Texas Civil Service Firefighter Exam Prep
The written exam is general aptitude. Seventy percent is the statutory pass. Vacancies are filled from the three highest grades on the live list. Start with the booklet named on that city's notice.
Start with the city notice
Texas Chapter 143 firefighter entrance exams are open, competitive, and free. The written grade is on a 100-point scale. Seventy percent is the statutory minimum. Vacancies are filled from the three highest grades on the live list. Five veteran points are added only after a passing grade (Tex. Loc. Gov't Code §§143.025 and 143.026). The exam tests general aptitude. It is not the TCFP structure-fire exam. Start with the current civil-service notice for the department you want: that notice names the vendor and the study booklet. Buy that booklet, not a generic firefighter exam book, unless a later official notice names a different instrument.
How to use this study aid
Read the current civil-service notice for the city you will test with. Buy the official vendor booklet named on that notice. Then take Ready to Serve's original 25-question practice set. The practice set is not an official city exam.
