4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty advanced for what I saw on tests., April 28, 2005

This review is from: Norman Hall's Firefighter Exam Preparation Book (Paperback)

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.
