About
PSI offers two kinds of Firefighter Tests. The Firefighter Multimedia Assessment (FMA) and the Firefighter Selection Test (FST). Both tests measures basic skills that are required for firefighters. Both the FDNY and the LAFD use PSI Exams.
LA Fire Department Test
To become a firefighter in LA, you must take the Firefighter Candidate Assessment (FCA). The FCA is provided by PSI. It is a computer-based exam with both video and audio components. The exam includes five portions, and you have a total of four hours to complete it. However, each portion of the FCA firefighter test is also individually timed. Once your time is up, you will be notified, and you will not be able to answer the remaining questions in that section.
The first three portions of the exam consist of video followed by questions based on that video. You also receive a training guide during the first three portions, which you may keep throughout the exam. After reviewing the training guide, you are presented with a video during which you are allowed to take notes. You may watch the video twice during the assessment. After the video, various types of questions will follow. The questions may be multiple-choice (with one or more answer options), audio, or matching.
The fourth portion of the LAFD exam requires you to read information and then answer questions based on that information. This section may include math questions.
The fifth portion of the exam is a background information survey. You will answer questions based on your personal and work experiences.
