PHASE I, EXAMINATION I-2
Exam I-2 — 75 Exam Items Adding Difficulty and Depth
The reading list for Exam I-2 is as follows:
1. IFSTA, Hazardous Materials for First Responders, 4"' Edition, Chapters 1 - 11, and 13.
2. Jones and Bartlett Learning, Hazardous Materials Awareness and Operations, 2" Edition,
Chapters 1 through 2, 3-9, and 12.
3. Essentials of Firefighting, 7" Edition, Chapter 24
During Exam I-2 progress will be made in developing depth of knowledge and skills.
< Helpful Hint - Follow each step carefully to realize the best Return on Effort (ROE). Would
you consider investing your money in a venture without some chance of return on that
investment? Examination preparation is no different. You are investing time expecting a
significant return for that time. If, indeed, time is money then you are investing money and
are due a return on that investment.
Instead of calling our expenditure of effort a Return on Investment (ROI) it is called a
Return on Effort (ROE). Doing things right and doing the right things in examination
preparation will insure the maximum ROE.
Directions:
Remove Examination I-2 from the manual. The reason for removing the exam from the
book is to make it easier to score and conduct the research for those guessed and
missed exam items. Another advantage is the portability of the exam so research and
scoring can be accomplished at any time or place.
First, take a careful look at the test. There should be 75 exam items. In Appendix C you
will find an Answer Form for Hazardous Material Awareness |-2 Examination. It can be
removed from the book for ease of marking. Fill in the appropriate bubble answer (A-D)
inink.
Remember the rule about changing the answer. Our research has shown that changed
answers are often incorrect, and often, the answer that is chosen first is the correct one.
If you guess the answer to a question, place an “X” or a checkmark by your answer. This
step is vitally important as you gain and master knowledge. We will explain how we treat
the “guessed” items later in SAEP®.
Next, take the examination. Once you complete it, go to Appendix A and score your test.
Once the test is scored, carefully follow the directions for feedback on the missed and
guessed exam items.
