Most people find the written test pretty easy. As someone mentioned earlier, downloading the Concealed Handgun Statutes & Related Weapons Laws ( 2007-2008) at http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/ftp/forms/ls-16.pdf couldn't hurt. During the class, we cover all of the topics that will be on the test, and most of the time I'll say, "This might be a test question." We also do a thorough test review. I believe most instructors do this. Unless you're a nut, incapable or clearly unsafe, we'll do what we can (legally) to see that you pass.

Most people, even beginning shooters, find the shooting qualification fairly easy to get through. The course of fire involves firing 50 rounds; 20 rounds (usually in sets of 5) at 3 yards, 20 rounds at 7 yards and 10 rounds at 15 yards. We offer a Pre-CHL class that is really a Basic Handgun Safety and Shooting Technique lesson with a mock CHL qualification at the end. It works out well for novice shooters because, having gone through the shooting qualification once, much of the anxiety is relieved for the actual test. Experienced shooters generally don't have any problems unless they get really nervous.
