGA NOT allow?
    • A. A gift card for a sporting goods store
    • B. A bottle of rum handed out as the prize
    • C. A team T-shirt and a photo on the wall
    • D. A trophy for the winning team

    Alcohol must not be offered or given as a prize, except in a licensed raffle, where it is handed to the winner in a closed container as they leave.

  2. 2A 20-year-old lends her old ID to her 17-year-old cousin to get into a bar. What does the Act say?
    • A. It is legal because the cousin is family
    • B. Knowingly giving a minor false ID for entry is an offence
    • C. It is legal, because the ID she lent is a real government card
    • D. Only the bar can be charged, not the lender

    Section 111(5) makes it an offence to knowingly provide a minor with false identification for the purpose of getting into permitted premises.

  3. 3A minors-prohibited bar uses self-serve beer taps. Which condition applies?
    • A. Minors may use the taps with an adult present
    • B. Patrons may top up cards without staff contact
    • C. The taps may stay unlocked after closing time
    • D. Staff talk directly with the buyer before each sale

    Self-serve beer and wine systems need a serving limit per patron, direct staff interaction with the purchaser before each sale, and ongoing monitoring; they are not allowed where minors may be present.

  4. 4Under the Report Impaired Drivers program, what does SLGA encourage the public to do?
    • A. Follow the driver home and take a photo
    • B. Block the driver's car in the parking lot

  5. 5In Saskatchewan, a minor is a person under what age?
    • A. 19
    • B. 18
    • C. 16
    • D. 21

    The Alcohol and Gaming Regulation Act, 1997 defines a minor as a person under 19 years of age, so 19 is the legal drinking age in Saskatchewan, unlike 18 in Alberta.

  6. 6Why can vision be affected even at low alcohol levels?
    • A. Alcohol only affects people who wear glasses
    • B. Bar lighting causes the effect, not the alcohol
    • C. Alcohol makes the pupils shrink too much for clear sight at night
    • D. The small muscles of the eye are very sensitive to alcohol

    SGI explains that muscle control is affected after judgment, and the small eye muscles are very susceptible, so vision suffers even at low levels.

  7. 7A sober guest orders a drink and passes it to an intoxicated friend. What must staff not allow?
    • A. The intoxicated friend possessing or drinking it
    • B. The sober guest paying for a drink for a friend
    • C. The sober guest ordering a soft drink
    • D. The friend staying seated for a moment

    Section 126 bars staff from allowing a person who appears intoxicated to possess or consume alcohol on the premises, whoever bought it.

  8. 8How must spirits be measured when poured for a patron?
    • A. With a marked measure or a mechanical or electronic device
    • B. By a count of four when free-pouring straight from the bottle
    • C. By eye, as long as the drink looks like a full shot
    • D. By the patron, who says when to stop pouring

    A permittee must use a measuring device marked with a line at the serving level, or a mechanical or electronic measuring device, so patrons get the amount they paid for.

  9. 9What is an experienced driver's first roadside suspension for a BAC over .04?
    • A. A 60-day suspension and a 3-day impoundment
    • B. A 90-day suspension and an interlock
    • C. A 3-day suspension and a 3-day impoundment
    • D. A written warning with no suspension

    For experienced drivers, a first .04 to .08 roadside suspension means 3 days plus a 3-day vehicle impoundment; the second is 21 days and the third 90 days.

  10. 10What kind of conduct may staff not permit on permitted premises under section 127?
    • A. Riotous, quarrelsome, violent or disorderly conduct
    • B. Patrons moving tables to sit with friends
    • C. Dancing to live music on an approved stage
    • D. Loud cheering during a televised hockey game on a Saturday night

    Section 127 bars staff from permitting riotous, quarrelsome, violent or disorderly conduct, and bars anyone from engaging in it on the premises.

About the test

About the Serve It Right Saskatchewan (SIRS) Exam

Serve It Right Saskatchewan (SIRS) is the official provincial responsible alcohol service program. The Alcohol Control Regulations, 2016 make approved server training mandatory, and SLGA, the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority, requires owners and paid employees who sell or serve alcohol in retail stores, restaurants, taverns and special use facilities to be certified. That includes managers, supervisors, bartenders, servers, hosts, door and security staff, retail sales staff and home delivery drivers. The course is delivered online by Tourism Saskatchewan's Workforce Development department.

According to Tourism Saskatchewan's SIRS page, the course ends with a 35-question multiple-choice online exam and you need a mark of 80 per cent to pass, which works out to 28 of 35 correct. You have five attempts at the exam and 45 days from purchase to finish the course, which should take six hours or less. Tourism Saskatchewan does not publish an exam time limit or the course fee on that page, so our mock exams use 35 questions with no timer and we do not quote a price.

Saskatchewan's timing rule is strict: new employees must have SIRS before their first shift, and owners who serve alcohol must have it before SLGA issues their permit. Certification is valid for five years, and permittees must keep each worker's name, certificate number and issue date on file for SLGA. Certificates such as Alberta ProServe, B.C. Serving It Right or Ontario Smart Serve earned within the last five years can be transferred to SIRS, and unpaid volunteers at special occasion events take a separate volunteer course instead.

This site covers the rules in eleven study chapters of our own: certification, minors and the legal age, checking ID, alcohol and impairment, intoxicated patrons, refusing entry and removing patrons, hours, prices and promotions, serving and handling alcohol, liability and penalties, and impaired driving. Saskatchewan differs from its neighbours in ways the test checks: the legal age is 19, not 18 as in Alberta; two-for-one drink specials are allowed if each drink meets SLGA's minimum price; and bars must stay open at least half an hour after last service so patrons can finish their drinks.

ExamCanada is an independent study site. We are not affiliated with SLGA, Tourism Saskatchewan or the Government of Saskatchewan, and our practice tests are not the SIRS course or exam. Passing them does not certify you: only the Serve It Right Saskatchewan program does. Register for the real course through Tourism Saskatchewan, and where our notes and the official sources differ, the law and SLGA policy win.

Study plan

How to prepare

  1. 1Start with the Saskatchewan numbers: legal age 19, Check 25 for ID, sales from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. (2:30 a.m. on New Year's Eve), a tolerance period of at least half an hour, and no patrons or open alcohol after 3:00 a.m.
  2. 2Learn the ID rules: when the Act requires you to demand proof of age, what SLGA accepts as photo and secondary ID, why a phone photo of ID never counts, and how to check a Saskatchewan licence's security features.
  3. 3Memorize SLGA's signs of intoxication and the two duties in the Act: no sale or supply to anyone who appears intoxicated, and no letting them possess or drink alcohol on the premises.
  4. 4Know what to do with an intoxicated patron who needs a ride: they may wait while safe arrangements are made, but staff must watch them and keep alcohol away from them.
  5. 5Learn the minors rules by type of premises: what minors may and may not do in restaurants, lounges and taverns, and the Sunday Brunch and Family Dining exceptions.
  6. 6Take one topic test at a time and read the explanation under every question you miss. Each one names the section of the Act, the regulation or SLGA's manual behind the answer.
  7. 7When you score 30 or more out of 35 on two different mock exams, you have a cushion above the 28 needed to pass. You have five attempts at the real exam, but aim to pass on the first.

FAQ

Serve It Right Saskatchewan test questions people ask

How many questions are on the Serve It Right Saskatchewan exam?

Tourism Saskatchewan's SIRS page says the course ends with a 35-question multiple-choice online exam. Our mock exams use 35 questions so you can practise at the real length.

What is the passing score for SIRS?

You need a mark of 80 per cent, which on 35 questions means 28 correct answers. Tourism Saskatchewan gives you five attempts to pass the exam.

How long is a Serve It Right Saskatchewan certificate valid?

SLGA's permittee manual says SIRS certification is valid for five years, and you should recertify before your certificate expires.

When do I need SIRS before working in a bar?

Before your first shift. SLGA requires employees involved in selling or serving alcohol to hold valid SIRS certification before they start work, and owners who serve alcohol must have it before their permit is issued.

How old do you have to be to serve alcohol in Saskatchewan?

Saskatchewan's Act defines a minor as anyone under 19, and no minor may act in any way in the sale, handling or serving of alcohol on permitted premises. Minors may work in restaurants only in jobs that have nothing to do with alcohol.

Yes, if you earned it within the past five years. Tourism Saskatchewan can transfer certificates such as Alberta ProServe, B.C. Serving It Right and Ontario Smart Serve to SIRS; the expiry is five years after the date on your original certificate.

Are these the real SIRS exam questions?

No. The SIRS course and exam belong to their operator and we do not copy them. Our questions are original, written from Saskatchewan's Alcohol and Gaming Regulation Act, 1997, its regulations and SLGA's public policy manual.

How much does Serve It Right Saskatchewan cost?

Tourism Saskatchewan's public SIRS page does not list the price, so we do not quote one. Check the current fee on the course registration page before you buy. Our practice tests are free.
