What should you do if you fail the FSC test the first time?

Wait 24 hours before retesting
Retake the test immediately
Apply for a waiver
You cannot retake the test

The correct answer is: Wait 24 hours before retesting

If a person fails the FSC test the first time, they must wait at least 24 hours before being eligible to retest. This waiting period is a requirement by the state of California to allow the individual time to review the material and potentially seek additional study or training before retaking the exam. This waiting period is in place to ensure that individuals have the opportunity to properly prepare and demonstrate their understanding of firearm safety before attempting the test again. Options B, C, and D are incorrect. Retaking the test immediately after failing is not allowed, as there is a mandatory waiting period of 24 hours, as mentioned. Applying for a waiver is not the standard procedure for retaking the FSC test, and you can retake the test after the waiting period if needed. Option D stating that you cannot retake the test is also incorrect, as individuals are allowed to retake the exam after the waiting period if they do not pass it the first time.
