Firefighter Exam Completed

I took the firefighter written exam last Thursday, it was pretty crazy.
There were probably 3,000 people there, we were supposed to start
at 9 am but didn't start till after 10 am because all the folk had to fit
into one room.

The convention center is pretty big, I guess I hadn't been there in a while.
The exam was nothing like I thought it was going to be. I got the books and
I studying them, I even got an exam book. When I took the United States Postal Service exam, it was just like the exam book and I did really good.

There was very little practical knowledge. I won't go over the questions because I signed some type confidentiality agreement. The reading exam was short, like 30 questions. That was the only thing out of the book. There was a math section which I did well on. Then there was the video section. I don't know how I did on that, it was the majority of the test. They wanted to know how I would react to living in the firehouse, and different situations involving my co-workers. I really don't know how I did, I'll have to wait tell them mail me back in a month.
