ok, i bought this week couple weeks ago to prepare for my FF1 and 2 Arizona state exam. my exam was literaly about 30mins ago. i have yet to get my pass/fail on it but i can tell ya i guarantee i passed. ALOT of the questions i encountered were directly from this book. i highly recommend it to anyone testing.i plan on buying the aircraft portion as well.BUY THIS BOOK!!!
I bought this book and it completely helped on the Fire Fighter I exam. I scored a 95%, which was higher than I anticipated, but this book made me feel very confident, which was what I was looking for. I also passed the Fire Fighter II with this book. 84% on FFII.I was really surprised how many questions on the exam I had seen in this book. It was the first exam that I was actually amused taking it because I had seen everything before. In the end, I am glad I bought it because confidence never hurts!!
I bought this book because I wanted to get prepared for my Fire Fighter II test. I have completed the entire testing and really enjoyed the way they had all of the questions set-up. As you keep taking the test it manages to keep you working and learning harder each time. There are about 750 questions total so the book really gets you dialed in for the test. After the quizzes they have a section on how to prepare you mentally and physically for the test and how to control any test anxiety. Over all I would recommend this book to anyone who is getting ready to test.
I hold a graduate degree and wanted to volunteer in my community. Firefighting 1 required the textbook Delmar, Firefighter's Handbook, 2nd Edition. Since the required textbook contains several hundred pages of unfamiliar material I bought the book primarily because I needed an aid to outline the important areas to study.Although each question is not explained in detail. The answer key refers to various textbook pages for your research. A few HAZMAT questions are covered on the FF1 material, however, this book does not cover that material.The following books are referenced in each answer key: Delmar, Firefighter's Handbook, 3rd Edition; IFSTA, Essentials of Firefighting and Department Operations 5th Edition; Jones and Bartlett, NFPA, Fundamentals of Fire Fighter Skills, 2nd Edition. I had no problems researching the material in Delmar, Firefighter's Handbook, 3rd Edition although the Academy required use of the Delmar's 2nd Edition.Pros: the information is easily laid out for review. The information is relevant to FF 1 and 2 although most of my graduating class passed the exam without this study book. I believe they could have improved their scores with this study material as well as increased their personal knowledge. This book will help you become more engaged in the subject matter.Study Plan: A successful student will read the course material (Fundamentals of Fire Fighter Skills, 2nd Edition) and pay very close attention to the Academy Instructors during classes and field training (listen to everything they say; they welcome questions). The instructors in New Hampton, New York are very well versed in their specific areas of expertise. They take their jobs seriously, have a passion to teach, and want you to succeed. Then, use this study guide to enhance your knowledge of the subject matter. If you have the money go for it although you can pass Firefighter 1 without this book if you know what to study.
First let's define what this book is. It is a set of practice exam questions... 3 exams for FF1 and 3 exams for FF2. The exams in each section build on each other. The book contains the answer key that also gives you the reference (book/page) to the correct answer. There is a process that book outlines that I think is a good one and should be followed.My issues: I found at least one incorrect answer (Minor issue). While the questions in this book are good and cover a wide range of material, there really weren't that many questions that helped me with the exams that I took in the State of Kansas (KF&RTI). This book may have more applicability to other state exams than mine. So while I like the book, I wouldn't recommend it for any taking the exam in Kansas, your mileage may vary.
Anyone who is taking firefighter II must buy this book for studying. This book helped me get a very good score on my test 2 weeks ago. If you dont get this book, then you are only hurting yourself. thanks for such a good exam prep.
I highly recommend this book for the firefighter 1 and fire fighter 2 examination. When using this book in conjunction with the ifsta manual you should have no problem passing either test. Keep in mind the test questions will vary from state to state or jurisdiction. The hints for helping pass the test are very useful.
The exam did have many questions that were not in this book. However, studying with this book was extremely helpful and very good practice for my FF2 exam. I would highly recommend getting this book to use as study material
