S95 Practice Test

Hey, y’all! I’m here to share my experience with preparing for the FDNY S95 Supervision of Fire Alarm Systems certification exam. Let me tell you, this is no joke and requires some serious studying.

  • First things first, practice tests are a lifesaver! They give you a chance to see what the actual exam will look like and help identify any areas where you might need some extra work. I found plenty of online platforms to take practice tests on – thank goodness for technology!
  • The multiple-choice format is just like any other standardized test, but don’t let that fool you into thinking it’s easy. It takes real knowledge about fire alarm systems to choose the right answer from those tricky choices.
  • Speaking of knowledge, there are loads of helpful resources out there aside from just taking practice tests. Study guides, flashcards, and sample questions really helped reinforce everything I needed to know before hitting that exam room.
  • The FDNY provides some pretty legit reference materials too if you want an official source in your preparation process. Just go check out their website – it won’t disappoint.
  • Time management was also a crucial part of my studying process- which is why practicing with timed tests is super important. Believe me when I say it will save your bacon on test day!
  • Finally, analyzing my performance on each practice test helped me target specific areas where I needed improvement- which gave me way more confidence than simply memorizing facts blindly.
  • And last but not least- Google is absolutely your friend when searching for additional resources and courses that can help you lock down this certification.
