Quick question: CPS - Firefighter Test exam format — paper or computer?

[medstudent_mk]

Stupid question but I keep getting conflicting information: is the CPS - Firefighter Test exam administered on paper or computer at most testing centers?

I prefer paper personally (easier to go back and annotate) but I want to know what to expect before I book.

Also — do you get scratch paper either way? I want to know if I can do rough work on the side.

The retake policy varies by state/certifying body. I had to wait 30 days. Check the official candidate handbook — it should spell it out.

Solid breakdown. I'd add: the night before, don't cram. Do one easy practice set just to stay warm, then sleep. Your brain consolidates material during sleep better than it does during a last-minute review session.

Appreciate you sharing the failure story. Most threads are just people celebrating passes and it makes you feel like everyone else has it figured out. The struggle is real for a lot of us.

Just passed yesterday using this exact approach. The practice tests at PracticeTestGeeks were my main resource and the score calibration was spot on.
