Firefighter "Many of the questions in this book were on my Fire Fighter's exam." Firefighter "Without this book, I would not have been as well prepared for my Fire Fighter's exam." Book Description This 200 page, entry level firefighter book, offers ten practice written exams. Each exam has 100 questions along with an answere key. The 1,000 questions are comprised of: general aptitude, judgement, math/arithmetic, science, spelling, grammar, reading comprehension, forms, patterns, and mechanical comprehensions About the Author Arthur R. Couvillon is a vetran Firefighter with nearly thirty years of experience. Art shares the knowledge that he has gained during this period along with research and surveys that he has taken with fire authorities all across the U.S.A. Preparing for the written exam, I purchased four test-prep books. This was the only dissappointment. It is riddled with grammatical mistakes, type-o's, and just plain wrong answers to the questions (I'm not here referring just to places where I disagree with the author, but to such things that are positively mistakes--like mistakes in math which can be checked with a calculator). What makes this particularly problematic is that there are no explanations for any of the answers; so when your answer doesn't match that in the answer key, you may be left wondering whether it is you or the answer key which is mistaken. Also, this book contains no memory/observation questions and no directional orientation questions (these are component of many firefighter written exams). On the positive side, it does contain some question-types which are not commonly found in other test-prep books, such as cube-counting, number and letter progressions (i.e., "what's the next ! number in the series?"), and analogies. I have been led by other sources to expect at least one of these--cube counting-- on the Honolulu County exam which I will be taking. All things considered, however, this book needs a major overhaul if it is to be worth anything near its price. </pre> <a href="http://www.microcaddesign.com/books/">Home Page</a> [an error occurred while processing this directive] </body>
