, OVERVIEW
One of the first steps toward becoming a firefighter for the City of Conroe is taking and
passing a written examination. This examination study guide was written specifically
to assist you with test preparation, with understanding the different components of the
written examination, as well as providing helpful hints on test taking, and lastly, to
provide you with sample exam questions.
The Entrance Exam for firefighter measures the basic skills necessary to perform
successfully as a firefighter. The test covers four areas: (1) math skills, reading
comprehension skills, (3) spelling and vocabulary skills, and (4) ability to understand
logical sequences.
Upon arrival to take the written test, applicants will need to allot up to three (3) hours
of time for the examination. Dress appropriately and comfortably; business attire is not
required. You may want to dress in layers in the event the test room is too warm or
too cold.
It is important to follow oral and written instructions that are given to you prior to and
during the examination. Failure to follow test day instructions can be detrimental to
your final score and you could be disqualified for failure to follow instructions. It is
therefore, important to ask the examination administrator for assistance if you do not
understand any of the instructions. It is each test taker’s responsibility to manage their
time.
Scratch paper is not provided; however, you are encouraged to use the examination
booklet as your “scratch paper” and write directly in it if it is helpful. Examinees will
not be allowed to utilize items of assistance, including, but not limited to, cell phones,
PDA’s, calculators, documents, dictionaries, or any other aid.
