Review: I would give this book 6 stars if I could. This is the best resource for helping prospective firefighters pass the written test.The written test used to strike fear into my bones. I began using Barron's book and found myself understanding the content more. This book covers every aspect of the written test in great depth. I used this book with two others and found this to be superior, by far. There are 7 sample tests included in this book and they are all very helpful. The book also walks the reader through the form of the written test and how to prepare for it. I strongly recommend using this book with at least one other. That way you can get the most of the sample tests that each of these books offer. All the major areas of Fire Department written examinations are thoroughly presented in a clear and easy to understant method. Skills that you'll need on the test are mentioned, study techniques, sample questions, hints, and score percentage meanings. Some of the memory passages were long and just like what many departments use. The mathematic portion is excellent, though if you're our of the loop it'll take a little time before you get it fully. After using this book for about a month, on a steady basis, I scored 85% on my first written exam.

Summary: Excellent Study Guide
Review: This is an excellent selection for an aspiring firefighter. The book gives sample tests to test your skills and also will improve your skills in idle areas. My favorite part of the book is the sample test because after taking and grading the test I would know where I stand. And anything I had trouble on I could study up on. It also provides great information on the physical exam and essential guidlines for the content of the physical exam. It will let you train for the specific area's and concentrate on certain criteria. Overall this is an excellent book that will make your chances of becoming a paid firefighter greater.
