How to Pass the Fire-fighter Selection Process, by Mike Byron.  Available from the online shop @ fireservice.co.uk.

Also not that you are likely to be assessed on it go dressed smartlym also take paper pencil etc with you, you should be provided with everything you need though.

Good luck

there is a cracking book available from WH Smiths called "How to improve your IQ", this book gives you a test at the beginning and explains how to improve your results, the type of tests in the book were almost identical to the tests I did on joining South Yorkshire
