Exam facts
Armed Security Officer / Armed Guard Card (state-specific)
Armed security officer licensing is administered by state boards — there is no single national written exam. Pathways usually stack unarmed/guard-card credentials, firearms training hours, a written knowledge test, and a separate range qualification. UniPrep2Go products are independent prep (not state-board material).
- Questions
- Varies widely by state (no single national form)
- Time
- State-specific — verify your board bulletin
- Passing score
- State-specific (often ~70–75% on written portions where published)
- Delivery
- State-approved training schools / licensing vendors; range qualification separate
- Administered by
- State security licensing boards (e.g. FL FDACS Class G, TX DPS Level III, CA BSIS firearm permit)

What changed in the current exam cycle
- OpenExamPrep and similar sites publish large multi-state free banks — useful for volume; UniPrep is a single no-signup timed diagnostic + planned Anki.
- Armed pathways almost always require live-fire qualification separate from any written practice test.
- Unarmed guard-card / Class D-style credentials are usually prerequisites — do not treat this mock as the unarmed exam.
High-yield facts (commonly tested)
- No single national armed-security MCQ — confirm your state’s hours, written cut score, and range rules.
- UniPrep2Go’s check is a 60-question / 75-minute written diagnostic (free 25-question version) — not a board exam and not range qualification.
- ≠ Unarmed security officer / guard-card-only pathway (separate UniPrep mock exists).
- Firearms training hours and FOID/CCW-style prerequisites are state-specific.
Common Armed Security Officer / Armed Guard Card (state-specific) questions
Straight answers to the questions candidates usually search before buying prep or booking the exam.
Is there one national armed security exam?
No. Licensing is state-specific. Examples include Florida Class G, Texas Level III, and California BSIS firearm permits — each with its own training and testing rules.
Is UniPrep2Go’s armed security check the official exam?
No. The 60-question / 75-minute check (free 25-question version) is an independent written diagnostic. The matching Anki deck is planned (waitlist). Not a state board exam.
Does this include the firearms range test?
No. This is written knowledge only. Most armed pathways require separate instructor-led firearms training and live-fire qualification.

Armed Security Officer study guide
What is inside
Planned **60** flashcards across use of force & law, weapons safety, patrol & emergencies, and ethics & professionalism — the same four topic buckets as the free readiness check.
Plan with the free armed security mock (live now)
**Start:** Take the [60-question Armed Security Officer readiness check (free 25-question version)](/mock-exams/armed-security-officer-readiness-check) (75 minutes / 70% diagnostic). **Then:** Complete your **state-required firearms training** and study your board manual. **When Anki ships:** 15–20 cards/day on the weakest topic only.
Armed licensing is **state-specific** (e.g. FL Class G, TX Level III, CA BSIS firearm permit). Most pathways need an **unarmed/guard-card** credential first plus a **separate range qualification**. Our mock is a written diagnostic only.
Pitfalls this deck targets (when live)
Candidates treat a 60Q check (free 25-question version) as their state board form, skip live-fire training, or confuse this page with the [unarmed security](/mock-exams/unarmed-security-officer-readiness-check) pathway.
What this does not replace
Your state board bulletin, instructor-led firearms hours, or range qualification. Anki is **planned** on UniPrep — not a live Gumroad SKU yet. Independent prep — not FDACS/BSIS/DPS material.
