Almost every fire department in the country conducts some sort of written exam. Usually this is the first phase of the hiring process. It is interesting to me how many candidates needlessly worry or panic about these tests. Trust me, if you graduated high school or have a G.E.D. you already possess all the neccessary skills needed to achieve a passing score on the written exam. Most exams focus on the basics: Can you read?, Can you process what you read? Can you do basic math? Can you follow directions and so on. Again, so many candidates take themselves out of contention by not preparing for these written exams properly. So what's the trick? It's simple. YOU MUST OBTAIN A STUDY GUIDE AND YOU MUST DEDICATE YOURSELF TO PRACTICE EXAMS. It takes a little discipline and work, but put in the effort and treat yourself to the best career out there. Below you will find my top recommendations for firefighter study guides. I recommend buying at least two. You can get them from amazon the cheapest.
