FST: Study Guide (for Firefighter Applicants)
The purpose of this guide is to enable you to efficiently and effectively prepare to participate in the administration of the Firefighter Selection Tool™ (FST™), a state-of-the-art test to identify those individuals who will excel in firefighting careers. The FST™ will be a critical hurdle in the pathway toward achieving an employment opportunity as a firefighter. This guide seeks to provide critical information about the FST™ that will allow you to prepare for the test-taking experience, hone your cognitive skills, minimize test-related anxiety and ultimately perform at your peak level. Practice items from each dimension type are included; in addition, a detailed a methodology of how to answer items from each dimension is provided.

Examinations can vary greatly in form and composition; therefore, we encourage you to be discerning about any other resources you may use to prepare for the FST™.

FST: Practice Test (for Fire Service Applicants)
Need more help studying for the Firefighter Selection Tool™ (FST™)?
The FST™ Practice Test provides you a 40-item diagnostic practice test, which is highly related to the actual FST™. Scores on this practice test will provide you a great amount of information regarding your likely performance on the cognitive ability section of the FST™. Your results can be broken down into the seven dimensions of the FST™, allowing you to identify your strengths and weakness so that you can focus your study efforts. The FST Practice Test was designed to accompany the FST Study Guide. The practice test provides a sample test and answer key but does not go into strategies for correctly responding to questions in the same manner as the FST Study Guide™.

Examinations can vary greatly in form and composition; therefore, we encourage you to be discerning about any other resources you may use to prepare for the FST™. This practice test was created specifically for the FST™ by the publisher of the FST™. No other source of information will be as informative or accurate concerning the content and construction of the FST™.
