Okay, let me put it this way. I firmly believe that every CHL instructor tries to do the best to ensure EVERYONE passes the test. The two instructors I've used specifically called out areas in the lecture that would be on the test (even to the point say "Now pay attention, because this is a specific question on the test'). Second, your CHL instructor (no DPS) is responsible for grading the test, while you are in the class. The ONLY thing that Texas DPS wants is a signed form from the instructor saying you passed. They don't even care about the grade, and your specific test is never sent to them. All that matters is that your instructor syas you pass for both the shooting and written portion, and sign their name to it. No other infomation is sent (such has what was the score on your shooting test, or what was the score on the written test). So, if your instructor grades the test, and you happen to fail, I can pretty much guarantee you they will set you back down, tell you why your answers were wrong, and give you another chance to correct them. And if you still manage to fail it after that, they may just sit by your side and quide you on every question. Instructors WANT their students to pass, and increase the number CHL licensees out there. They do everything they can to get them to pass.

Heck I'm not even sure my test was graded.There were fifty questions on the test but it took the instructor every bit of 30 seconds to tell me I made a 100. If I had to guess, he was looking at specific answers to key questions. Or he had been teaching the class since is started so he very well could have memorized all of the answer and just quickly scanned the answer sheet. All I know, my walk to hand him my test took longer than him to actually grade it.

Honestly I was quite surprised at the written test. I was EXTREMELY easy, and personally that scares me a bit. When you are apply for a license to carry a gun, I would think that you should have a deep understanding of the laws and consequences for doing so. Honestly, I think if the antis found out how easy it was to get a gun, and how easy the marksman ship test and written tests are, I'm quite sure they would have a con-niption fit. I think getting a driverls license test was harder than getting a CHL. I certainly know I didn't score as well on the dirving portion as I did on the marksman ship portion of the CHL. And I know I fared alot worse on the written portion on the DL test, than I didd on the CHL test.
