Portland, OR Firefighter....

[GoCougs]

Ok thank you

[nwfire17]

Thats plenty of time. You'll probably finish a little earlier than that anyway. It'll only take about 20 mins to get from the test to the airport.

[GoCougs]

OK I need help figuring something out. I am flying into portland on the 31st for the test. My test will start at 10 AM on Wed. There is a 4:15 pm flight out of portland that same day, is that enough time to get to the airport if the test gets over with at 2?

[GoCougs]

Alright, Thanks guys. I look in our book store tomorrow

ARCO and Barron's? Where can I get these?

Most any bookstore in the self-help/study guides/reference area.

Good luck,
bam

books

You can get them on line at amazon.com or if in the PDX area, Powell's books may have them. I'm 98% sure there isn't any fire questions. Check with the recruiter for specifics

[GoCougs]

And your saying that there are no fire questions? On the TVF&R there is nothing but fire questions from their study guide

[GoCougs]

ARCO and Barron's? Where can I get these?

[ogomez]

PDX test

Get the ARCO and BArron's study guides. It isn't an open book, it's a typical civil service exam: read comp, math, sciences, no fire ?'s

[GoCougs]

I believe that it is a memorization-recall type of test. I might be wrong though

[Moosefire05]

Ogomez, can you tell us what the structure of the test is for PF&R? Is it an open book type test, or memorization-recall type test? Any info you can give would be helpful. Thanks.

test

I think it is 4 hrs ( don't quote me)

if you pass then a 3 person interview, pass then the PT test, then the capt interview.

[GoCougs]

Yes I am.

Also does anyone know how long the test for PF&R is?

[Aeverman]

go COUGS:

Are you in Pullman?

[GoCougs]

I just called human resources and they told me that was all they were collecting at the moment. After the test they will start accepting more information
