FDNY Exam 2000

[dkjets75]

The FDNY pdf tutorial seems pretty good. The math is extremely basic, I would continue to prepare as if it will be more difficult just so there are no surprises on test day.

It's sad to see that it looks like there won't be any memorization on the test. It was such a tradition, I never thought it would go away. I guess all those hours I spent practicing the memorization portion as a kid were a waste... haha

I think I found a mistake in the Don McNea/Vulcan prep book. It's question 73 in the Don McNea and question 23 in the Vulcan Book. I answered C but they have it as answer A. It clearly says open unused discharge openings in the passage but they have the answer as open all discharge openings. Anyone else notice this ? Or if I'm wrong can someone explain to me where I'm getting this wrong.

Yea the memory is always a win above the competition for me. Saw a guy cheating on a civil service exam last year. He was caught yet allowed to stay. I was livid.

I was able to locate the second video that I remember watching at the Vulcan session A class here is the link Tonight's Sky: February 2012. The video only lasted approximately 3 mins not the entire 6:50. If you attended portion B of the Vulcan information session can anyone chime in please thank you.

UPDATED:

Here is the lesson Plan A from when I attended the Vulcan meeting in Brooklyn.

Lesson Plan A

Youll get the same training, but you wont have to pay for it. You will be the go-to-guy in the squad for help though.

Thanks Skyline. Fortunately I enjoy teaching more than actually performing EMS type work so it shouldn't be a problem.

Got the email today that went out today as well, a lot of basic stuff but helpful nonetheless.

I haven't. Looks like it should be this week though.

Skav and Tom, I agree those are both definitely typos. You guys should email the mcnea fire school with that info.

Yup, I caught that too haha. Literally flipped back and forth like 12 times. I was like shut up answer key im smarter than you! I think there were 2 false answers in that first test.

Can anyone tell me what the difference between the vulcans and don McNea booklets? Does the McNea have more material compared to the vulcans prep book?

It's the same exact questions, the only difference from what I've seen is that they have the questions in a different order.

[myles8683]

so with the risk of sounding like an idiot why do i keep getting 4.5 for my answer to the last question in the math pdf? math isnt my strong point but i got all of them correct until the last one. anyone?

[QCFRANKC]

When are the vulcan prep classes for queens this week?

[FlashingLights]

On the official FDNY video prep "Infant CPR" The answer to question 15 is actually D. Check for the pulse on the inside of the arm between the elbow and shoulder....cant trick me!

@ Myles. FF Harris ate 9gm of protein(1 serving of trail mix 1.5 servings of pretzle twist), FF Johnson ate 4g of protein(2 servings of rice cakes). 9-4=5

Nah, memorization was replaced with the video portions. But like pw said don't sleep on the memorizations when it comes to the video. Anything in the video is far game so just keep that in mind. Good luck to next weeks test takers let us know how it was.

[jcasler]

so if a lot of people end up getting perfect scores how do they go about putting a list in order for hiring? what do they go by?

Yeah the memory video stuff is the only thing I have trouble with. I wish there was another test to try out or a site to study from, but who knows what's obscure **** they will ask ask.
