How it's built

Weighted by real samples

We counted the topics in free sample questions from state academies and public practice banks, then gave the most-tested topics the most questions.

Tied to the standard

In the Fireground Support, Firefighter I and Firefighter II packs, answers cite NFPA 1010 sections and IFSTA 8th Edition chapters, so you can open your own book to the right page.

Checked against sources

Numbers and rules were checked against the public sources listed in each certification pack.

Try one

This is the style of every question in the packs: a clear stem, four choices, and a short "why" so you learn the method, not just the letter. Get the free 10-question sample PDF.
