What's on the CPS firefighter test
The CPS firefighter test typically includes memory recall, reading comprehension, mathematical reasoning, mechanical aptitude, and human relations / judgment scenarios. Every section is timed. There's no calculator. Most candidates underestimate the math and mechanical sections — Firefighter Academy gives you full prep across all of them.
How to prepare
The single best way to prepare is realistic, timed practice. Read each question carefully, eliminate clearly wrong options, and don't get stuck — flag and move on. Use Firefighter Academy's analytics to see which sections you're weakest in, and lock in there.
