I need a Fire bolt spell to enter the Winterhold college. I bought one from Faralda at the entrance but doesn't show in my inventory. Can anyone help me to obtain the spell and pass the test she requires.
Thank you you for your help.

It's been a while since I've done the initiation test for the College, but if the book didn't appear in your items inventory under the books heading, try having a look in your spells inventory under Destruction. Was beaten to the punch.

Thanks for the welcome. I went back and bought it from Faralda. Also saw it in my magic(which I don't use). But when told I need to pass the test I don't know how to start that. If I pass the test do i get the key to the college?

Shoot the spell on the floor near her, should be some kind of College symbol on the ground. After that follow her up the bridge and she'll unlock the College.

Suggestion. It's a great spell. I use it all the time (I love incinerate and fireball too, but they're a bit to unpredictable in tight places). Just favorite it and set it to either your right or left hand and fire away at the circular symbol with the eye in the middle of it to the right (your right) or Faralda. Be careful not to hit her.

You're lucky. You get firebolt, I get "Turn Undead" or "Magelight" or something like that that I never use. Sheesh.

ok guys...I used the firebolt on the diagram on the floor....she got ♥♥♥♥♥♥ at me and started firing firebolts at me as an enemy.....I need to get into the college for a quest to finish the Forbidden Legend quest. I have done 2 parts but need a key from a colege quest. Thanks for all the previous replies. Now I need one more answer.
Thanks

You must have hit her instead of the sign on the floor.

You'll need to give it a few days for her to calm down.

Suggestion: If you've done at least the beginning of the main questline, you'll have a couple of shouts available. She'll also let you in if you tell her your the Dragonborn and demonstrate a shout (I suggest whirlwind or ethereal as Fus Do Rah is kind of agressive).

I still find it odd that she would ask for a firebolt spell. I have never had her ask for an offensive spell from me. The closest I've come is having her ask for me to conjure a flame antronach.

BTW: Why do you need to get in for Forbidden Legend? I don't remember the college even being a part of that questline. I could be wrong, but, isn't that the one with the 3 brothers? Oh! I see, you need to go with Tolfidir. Now it makes sense.

Do you have a prior save you can revert to before you pissed Faralda off? She's a pretty bada** sorceress so I wouldn't mess with her.

Try "sheathing" your hands. That should be taken as a sign of submission and hopefully calm her down. If that doesn't work, run away and come back in a day or two. Talk to the nearest guard and pay off your bounty if you have one. If you do she may still be aggressive when you come back so I would really suggest just paying it.
And as Daelon said, I would suggest trying to get in this time as the Dragonborn and use a non-aggressive Shout if you have it. Or maybe try picking a non-aggressive school like Restoration if you don't have anything except Unrelenting Force for Shouts.
And if all else fails, reload your last save. Good luck!
