How do I contact support on test day?

Email help@fpsi.com. IT Support is available 7:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. PST on the testing day(s).

What do I need to take the test online?

You must have:
– A laptop or desktop computer (Windows, Mac, or Linux)
– All updates/virus scans turned off during your test
– Reliable internet (minimum 20 Mbps upload/download)
– A supported browser: Chrome (preferred), Safari, Edge, or Firefox

Can I pause or restart the test?

No. Once you begin, your 3-hour timer starts and you may not close the browser or leave the test. Please ensure you are able to spend up to 3-hours to take the test.

Do I need a webcam?

No webcam is required. Candidates are expected to take the test without assistance and without the use of a calculator. Integrity is one of the most important characteristics of a firefighter and you are expected to demonstrate this critical trait during the testing period. Measures have been put into place to confirm that your online test score accurately depicts your skills in the areas measured by the test. If you are unable to demonstrate consistency between your online test results and those integrity measures that the department may elect to use (i.e., a confirmatory test, a polygraph, etc.), you will be removed from the recruitment process.
