    Hi. You have to pass the PAL test before you can do the RPAL. Both can be done on the same day, but it's pass the PAL first. Make haste as Harper is planning on ending challenging the tests altogether.

    Don't know about Ontario but I challenged both my PAL/RPAL on the same day and passed both. Took 1.5 hr for the entire test!
    And saved $100 and at least 12 hrs of classroom and test time. This is BC.
    The caveat is you should read both the CFSC and CRFSC manuals and know all the material before attempting. My tester said that for a challenge, he cannot help in any way. You must also have a very sound knowledge in all types of firearms, their handling, safety and ammo types before attempting a challenge.

    You can challenge both on the same day. You just have to do the PAL one first and pass before they let you do the RPAL one.

    Study manuals are free. See the stickies at the top of the Newbie forum section...

    Other than maybe asking someone about the practical part, for the written all you really need are the manuals. I didn't challenge, but read both before the course, and after going through the course, I for sure could have aced the written parts on manual reading alone.
