Can you pass the FSC test? Take ten questions from the DOJ study guide.

The California Firearm Safety Certificate test is the 30-question written test you must pass before you can buy a firearm in California, and you need 23 correct — 75% — to pass. It is given by a DOJ Certified Instructor, usually at the gun store itself; miss it and you can retake it after 24 hours at no extra charge. Every question comes from one public document, the California Department of Justice's Firearm Safety Certificate Study Guide, and it covers seven plain-English areas: the six basic safety rules, safe handling, storage and child access, transport, firearm operation and cleaning, ammunition, and California law.

Because the test draws from a single published guide, it is genuinely passable in an evening — the trap is assuming you already know California law from somewhere else. The ten questions below come out of the FSC Practice Test app's 149-question bank, every one of which is traced to a specific section of the 2025 edition of that guide and was checked against it before release. Each answer here names the section it rests on, so you can check it yourself.

    Besides identifying the target itself, what must you know before you shoot?

    What is the best source of operating instructions for a specific firearm?

  5. Question 5 of 10Safe Handling

    After the magazine is out, how do you confirm a pistol is unloaded?

  7. Question 7 of 10Transportation

  8. Question 8 of 10Ammunition

  10. Question 10 of 10Firearm Safety Rules

    Why is an interior wall a poor backstop for a bullet?

What it is

A practice-test app for California's mandatory Firearm Safety Certificate exam. 149 original questions across the study guide's seven areas — the six basic safety rules, safe handling, storage and child access, transport, firearm operation and cleaning, ammunition, and California law — each citing the exact section of the 2025 DOJ Study Guide it comes from. A 30-question exam graded at the real 23-of-30 pass mark, a self-clearing missed-question deck, and a plan that works back from your test date.

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.
