Are these real FACT questions?
They are realistic, FACT-style practice questions built to mirror the format, difficulty, and section structure of the real Firefighter Aptitude and Character Test. They are not copies of the live exam — they are original practice material written by a Canadian firefighter.
How is the FACT different from CPS?
The FACT and CPS test similar competencies but differ in question style, section layout, and scoring. Many Ontario applicants prepare for both — Firefighter Academy covers each with dedicated practice.
What score do I need to pass the FACT?
Passing thresholds are set by the administering body and can vary by recruitment cycle, so verify current requirements with OFAI and the department you're applying to. The best strategy is to aim well above the minimum by drilling your weakest sections.
