I say again, ask them!

Sounds like the situation I was in when I applied to be retained years ago, the station were struggling like hell for day cover, USUALLY its the maths side of things that trips most people up, depends what your weaknesses are pal. fireservice.co.uk has lots of info, maybe worth a peek

Must waste loads of your time, first bad habbit I've seen that takes longer than the normal way of doing things.

Good luck with the job.
