Frequently asked questions

What is the FSC?

The Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) is the document California requires before most people can buy a firearm. It proves you passed a 30-question written test on safe handling, storage, and California firearm law, given by a DOJ Certified Instructor. See our full What Is the FSC? guide.

Is the FSC the same as a gun license?

California doesn't issue a single "gun license." Instead, the FSC card plus a passed background check are what let you complete a firearm purchase — together they function as the state's gun license requirement for most buyers.

How hard is the CA FSC test?

The real DOJ written test has 30 multiple-choice questions and you need 75% (23 correct) to pass. Most people who study the FSC study guide first pass on their first try. That's exactly what this ca fsc practice test is built to prepare you for.

What's on the FSC card?

The FSC card is your proof of passing — it's valid for 5 years and a dealer will ask to see it before you can take delivery of a firearm in California.

Is this practice test free?

Yes — the first 3 questions of every exam are free, no account needed. Full access to all 184 questions, unlimited retakes with fresh questions, and per-chapter study mode is a one-time $4.99 unlock.
