across 4 sections — including two full video sections most candidates have never practiced. Format mismatch is the #1 killer.
top-of-list threshold in most departments. Passing isn't enough — departments hire from the top of the list first.
eligibility lists expire after one year. Miss your window and you're retesting from scratch — 3-month wait minimum.
76 video scenarios. Actors in real dispatcher situations. You judge responses in real time. Text practice builds zero transferable skill for this format.
Fractions, percentages, ratios — under test pressure, without a calculator. Most candidates who feel "good at math" still underperform because they haven't drilled mental calculation methods.
36 questions with video clips of mechanical systems. Not diagrams. Not static images. Moving parts — assessed in real time. Textbook mechanical prep doesn't prepare you for this.
Departments pull from the top of the eligibility list when academy classes open. Top candidates get the next slot. Mid-list and below wait — often until the list expires.
Low score means starting over: 3 months before you can retest, then waiting for a new test date, then the eligibility cycle again. One poor test day can cost 6–12 months.
Eligibility lists are typically valid for 1 year. Score mid-list in a slow hiring year and your score may expire before an academy class opens. Score top of the list and you're called first.
The FireTEAM Human Relations and Mechanical Reasoning sections are delivered via video. Practicing with text-based questions or static diagrams builds zero transferable skill. You're not just learning content — you're learning to process moving information under time pressure. Format mismatch is the most common reason candidates underperform.
Human Relations is 45% of the FireTEAM test — the single heaviest section. Most candidates split their prep time evenly across all four sections. Candidates who score top of the list invest disproportionately in Human Relations video practice. Equal prep time for an unequal test is not a strategy.
Two sections are video-based. One has no calculator. Each rewards a different cognitive skill. Here's what you'll face on test day.
You and your crew arrive at an industrial facility reporting a warehouse fire. As you assess the situation you face four simultaneous crises: a warehouse fire spreading to adjacent buildings, four workers trapped on an upper floor, a critical electrical infrastructure at risk of secondary explosion, and three injured civilians near the perimeter. Which response do you prioritize first?
A fire truck's water tank holds 510 gallons. The pump discharges water at a rate of 30 gallons per minute. How many minutes will it take to empty the tank completely?
Read the passage and select the word that best completes the sentence.
"After the chemical spill, fire crews established a safety ______ around the affected area to prevent civilians from approaching the hazard zone."
A video clip shows a gear system where Gear A (20 teeth) drives Gear B (20 teeth), which in turn drives Gear C (20 teeth). Gear A rotates clockwise at a constant speed. A force is applied to the left side of Gear C pushing it clockwise, while an equal opposing force pushes it counter-clockwise. What is the net effect on Gear C's rotation speed?

— Michael Lerner, founder · PrepTerminal
Michael built FireTeam QuickPass™ because qualified fire candidates kept scoring mid-list — not from lack of ability, but because no one built prep materials in the right format. The Human Relations and Mechanical Reasoning sections are video-based. Preparing with text is preparing for a different test entirely.
After years working with candidates who underperformed on the FireTEAM and then succeeded once they had the right format practice, Michael built the course he wished had existed. Two things sit at the core: full-video HR simulations that match the actual test, and a structured HR scoring framework that teaches you how the scenarios are actually judged — not just what feels like the "right" answer.
The guarantee isn't legal language — Michael reads every refund email personally. No forms, no support tickets. If this course doesn't prepare you, you get your money back.

PrepTerminal's FireTEAM practice test prepares candidates for the Ergometrics FireTEAM Test — the standard entry-level firefighter aptitude exam administered by NTN (National Testing Network) and FCTC (FireFighter Candidate Testing Center). The test evaluates Human Relations judgment, mathematical reasoning, reading comprehension, and mechanical aptitude across four sections and 170 total questions.
The Human Relations section (76 questions, 57 minutes) and Mechanical Reasoning section (36 questions, 43 minutes) are both delivered via video — making format-specific practice essential. Text-based preparation builds no transferable skill for these sections. Math (31 questions, 25 minutes) is taken without a calculator. Reading (27 questions, 15 minutes) tests comprehension under time pressure. Candidates are ranked on an eligibility list; departments hire from the top of the list when academy classes open.
Starting firefighter salaries range from $45,000–$75,000/year depending on department, location, and rank, with benefits, pension, and structured advancement. Scoring top of the eligibility list accelerates the academy timeline significantly. This course is independently developed and is not affiliated with Ergometrics®, NTN®, FCTC®, or any fire department.
Your progress will be lost and you’ll have to start over from question one. Your score and AI feedback only generate after every section is answered.
Five FireTEAM-style questions across Math, Reading, and Mechanical Reasoning — the same difficulty and timing pressure as the real Ergometrics® assessment. Your predicted FireTEAM score, weakest section, and pace — instantly.
