S92 Practice Test - Fire Dept. Prep

The S-92 Certificate of Fitness is required by the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) for individuals who supervise the use of portable fueled space heaters at construction sites.

No matter how much news you hear about how difficult it is to get certificate issued by the FDNY, do not think about it. Whoever takes it seriously, it is impossible for him not to achieve what he wants. Once you decide to look for a practice test, you are in the right place here. You will discover if it is easy or not. Either believe yourself. Or news and rumors. Many of New York City’s heroes, after passing the exam, come to thank us for the materials and preparation tests we provide that make it easier for them to obtain the certificate.

What is required of you now, after taking the practice test here, is to write down your notes, what mistakes you made and which topics you encountered difficulty in. Then after that, focus your studies, especially the ones you wrote down, and enjoy the results.
