Thread: Firearm safety course theory test

Our group was 9 people I think and we had 4 30/30 and 3 fails which took test again at the end so unsure if they passed. To be fair there was a clear line between those that studied and those who didn’t have a clue and tried to wing it.

9 people -4 passed, 3 failed, what happened with the other two?

Yep, I'd second what 40mm and Rusky said. Sounds like you are well prepped, but everything in the test is covered on the course. Just take your time to make sure you understand what the question is asking. If unsure, I'm pretty sure you can ask the person running the course if your understanding of what the question is asking is correct... I'd use that opportunity if unsure (I didn't and got one wrong - rushing and mis-read the question).

Good luck, ask questions, and enjoy it! Let us know how you get on.

9 people, 4 got 30/30, 3 failed, so probably 2 passed with less than 30/30.

Yep think one had 1 wrong the other 2. The 3 fails weren’t through quantity of questions just not knowing the 7 rules well enough to apply them to the questions asked.

I sat pretty close to the instructor so overheard it all it wasn’t discussed openly.

Waaaay back when I did it, you could get a couple wrong and still pass, but you had to get all of the last 6 (I think) questions correct.

Need to get first 7 correct (7 rules) and 27/30 to pass now.

So I sat the test and course this morning. Managed to get 30/30 questions correct so obviously a 100% pass rate which I'm happy with. Thanks heaps for all of the advice guys.

Now to wait for the interviews and inspection....
