This review is from: Firefighter Written Exam (Paperback)

I can't come up with the words to describe how bad this book is. It's completely full of typos, spelling errors and duplicate facts/phrases (on the same page even). Worst of all there are many errors in the answer sheets and practice tests so you never really know if you've studied the correct facts. I cannot imagine that anyone proofread this book before going to press.

Skip this one, it's seriously not worth the time to pick it up and there are better study guides out there.

This review is from: Firefighter Written Exam (Paperback)

This book contained all of the different types of information and questions I needed to study in order to do well on my fire exam. In fact, the questions in the book were generally more difficult than those found on the fire exam itself and the book contained reams of information which, while dull to read, came in very handy in some of the oral components of the exam. I showed the book to an experienced Firefighter and he recognized many of the questions in it right away.

It is also a more proven sleep aid than Ambien can ever claim to be...

I purchased this for my son to use to study for the exam. He said it was helpful to him and he passed the exam. I did not read it myself, so I can't offer any further info.
