The hubby and I are taking are permit to carry class tomorrow, and I was wondering how the range test works. Is it a timed test, if so, how many rounds do you shoot in that time, and what is the time limit? At what distances are the targets? He got the info a few months ago, but he has forgotten, so, I've come to you!
As Dean said....

It varies from instructor to instructor. I wouldn't worry about it.
I agree. Since all instructors do things a little different, there's one thing they all do........and that is to explain range & shooting proceedures and what's expected of them. Don't worry about it and don't be afraid to ask questions about your class.
When I took my P2C class, the range time consisted of the following:
Fired a total of 30 rounds. We were required to bring along 50 rounds, but it was explained that sometimes a student is so nervous, they can't 'shoot straight'.
That's what the 'extra' rounds were for (per my instructor), when I took my class.Each 'set' was 5 rounds per magazine (or reload revolver with 5 rounds).
The goal was to shoot 5 rounds, reload and fire 5 more........do this a total of 3 times at distances listed below. The instructor 'watched' 2 shooters at once. First shooter would fire 10 rounds (two 5 round mags), at one distance. While reloading magazines, the instructor would watch the second shooter.
Move target to the next distance & repeat.
Target distances were as follows:
7 feet, 15 feet and 21 feet (if I remember correctly).
Well informed and trained to train others, yes. 
), to demonstrate a technique, get your hand in the air, jump up & down, yadda, yadda, yadda.........
