Is the cfsc/r test hard and what would some of the questions be like??

They will literally walk you through almost every question in the test and explain everything. This test will be more easy than any test you did in high-school. I had some children (young teens) in my class and they all passed with over 90%. You will be just fine

Not hard at all. The course is designed for people with zero prior knowledge or experience with firearms. As long as you pay attention in the class you’ll do fine. The questions are mainly about how to safely handle and clear a firearm (ACTS & PROVE), there’ll be a few about parts of different firearms shown to you in the course too. There’s a written and practical portion of the testing.

The test is probably the easiest part of getting your pal. The waiting after you submit your application is the real pain in the ass.

There are some sample questions online you can practice with.

Tips: if you see a question like “is it safe to……” or “is X and Y interchangeable”, 9/10 it’s false

The course is designed for people who have no firearms experience.

If you can read and manage to not point a gun at someone and keep your finger off the trigger you'll pass
