The NFST firefighter exam is a timed, multiple-choice test. Your score is based solely on the number of correct answers, without penalty for wrong responses. Therefore, it is to your advantage to answer every item. Feel free to guess if necessary.
The general aptitude portion of the FPSI firefighter written exam consists of six sections. Additional details about each section can be found below:
All of these questions are designed to assess a candidate's reasoning skills, and they usually appear as a sixth section in the NFST.
Individual fire departments determine how many of the test's sections to use in their tests. Many include all six sections in their NFST firefighter exam.
In addition to the six areas of the Comprehensive Examination Battery (CEB), which are outlined above, some Fire & Police Selection, Inc. tests also include a Work Style Inventory (WSI) exam. The WSI is a personality test that assesses the traits, work preferences, styles, and methods essential for success as a firefighter.
