This booklet is divided into eight sections:  \n• Introduction-this section introduces the tests and provides you with a brief description of what they are.  \n• Preparing for the tests-this section provides you with some general advice on preparing to take the tests.  \n• How to use the question booklets and answer sheets-all of the tests use multiple choice responses; this section gives guidance on how to use the question booklets and answer sheets.  \n• Practice questions for the working with numbers test-this section contains the instructions and some practice questions to help familiarise you with what to expect when you take the working with numbers test.  \n• Practice questions for the understanding information test-this section contains the instructions and some practice questions to help familiarise you with what to expect when you take the understanding information test.  \n• Practice questions for the situational awareness and problem solving testthis section contains the instructions and some practice questions to help familiarise you with what to expect when you take the situational awareness and problem solving test.  \n• Answers to the practice questions – this section contains the correct answers for the practice questions so that you can check your own answers.  \n• Frequently asked questions-this section includes answers to some questions you may have about the tests and testing sessions.  \nWe strongly recommend you set aside some time to read through this booklet and practice questions prior to your test day.  \nFirefighter written tests  \nThere are three tests in total;  \n• Working with numbers test. This is a timed test that lasts 45 minutes. Firefighters need to be able to make basic mathematical calculations, e.g. for interpreting gauges or calculating how much hose is needed at a fire. This test will examine these abilities.  \n• Understanding information test. This is a timed test that lasts 30 minutes. It assesses your ability to understand and interpret the type of written information that you may commonly come across as a firefighter.  \n• Situational awareness and problem solving test. This is a timed test that will last 35 minutes. This test is designed to assess your ability to ensure the safety of yourself and others and your ability to use information to solve problems.  \nMore information about the format of the tests and what they measure is given in the practice section (Sections 4-6 of this booklet) . The tests have been designed to be highly relevant to the work of firefighters. They use scenarios and questions that reflect the type of activities and decisions that firefighters may need to make on a routine basis. Each test has been fully trialled and tested, and your performance will be compared to a large group of comparable firefighter applicants. Whilst realistic and relevant to the firefighter role no specific knowledge or experience of being a firefighter is required to complete the tests. You will not be at a disadvantage if you do not have this knowledge or experience.  \nEach test is assessed separately, but will be looked at together to form an overall measure of your suitability to become a firefighter.  \nThe tests are paper based and you will be given full instructions on how to complete each one before you take each test. An administrator will also be present at the testing session and will guide you on each stage of the process. At the beginning of each assessment there will be example questions to check that you have understood the instructions and to make sure you feel comfortable taking the test.  \nTo help you prepare, Sections 4-6 of this booklet include examples of the instructions as you will see them on the actual tests.  \nSectio","cbCailJfTJ76WC7g","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailJfTJ76WC7g","pdf",847128,57,"English","# Section One: Introduction\n## About this booklet\n## Firefighter written tests\n# Section Two: Preparing for the tests\n## General preparation\n## Complete the practice questions\n## The day before\n## On the day","[{\"question\":\"What are the three firefighter written tests and how long is each?\",\"answer\":\"There are three tests: Working with numbers (45 minutes), Understanding information (30 minutes), and Situational awareness and problem solving (35 minutes).
