    Default Study Content Of Department Testing

    Hello all,
    I'm a newly certified EMT-B. Everyone says go around and test at as many places as possible... Great! Can't wait, just need to know what should I be studying? Will I be quizzed on fire or unrelated things? General math and science? Sewing? I have no clue how to prepare myself... if somebody could just let me know what one of these department tests are like, that would be great. I want to pass and get my name on a list ASAP. Thanks!

    You should try to get a few of the several Firefighter Test prep books that are probably available at your local bookstore, or go to the Firefighter's Bookstore online. Some of the ones I know of are the Arco Firefighter Civil Service Test Book, Barrons How to Prepare for Firefighter Exams and Norman Hall's Firefighter Exam Preparation Book.

    Most of the tests involve general intelligence/knowledge and require no previous experience. The "wild card" so to speak is the "CWH" test which focuses less on general intelligence and has a lot of situational and personality type questions.

    What he said. Feel safe. If you have a high school education and dipolma, and actually applied yourself to basic reading, math, and comprehension of thought, you should not have that much difficulty with many tests that are out there today. They are some writen on a 10th grade reading level I believe

    Amateurs practice until they get it right; professionals practice until they cannot get it wrong. Which one are you?

    'The fire went out and nobody got hurt' is a poor excuse for a fireground critique.
