Yes, GIANT! You are studying for all versions of the FD test!

many persons have used it to pass their tests.

up in person; BUT picking up requires an
exact appointment as we are on road.
We are old, we are slow:
but we produce
valuable study material!

studied in that binder; remove the 5 thick
sections and study one section at a time.
Nearly 17 pounds of paper material.

The Package is more than 1300 pages!


Two reasons why the CA FD tests are so hard:

1) they use questions from more
than 7 government code books,
and
2) there are multiple versions of the test.

Reason for the licensing exams:
Prior to receiving a funeral director license or a cemetery manager license,
or assuming those duties in the State of California, candidates
are required to successfully pass a written examination.
The primary purpose of the examination
is to help ensure public health and safety by assessing the
candidate’s ability to apply California health and safety laws,
as well as other relevant laws and regulations,
to the major duty areas of the practice of those occupations.

TESTIMONIAL:"I'm licensed in other states. But I failed the CA Funeral Director license test three times. Your material then helped me to pass." - AD

The funeral director examination covers three major duty areas that define the scope
of knowledge necessary for safe and effective practice. Each of the major duty areas
are weighted on the examination in terms of its importance in practice:
FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS (55%),
CONTRACTS (19%), and ADMINISTRATION (26%).

The cemetery manager examination covers seven major duty areas that define
the scope of knowledge necessary for safe and effective practice.
Each of the major duty areas are weighted on the examination in terms of its importance in practice:

CONTRACTS (19%), INTERMENT RIGHTS (9%), CARE FUNDS (9%),
DISPOSITION AND INTERMENT (28%), DISINTERMENT (9%),
CEMETERY OPERATIONS (11%), and RECORDKEEPING AND REPORTING (25%).

The examination outlines identify the
knowledge required to demonstrate acceptable
competence in each of the major content areas.
Content areas specify practical knowledge,
with references to statutes and provisions of:
 California Code of Regulations
 California Health and Safety Code,
 California Business and Professions Code
 California Welfare and Institutions Code
 California Government Code
 California Family Code
 Code of Federal Regulations

TESTIMONIAL: "I paid for travel, a hotel room, and $450 to attend a seminar. Nothing discussed at the seminar was related to my test, so I failed. So glad I next got your super package!" - RE

person who has been hired by the State
for the re-write of another DOCA state test,
thus learning some 'secrets' behind writing
their 'answer choices' and other test-question ideas!

at private schools, businesses and universities since 1988,
and has easily passed multiple state licensing examinations himself!--

If you get a CA Funeral Director license in 2025,
you will be about FD license #445x-#449x
(FD license #443x was issued in late 2025)

We have helped more than 4500
persons nationwide pass their

Another

Candidates are permitted to take the examination
only four times in a 12-month period.

A notice confirming your eligibility
for reexamination will be sent
approximately 90 days from
the date of the last examination.

The test:

100 questions, on a computer

Multiple versions of the test

2 hours to complete

Multiple-choice

70% or more correct needed to pass

Given at many locations 6 days per week

--Many applicants fail the written exam.

--Many versions of the test
(fail, and you are later re-tested with a different test).
(You need to be prepared to pass all of
the many versions of the test, not just one!)

We hear the same thing, every week:
"The material from the State didn't help at all".
- or -
"The stuff the State sent me was only good for a few questions".
- or -
"I have failed the test 3 times, and each time it was a different test".

Well, this is TRUE. And here's why-it-is-what-it-is.
The State is here to regulate you, NOT to educate you.

They pretty much provide you information
on things that they can fine ($) you for.
They do NOT help you with the majority of the test.
It is an 'experienced-based' examination.
The truth is: you do not know these things, causing most to fail.

Don't choke when you see the study topics!

Another

Not all test-takers are required
to get the same score to pass!

With some tests, a 73% is a PASS.
Others, 73% is a FAIL!

Here's what the state says:
"Examinations often vary in difficulty depending
on the form of the examination administered.
For this reason, the passing score is determined
using a criterion-referenced method
rather than a set score or percentage.
Applying the criterion-referenced method,
the difficulty of each item on the examination
is evaluated relative to the minimum
competence standard for safe practice.
As a result, the passing score is lower for
difficult examinations, and is higher
for easier examinations, providing a
safeguard to both the candidate and the public".

BONUS: Pass with our material,
we can make you a simple webpage FREE!

(If you don't have a webpage, the public & businesses can't find you to hire you.)

This package includes pages for related positions/
duties that a Funeral Director may need
to deal with during actual practice; it will
be a key business reference source for you.

Packages might have somequestion pages,
to stimulate your funeral director and
cemetery manager thinking;
and instead of giving you the answers,
we instruct some research for you to do!
Not to be ignored-- you might be tested on these . . .

Can include more 'KEY-FACTS KNOWLEDGE
DATASHEETS' to increase your test score!

--HERE ARE THE SECRETS!

Don't worry-- we know the best way.)

Much of the material is copyrighted: Many 2026 edition pages bear distinctive colored stamps,
dark 'ghost print' embedded-word watermarking, hidden inclusions, and/or serial numbers!

From a 35-year teacher of California state-licensing skills and test help:



WORST possible study methods:
1) Seminars, and 2) studying with multiple-choice questions
(low retention percentage, too many words per actual needed knowledge)

BEST possible study method:
reading Question/Answer, Question/Answer, Question/Answer,  . . .
(data direct to memory, higher word priority)
