## What is the Armed Security Officer exam?

Armed security officer licensing is state-specific: many boards require an unarmed/guard-card credential first, then firearms training hours, a written knowledge test, and a separate range qualification before you may carry on duty. Topics usually include use of force, weapons safety, patrol/emergencies, and ethics. Confirm hours, fees, and vendor with your state board (e.g. FL Class G, TX Level III, CA BSIS firearm permit).

- Administered by: State security licensing boards (varies by state)
- Official format: State-specific written multiple-choice knowledge test plus firearms training and range qualification in most armed pathways. Question counts and pass scores vary widely by state — there is no single national armed-guard exam. UniPrep’s check is a 60Q / 75 min written diagnostic (free 25-question version) only.

## Official certification resources

Topic weights and timing follow published State security licensing boards outlines. Verify fees and scheduling on the official site — UniPrep2Go questions are independent study aids.

## About this free practice test

A timed written diagnostic across use of force & law, weapons safety, patrol & emergencies, and ethics — then join the planned 60-card Anki waitlist.

This free check is a shorter written diagnostic only — not a live-fire test and not OpenExamPrep’s multi-state volume banks.

- Built for: Security professionals upgrading to armed posts who want a free timed written baseline before state-required firearms training and board exams.
- Topics: Use of force & law, Weapons safety, Patrol & emergencies, Ethics & professionalism

## Report features

## Common Armed Security Officer / Armed Guard Card (state-specific) candidate questions (Q&A)

### 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.
