      About The Exam

      The FDNY exam is a new breed of civil service exam. As a result of a federal lawsuit, it can no longer test for firefighting knowledge, skills, or vocabulary. It is absolutely critical that you understand the format of the exam before you walk into the exam site. Visit:

      http://www.network4learning.org/fdny-test-review-guide.html to find links to video tutorials and interactive practice questions that will show you how the exam works.

      The FDNY examination is four hours long and consists of five parts.  Parts 1-4 are the cognitive assessment section. It consists of the traditional types of questions you would expect to find on a firefighter exam. Abilities tested include: reading comprehension, ability to learn and apply information, reasoning, listening comprehension, and basic arithmetic. The cognitive section contains between 50 and 60 questions. There are a series of approximately 25 items based on 3 video segments and 30 items based on a sample training manual.

      The FDNY exam contains a 65 question personal background Information Survey that assesses the candidate’s psychological profile. It is closely modeled from the Big 5 psychological exam and assesses the following characteristics: conscientiousness, agreeableness, emotional stability (neuroticism), interpersonal competence (emotional intelligence), and truthfulness. The exam has its roots in the MMPI and CPI exams, which are much more comprehensive in their scope and ability to detect work environment personality concerns.

      The psychological exam items are very short and easy to answer. Primarily, understand that these questions are designed to detect attempts by candidates to misrepresent themselves. The questions are designed to detect inconsistent responses that underscore a falsely positive portrayals of candidates’ personalities.

      Optimal performance relies upon being honest with yourself during the exam. Do not read too deep into the questions, and don’t obsess over the response to any single question. The exam is very limited in its ability to provide a truly accurate picture of your personality.

      It is strongly recommended that you take as many civil service exams as possible prior to taking the FDNY exam. Practice and experience are your best ally in becoming a New York City firefighter. If at all possible, you should take one or more of the computerized exams offered by New York City such as the Traffic Officer or NYPD exam. They are inexpensive and give you firsthand experience using the same type of computer terminal you will use on the FDNY exam.

      Requirements

      Candidates must be at least 17 ½ years of age by the end of the application period and have not reached their 29th birthday by the beginning of the application period.

      EXCEPTIONS:

      All persons who were engaged in military duty as defined in Section 243 of the New York State Military Law (including candidates on the lists noted above) may deduct from their actual age the length of time spent in such military duty up to a maximum deduction of six years

      To be hired as a New York City firefighter you must:

      Pass both the computer-based test and physical ability test

      Be a U.S. citizen at the time of appointment

      Be at least 21 years of age

      Be able to prove your identity and the right to obtain employment in the United States under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986

      Meet established medical and psychological guidelines

      Pass a drug screening

      Demonstrate proof of good character and pass a background investigation

      Be able to understand and be understood in English

      By the date of appointment, have a four year high school diploma or its educational equivalent and at least 15 college semester credits earned as a result of satisfactory completion of course work at a college or university accredited by an accrediting body recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education and the Council for Higher Education or; full time military service with an honorable discharge; or 6 months of full time, satisfactory paid work experience

      Hold a valid New York State motor vehicle driver's license

      Be a resident of one of the five boroughs of New York City, or live in Nassau, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Suffolk or Westchester County

      *In addition, you will be required to be a Certified First Responder with Defibrillation (CFR-D) by the end of your probationary period. FDNY provides a CFR-D training program during the probationary firefighter training course. Upon successful completion the FDNY's CFR-D course and receipt of CFR-D certificate, payroll deductions will commence at a rate of $30 per pay period until the total cost of the training course is recouped by the FDNY. Those who fail to obtain a CFR-D by the end of probation will be terminated.

      Test Preparation Strategies:

      Beginning Your Preparation

      Begin preparing and studying as soon as possible. You want to engage your long term memory, which can only be done over a period of months.

      Find a regular time in your schedule when you can devote a half an hour or more of quiet study time.

      Set a schedule and stick to it. Discuss your schedule with your family, so that everybody understands your need for uninterrupted study time.

      Start practicing your memory skills in everyday life. If you are walking and see a
