How hard is the California Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) test?
The California Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) test is a 30-question, multiple-choice written exam you must pass to buy a firearm in the state, and you need 23 correct — 75% — to pass. Most people find it very manageable: every question is drawn from the California DOJ's official FSC study guide and covers six plain-English topics — the basic safety rules, safe handling, firearm storage, transport, California firearm laws, and ammunition — with no trick questions. The test is given by a DOJ Certified Instructor (usually right at the gun store), costs about $25, and the certificate is good for five years; if you miss it you can retake it. The single best way to pass on the first try is to read the study guide once, then drill practice questions until the four safety fundamentals and the transport-and-storage rules are automatic. The five sample questions below are pulled straight from the app's official-style bank — answer each one and you'll see the correct choice, a plain explanation, and your score, so you know exactly where you stand before test day.
Question 1 of 5
What is the first and most fundamental rule of firearm safety?
Five sample questions from the app’s 66-question DOJ bank — the same wording and answers you get on your phone.
Take it with you
The full FSC Prep app carries all 66 practice questions across the six DOJ topics, each with a written explanation, plus timed 30-question mock exams that mirror the real test, a self-clearing missed-question review deck, and progress tracking that shows when you're consistently clearing the 75% pass line — all fully offline on your phone.
What it is
A practice-test app for California's mandatory Firearm Safety Certificate exam. It has 66 original questions across the six official topic areas, each with a plain explanation, plus a mock exam graded at the real 75% pass mark and a self-clearing missed-question deck.
Why we built it
Every California firearm buyer must pass the state FSC test, yet the DOJ publishes only a study guide, not a practice exam. That is an exact thing people search for and cannot find done well. This turns the official subject areas into DMV-style drill-and-review prep so a buyer walks in ready.
