PAL/RPAL exam questions
- Thread starter Screamin-D
- Start date
You cant fail if you have a decent instructor, stay awake in the class and have basic logic. Except for the exception questions like hunting from a canoe vs an ATV due to motors there really is not a hard question on the exam.
Now if the hunting course included identifying the wings of upland game and ducks then there is possibility of failing if you didnt study your feathers.
I took the course only ever using a bolt gun and air rifle. I had no trouble and learned that until I had more exp that lever actions were not for me tmdue to holding the hammer/trigger together. In fine with it now but didnt feel comfortable then. Still dont own one though mostly for that reason and the thought of my thumb slipping in the cold.

No need to memorize ammo names.
The course teaches you that the ammo (as on the headstamp) has to match the firearm (as stamped on the barrel). Lots of types of ammo will chamber in a gun that are the wrong ammo. A 308 will chamber in a 25-06, for example (and might blow it up).
In the test you might be given a gun, and asked which of the rounds on the table match the gun.
Remember that a shot shell length is measured after shooting. The length includes the now open crimp. So a 3" shell they hand you might actually measure 2 3/4" long. It is not a 2 3/4" round.
Yeah. Given how easy the tests are, I think half the reason this thing exists is so that the instructors can see whether you're normal or not.

You will not be handed anything.
You will be asked to select different types of ammunition and show it to the examiner.
You be asked by the examiner to pick up a certain gun. You may or may not be asked to select the right cartridge or cartridges for that firearm. You may or may not be asked to load it.
The number one rule is still IF YOU TOUCH IT ACTS AND PROVE IT and BEFORE you put it down ACTS AND PROVE IT
It in fact DOES do that. We can, if we feel necessary, include a message with the reports we file. If someone passed the test but feel their cheese isn't squarely on their cracker. It protects the instructors to a certain degree as most will assume it was the RCMP's doing.

Thanks everyone for the very useful info.
Greywolf, you mention:
I understand ACTS and PROVE it safe when you pick up a firearm, but why do it again when putting it down if it hasn't left your hands (direct control) though I know the action should be left open if possible? Or do you mean for example, the instructor asks you to pick up firearm X, load it with the correct cartridge, unload it, then put it away. Then I understand you have to ACTS/PROVE it safe when picked up, load with correct cartridge as per head and data stamps, unload it and ACTS/PROVE it safe before putting it down.
Thanks.

It sounds like you are doing more pre-study than what many do prior to attending a CFSC/CRFSC course. The course is not designed to be overly complicated or tricky but there are some non-negotiable points that have already been covered by others in this thread that need to be adhered to.
For those looking to learn the complete course, minus the practical handling prior to attending in person, our master instructors have created a full online training program that can be used for pre-study.

Most people can probably pass without taking the course, the written test is really easy. I probably would have gotten 90% without the course.
It sounds like the practice test you're taking is harder than the real test honestly.
The biggest part is the practical. You should be given plenty of time to handle the guns during the course, that is your time to learn the basics of operating a firearm. Ask lots of questions. Play with all the guns you can and as much as you can.
Beyond that, it's really just a matter of not pulling the trigger and not breaking the plane.

Just finished both courses and passed with flying colours. Thanks to all for the info you provided.
Now to submit my application, then send in (fax/email) my stamped exams and wait patiently for my license. Then the real fun begins!

I have taken many tests, entrance exams, and more. The most difficult test in my opinion was getting a job. In order to pass it, you had to know all aspects of the 2020 Cisco Certification. In fact, I really wanted to get this job, I really studied everything and tried to remember every point. But during the test, my memory seemed to be erased. I tried to answer basic questions, but nothing worked at all. When I left the office and began to remember all the questions, I realized that I had made a mistake everywhere. These are all damn emotions!

It's time for me to prepare for the exams and it turns out to be much more difficult than I thought.
That's why I decided to find a service that can help me with writing tasks that would serve as a shining example for me. At https://papersbattle.com/best-assignment-writing-services/ I read a review of best assignment writing services and chose the best one for myself. It helped me a lot and was useful.
