Where can I take a free FCLE practice test?
Right here. Sourcebound Prep's three full-length FCLE practice tests are free, with a timer that matches the 160-minute high-school session, a score for each competency, and an explanation for every answer that names the primary source it comes from. There is no account; your progress stays in your browser.
What is in the practice tests
- Three full-length tests of 80 questions, 20 for each of the four competencies, 240 questions in all; eight-question quick checks for each competency make up the rest of the 272-question bank.
- A timer you can set to 160 minutes (the high-school session), 90 minutes, or off.
- A score out of 80 against the 48-point pass line, and a score for each competency.
- A review of every question with its explanation and the source it was written from: the Constitution and its amendments, the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers, Supreme Court opinions, and National Archives records of landmark legislation and executive actions.
- A study mode that works through every question in a competency, and 134 flashcards.
How the questions were made and checked
The questions are organized around the four competencies Florida law defines. Each was written from a primary source and its explanation cites that source. Dates, amendment numbers and case holdings were cross-checked against the sources by script. The questions were drafted with artificial-intelligence tools under human editorial direction; independent model reviewers then tried to prove each keyed answer wrong or ambiguous, and flagged items were rewritten before publication. The method, the review status and the corrections log are on the About page. These are original questions, not the state's secure items; the state's own sample items are linked below.
The printed guide
The same questions, four competency chapters and quick-review sheets are in the FCLE Study Guide (paperback and Kindle, coming to Amazon late 2026).
