Firefighter Exam Sample Questions
Numerical Reasoning
Numerical reasoning questions have you looking for information in graphs and tables, among others, to look for answers to questions using math and reading ability.
Try this numerical reasoning sample question:
| Brewery | Operational Costs (M. Dollars) | Marketing & Development (M. Dollars) | Monthly Output (Thou. liters) | Total Output as % of 2004 | Revenues (M. Dollars) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Richmond, CA | 3.6 | 12 | 12000 | 120% | 25 |
| Malmo, Sweden | 0.3 | 2.2 | 1200 | 90% | 3 |
| Torino, Italy | 2.8 | 3.5 | 8000 | 70% | 14 |
| Ottawa, Canada | 0.28 | 8 | 1000 | 80% | 3 |
| Canberra, Australia | 0.3 | 7 | 4500 | 110% | 8 |
| 1 liter is sold for 1.5 dollars | |||||
If production for the brewery in Ottawa, Canada was expected to increase by 40% in 2006, by how many thousands of liters would its monthly output differ in 2006 compared with the output in 2004?
Verbal Reasoning
In this test, you will be asked questions that assess your ability to comprehend written information and draw conclusions from it.
Try this verbal reasoning sample question:
About half of all women and many men will experience urinary tract infections at some point in their lives. They are usually caused by Escherichia Coli (E. coli) bacteria.
It is common knowledge that E. coli can grip human cells using appendages with tiny protein hooks on their tips, but this protein's structure, or how it interacts with human cells, is less-known.
The hooks consist of interlinking chains of this protein, called FimH, which are difficult to pull apart into separate molecules. Researchers in Switzerland have recently managed to isolate individual FimH molecules for the first time.
They found that when FimH is pulled by tensile forces – as during urination – the protein grips tightly to the sugar molecules that coat the surface of human cells, making it very hard to flush out. When urination stops, the force disappears, the protein can release its grip, and the bacteria now move to the bladder.
Statement: Half of the population will suffer from a UTI during their lifetime.
What is the truth value of the statement?
Deductive Reasoning
This test is designed to assess your ability to apply general rules to specific situations and come to logical conclusions.
You will be presented with multiple-choice questions usually offering 4 answer options, of which only one is correct.
Try this deductive reasoning sample question:
