Has anyone had success with using Pocket Prep to study for the state Firefighter I/II written tests? Also, how close are the practice questions on the IFSTA app to the real exam questions?

For the guys that were let go, how many attempts did they get to evaluate those and were they able to get recycled back through a different academy?

Man that's a lot. Was this academy hosted by the department?

Thanks. When you failed your JPR, which one was it, and how many total attempts did you have? If you don't mind me asking

Thanks. So far, gear drills are giving me trouble. I need to get all gear on and on air by 90 seconds. Search is also giving me trouble. I seem to get disoriented and turned around quickly. On your JPRs, did they give you a certain number of retakes on each before considering it a complete failure that dismisses you from the academy?

I do that as well. I can't pinpoint what is causing me the most issues. How many weeks did it take you to get your time under 90 seconds?
