An online firefighter testing suite to ensure that you are fully prepared for the Firefighter tests!
PREPARATION FOR THE FIREFIGHTER TESTS
- The firefighter tests that form part of the selection process are designed to assess your ability to carry out the tasks of a firefighter safely and competently.
- The only real way to prepare for the tests is to carry out lots of prcatice with sample tests that are very similar to the firefighter tests you will encounter during the actual assessment day.
- As part of the firefighter selection process you will be required to pass a comprehensive written test which includes a Situational Awareness and Problem Solving test, a Working with Numbers test and an Understanding Information test. Some fire & rescue services also test mechanical comprehension.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE UK FIREFIGHTER EXAM
In the weeks before your firefighter test, work hard to improve your skills in the testing areas. Try out as many test questions as possible and make sure you learn from your mistakes. The downloadable resource on this page contains 100s of sample Firefighter assessment questions and answers, that are guaranteed to help you become more prepared and improve your scores.
TIP 1
Get a good night’s sleep before the test day and don’t drink any alcohol or caffeine in the build up to the tests. It is important that you drink plenty or water in order to keep yourself hydrated.
TIP 2
On the morning of the test, get up early and have a final run through a number of sample test questions, just to get your brain working.
TIP 3
Eat a good healthy breakfast such as bran flakes and a chopped up banana. Don’t eat anything too heavy that will make you feel bloated or sluggish – remember, you want to be at your best.
TIP 4
Whilst not essential, we recommend you wear a smart formal outfit for the testing day. The reason for this is simply because the majority of candidates will be casually dressed. It is better to stand out for the right reasons. A member of the testing staff might just be on the interview panel.
TIP 5
Check the news for any potential traffic problems and leave in good time to arrive at the test centre with plenty of time to spare. Take a small bottle of water with you to help keep you hydrated.
The most effective way to prepare for these tests is to try out lots of sample test questions at your own convenience. We have created an Online Testing suite that will provide you with 100s of sample test questions!
When you purchase the Online Testing suite you will get INSTANT access to 100s of different test questions that will go a long way to helping you PASS the real test.
