ACER will only be conducting one written test for the Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) in 2012.
As the skills assessed by the Vocational Selection Tests are learned over a candidate's lifetime through different types of experiences, short term training for the tests is unlikely to improve performance. The best preparation is to read widely and think critically.
Practice material can help candidates become more familiar with the multiple-choice format of the questions on the Vocational Selection Tests.
Please note: practice material below is also suggested for firefighters (MFB) tests.
VST Sample Collection of Questions - developed for candidates for the Vocational Selection Test. The Sample Collection contains a set of 43 test questions, similar in style and content to the VST. Cost $22.00 (incl. GST).
VST Sample Collection of Questions Volume 2 - contains 64 questions including Interpersonal and Mechanical Reasoning questions. Cost $33.00 (incl. GST).
Practise Now! Mechanical Reasoning Supplement - an 8-page supplement containing worked examples and practice questions for tests of basic mechanical reasoning. Cost $5.95 (incl. GST).
