The Complete FRV Firefighter Test Prep Course
The FRV Written Selection Test (WST) is a pre-employment assessment used by Fire Rescue Victoria to screen recruit firefighter candidates, covering Literacy, Abstract Reasoning, Numeracy, and Mechanical Reasoning.
The test runs about 2 hours and 5 minutes in total, with each of the four sections separately timed, and once a section ends you can't return to it. It's a competitive, time-pressured test rather than a specialist-knowledge one, roughly 70 seconds per question in three sections and 37 seconds per question in Mechanical Reasoning, so pacing trips up more candidates than the content itself. You can't bring your own calculator, but an onscreen one is provided for Numeracy. The WST is taken at ACER test centres across Victoria on scheduled dates, or online from home via live remote proctoring.
Our complete FRV WST PrepPack includes all four sections of the FRV exam. It contains timed section simulations, a full 132-question test simulation, detailed answer explanations, and realistic Written Selection Test conditions, built to improve your WST pass rate on your first attempt.

What's included in our FRV PrepPack?
We've created a comprehensive FRV prep course designed to help you succeed. Our course closely mimics the actual test conditions and platform, allowing you to identify and improve your weaker areas. With this focused preparation, you'll be confident and ready to excel on test day.
Why preparation matters: FRV's Literacy, Abstract Reasoning, Numeracy, and Mechanical Reasoning sections are strictly timed, delivered at a test centre or remotely under live webcam supervision, with no personal calculator, phone, dictionary, or paper permitted (only an A4 whiteboard and marker, plus the onscreen calculator built into the Numeracy section). There's no pausing the clock to think something through, and once a section ends you can't go back to it. Our practice tests are timed to match those same real conditions, so when test day comes, the pressure of the countdown and the proctor won't be something you're feeling for the first time.
Using our FRV Firefighter PrepPack, you get:
At JobTestPrep, we've helped thousands of candidates pass competitive hiring assessments since 1992. Our materials are designed by psychometric experts and updated based on real candidate feedback to reflect the latest test formats.
Tests your ability to understand and apply basic mechanical and physical concepts, such as gears, levers, pulleys, wheels, and pressure, and to predict how a mechanical system will behave. 32 questions, 20 minutes.
Tests your ability to work through arithmetic, fractions, percentages, algebra, and measurement in real-world contexts, under a visible timer. You can't bring your own calculator, but an onscreen calculator is provided for this section. 30 questions, 35 minutes.
Tests your ability to read and process written material efficiently, identify key details, and answer questions based on what's written, including some passages with graphs, charts, diagrams, or maps, under time pressure. 30 questions, 35 minutes.
Tests your ability to identify and complete sequences and patterns: recognising the rule governing a series of shapes and applying it to determine what comes next, what's missing, or what belongs in the middle. 30 questions, 35 minutes.
As soon as you're invited to sit the WST. Give yourself enough time to work through each section individually first, so you can identify and shore up your weaker areas, then finish with the full simulation close to test day to build your pacing and stamina under real time pressure.
No. This PrepPack is built specifically for the Written Selection Test (WST), the Literacy, Abstract Reasoning, Numeracy, and Mechanical Reasoning sections. The Group Assessment, Physical Aptitude Test, and Personality Profile are separate stages of FRV's recruitment process, assessed differently, and aren't covered here.
FRV was formed from the former Melbourne Fire Brigade (MFB) and Country Fire Authority (CFA), and the WST is administered by ACER, the same body that delivered aptitude testing when FRV operated as MFB. If you're applying under the FRV name today, this PrepPack is built for the current WST format.
Start with the full simulation to see where you stand across all four sections under real time pressure. Then spend your remaining time on whichever section scored lowest, since each of the four components must individually meet the minimum standard to progress, so you can't rely on a strong section to offset a weak one.
The free questions give you a taste of the WST's format. This PrepPack goes much further: full-length timed practice tests for every section, a complete 132-question simulation of the entire WST, and detailed answer explanations for every question so you understand the reasoning behind each answer, not just whether you got it right.
You will have instant access to your PrepPack, which includes all your practice tests. You can start practicing immediately, learning from detailed explanations and guides, while tracking your performance with accurate, tailored questions to help you understand the correct approach to solving your assessment.
