Firefighter I&II AcademyPractice Exam

DIRECTIONS

This practice exam is intended to help you prepare for the actual Firefighter I&II exam.Take it seriously so you ean evaluate where you *uy need to sfudy fuiiler- The answersate at the back of the exam with ihe pag" n mrber from the text *hr." tn" q"".tio" **--IAKEN. DO NOT LOOK AT TIIE ENSWBNS LINTIL YO]r I{AVE COMPLETED TIIEENTIRE EXAM The point is not to see how much yo" too* u,rtir-n"a #;r*;;;, to sfudy more prior to taking the real exam-

Take the practice examination, qlacing your answer in the line next to each question. Donot change your initial answer since research shows that changed ansrverc are most oftenincorrect and the initial answer is most often correct.

If you guess a! d-on't know an answer or get an answer wrong, circle that question. Findthe page number from the text where the q=uestion came to*"*J.toay tlolipug" o,section until you are clear on the answer. Hopefully, this will help you pinpoint areas
