Any good websites or anything to help me and my mother prepare for our CFSC? We are taking it together on the 16th and would like to be prepared as best we can.

Firearms safety course: ACTS, PROVE, headstamps, barrel data, squib loads. All in the manual. Videos

The course is ridiculously easy to not only pass but get 100%. You don't need to feel intimidated or do preparation for it.

I recommend reading the manual before you take the course if you want to feel prepared.

It’s not really needed since everything will be thoroughly covered during the course but I enjoyed reviewing it on my own time before and it relieved some of the worry for me.

As others have said, all instructors follow the same book/slideshow and it is very thorough for the tests you take. You'll be fine as long as you pay attention and listen. ACTS, PROOVE, cartridge/headstamps, actions, and a little bit of definition work are the main things.

If your a go getter you could read through the books before hand as some others have posted the links too, but again the course is very thorough. Almost every page of the handbook is gone through word for word basically.
