The competency test is divided into specific . Every applicant must first complete the "Legal Test" (Knowledge of the Act) before proceeding to specific firearm categories:

Avoid random "Firearm Test Answers 2025.pdf" from Facebook or WhatsApp. These are often outdated. The Firearms Control Act was amended in 2024 regarding private collections and dedicated status. Use only PFTC-accredited materials (look for the PFTC logo).
Do not buy "exam dumps" from Facebook Marketplace. The SAPS has flagged these. You need to understand the law (specifically Act 60 of 2000 ), not just memorize answers.
