### 5/5 — U PASS!

*2025-05-16, version 3.0.3*

This is worth 5 dollars and will help you ace your test!

### 5/5 — Best FSC Practice App EVER

*2025-01-10, version 3.0.3*

This app gives you ten question tests that perfectly cover all parts of the actual FSC test. I was genuinely really nervous to take mine and after practice for a few days on this app I was ready … I ACED it !! I love that the app has questions that are HARDER than the FSC because I not only felt prepared but I learned new things. :) 10/10 would recommend.

### 2/5 — Problem in exit.

*2024-12-27, version 3.0.3*

The app will not let you exit and the only solution is to do a restart.  Very frustrating.  Thefore I can not recommend this program until fixed

### 5/5 — 2nd amendment freedom

*2024-05-18, version 3.0.3*

This test was impeccable to my safety test pass it came in handy

### 5/5 — Use this & you WILL pass

*2024-04-16, version 3.0.3*

I was using this app to study for my FSC. The test was a breeze compared to this study guide. This apps questions were identical to the actual test. Study this for a couple of days & you will pass. I landed a 30/30 with the help of this app.

### 5/5 — Passed 29/30 - Great App

*2024-03-09, version 3.0.3*

The test questions on this app are virtually the same questions on the actual test. Spend a couple hours worth of study time on here and you’ll ace the test no problem. Worth the $

### 5/5 — Perfect 30 out of 30

*2023-05-24, version 3.0.3*

Took my test today and aced it. Most of the questions were right out of this practice App. Actually the tests in this app are way harder than the FSC. Take a couple tests a day until you’re getting consistent 9 or 10 out of 10 results and you’ll be good to go on the real thing. The written will be a breeze, and as my review title says, I scored a 30 out of 30 in about ten minutes and felt awesome that I’d seen just about every question before thanks to this App. Definitely worth the $2 to me.

### 5/5 — 30/30 Pass in July 2022

*2022-07-08, version 3.0.3*

Questions were almost all 100% the same way as in the app, with just a few exceptions with ever so slightly different wording (almost to the point of it not being worth mentioning it). Probably the best couple of bucks I’ve spent for an app in quite a while.

### 5/5 — Very Helpful!!

*2022-03-08, version 3.0.3*

This app helped me alot and i only did the tests like 2 times, If you live in CA these EXACT questions are on the test as I just did and passed the test today and these questions and answers were the same!!

### 4/5 — The app is overkill

*2021-09-15, version 3.0.3*

I learned from this app a lot, but a lot of it I found a bit of an overkill. The app is a little glitchy too, there’s times i review my answers and it says i marked some wrong when i know i never put those answers. Safe yourself some money, use the practice questions they give you in the handbook online for free. I did get 100% on my test btw.
