      @@fernyfloresdrummer3568 I’d say give yourself a month with no distractions and 30-40 min a day a dedicated to studying or brushing up on any subjects you feel you need to. Idk what your test will consist of but I’m sure it will be similar to some RUclips videos posted that you can watch like this one.

    It is basically standard math and reading but also, reading directions and using a map to choose the best route, gear rotations, pulley physics, load weight and balance etc

      Thank you for all of your help with your videos, you helped me tremendously.
      I spent time months in advance watching your videos and taking notes. I advise anyone to do the same as well. They will be able to tell who really worked for their spot on the team. Never give up if you fail, get right back up and try again, you got this!

    Hey there, I am 40 years old this year I’m looking and have already applied to the fire department in the county I live in. Three reasons I love leader ship I love maintaining individual/team equipment, And I love being a part of a team and going through the ups and downs with those members. As I work in garden centers/ nurseries in retail environments, Civil service is in could look like a dramatic change. I have a physical ability test scheduled next week for the past year after being able to help through Lowe’s those who were affected by a tornado I looked at some civil service type jobs fire fighter stood out. Therefore I’ve been training for the last seven months running push-ups sit ups I’m already in good shape it is by far has gotten me to my peak. I think the biggest obstacle is my age what are your thoughts on this are there anyone in other departments that I’ve joined this late in their life.

    Are there any videos on spatial and directional awareness? I can't find much on this subject and it seems to be the subject I struggle with the most.
    My department I am applying for gives you a book of maps and then gives you an hour to look at them, and then sends you to lunch, then you come back and have to answer questions about those maps.
