Structure

All questions are 4-choice, multiple-choice, with 1 correct answer and 3
incorrect ones.  You either know it or you don't.

There are no "two of the above" or "pick the best answer".  Each question and
all four possible answers stand alone and clear.

Test length is Customer-specified - usually 100 Questions.

Each test is created from question banks - thus each one is unique and has
never been seen before, yet is composed of valid questions.  Customers can
order the same test next year, from the same books, and it will have different
questions.

Content

Customers specify which books to draw questions from, even which chapters,
and in what percentage.  We offer recommendations if asked.  All books in
print from any publisher are available, along with many in past editions.

Customers may include their own SOPs, SOGs, Union Contracts, Policies &
Procedures, etc.  Any document.

Orders may mix and match - say 30% from Book A, with none from chapter 5,
then 25% from Book B, no restrictions, then 15% from our SOG, only
sections 3 thru 12 ...

All questions are documented by book and page, and that report is available
to customers.

Scoring

We score using smart-scanner technology at no charge.  Turn-around time is
24 hours from receipt of answer sheets.  Customers may order answer keys
for self-scoring at an upcharge.

Custom scoring is available - such as pass/fail only, z-scores, scores
converted to some other measure, etc.

Customers may keep copies of answer sheets, and we keep records of all
responses to all questions by all Candidates on all tests we furnish.

same order next year or make modifications with a minimum of duplication of
effort.

Advantages to Using This System

1) Quality,  2) Security, and 3) Cost

1)  It is not easy to write good test questions.  Candidates will find and
challenge any ambiguity or assumption.  Test question quality is the most
valuable commodity in testing.  It requires tremendous resources to achieve.  
Fire Service Testing Company, Inc., is proud to be recognized as producers
of the highest quality of test questions.  Our questions are consistently
reported to be "fair" and "clear".

2)  Security is only achievable, and provable, if the test comes from outside.  
If anyone in the organization has prior knowledge of the test contents, then
sterility is lost and cannot be regained.  The organization is vulnerable to any
charges of improper sharing of knowledge, whether true or not.

3)  It costs about the same to order from us as to do it in-house.  When you
calculate and add up the hours needed to write the test, edit it, vet it, produce
it, store it, administer it, score it, deal with challenges - assuming time and
pay for those who would be involved, the costs are comparable.

Using us, you get:

A.  The finest commercial quality,
B.  From the sources you specify,
C.  Absolute security, and
D.  We handle any challenges.
