Norman Hall's Firefighter Exam Preparation Book

Customer Reviews:

Pretty advanced for what I saw on tests.

By Kevin Lynds - April 28, 2005

I bought this book along with the Barron's book and the combo of the 2 worked well I think (I ended up with a job where I wanted). The reason I gave this only 4 stars instead of 5 is that I took 3 tests and did not see any mechanical aptitude or math questions as advanced on the tests as some of those in the book. I spent a lot of time memorizing formula's that unless you were a mechanical engineer, I have know idea who would know this stuff off the top of their head (questions regarding force on a certain length lever over a certain distance or others related to force and distance regarding the pitch of a screw). Some of the math too seemed a little advanced for what I saw on the tests. I would suggest buying both books though, because it may give you a happy medium of which to study from. Better to have the info and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Great for test in Hawaii

By FreshmanGREEN - February 28, 2012

I took the State Firefighter test in Hawaii (Maui Airport). I used this book and the Barron's firefighter exam prep book. This book was a lot better for the mechanical aptitude and the mathematics portion of the test and the Barron's seemed to be better for the reading comprehension. The most helpful part of the books is really just the practice tests, because the test time goes by very quickly, so you want to be prepped and speedy at test taking when you get in to sit for the test. I got an 87 on the test (Decent, but I want to be mid-90's) but I think the time was more of an issue than being prepped for the material!! Definitely Recommend this book!!

Better to be over prepared than under.

By Piper - February 19, 2013

I've taken two entrance exams, used this book to study for both of them, and scored above a 90% on both exams. This book presents knowledge that is way above anything I've seen on the exam, which is awesome, because it sends you into the exam being ready to demolish the questions on the actual test. If you can complete the math sections in this book, then the ones on the test should be no problem for you. Also, there's detailed explanations for each answer. I had another exam book which was garbage; let's say you were working on math, for example, you'd go to the math section's answer key and there would just be a number. The Norman Hall book provides a step-by-step guide as to how they solved the math problem instead of just giving you the answer. This book may be a little more difficult than most exams in the USA, but I would rather prep hard on go into a test over-prepared than be under-prepared.

edit: The book takes for granted that you have a somewhat decent... read more
