Thank you! I have my test tomorrow and so excited!!!!

I somewhat disagree regarding studying to pass the test. Yes, reading up on the test, what they define as police/fire/EMS/utils. situations, and maybe taking a few typing tests would be good, or even as a warm-up. However, as Criticall states, it's not really something you can study for. You either have the ability to pass, or you don't, and just because you ace Criticall doesn't always mean you're going to be a good dispatcher. Side note, for those concerned, the math section is like elementary school level. Background and reason for this conclusion: 18+ years of 911/air medical dispatch experience. Took the test twice, after leaving 911, to help my current company establish some baselines for new hires. So, no skin in the game for me and zero preparation. Took the test at like 3 AM in the middle of my nightshift years ago. Now a dayshifter, I took it about a month ago after coming in for a short meeting. My scores were identical in many categories and not more than 10% one way or the other in the remaining categories. So, that is my anecdote/counterpoint, don't waste more than an hour or two "preparing," as anything more is not likely to make much difference in you passing.

What website do I go to to check on the criteria for which scenarios go to EMTs, U, F, and P?

I have my test in 3days!

I just took the test yesterday. The agency I applied to actually shared my score. He said it was scored in 2 sections. One section, I scored a 93 (I assume that is percent) and the other was a number...I think something like 3800. Looking online, I see that it may have been keystrokes per hour?

30.00 an Hr? LOL where are you a Telecommunicator at? Here your lucky if you see 16-18. Not to mention most people LOOKING FOR work can't afford 50-60 dollars for a prep-test for a job they likely won't even get a interview on. The fact is, in most places, if you dont type at warp speed and have very* good data entry skills, your not going to make it as a Telecommunicator, even if you do manage to get hired. Many Firefighters such as myself (ret)have plenty of skill in decision making, resource allocation , prioritizing ect...But the fact is, this is not what agencies need or are looking for in a Telecommunicator. If you peck, or dont type by touch alone, you will not be able to do this job. Likely you wont even be able to pass the test. This was a fallacy with many firefighters I knew who became disabled or otherwise unable to function as a firefighter and thought they would become a dispatcher as they "already were familiar with the Fire Service and had the skills." No. Being a responder is something most Telecommunicators cannot simply lateral over and do -and being a Telecommunicator is something most responders only have some of the skills for and also cannot simply lateral over and do. If you are a Firefighter/ LE /EMS and think you can simply switch over to being a "dispatcher" -unless you also happen to have very good data entry skills, your mistaken. If your a former or current responder I strongly suggest you take a data entry course or a gain very* good FAST /accurate typing and data entry skills, then apply. While FF/LE/EMS bring some, limited, valuable experience/skills to a Telecommunicator job, they are FAR from the primary skills that are needed. What is needed, is RAPID, ACCURATE, DATA ENTRY...While NOT looking at the keyboard(pecking). The rest will come fairly quickly. As for 30 a hr , it's unheard of here in North Fl. Maybe in some larger cities where the cost of living is higher. But in many locations Telecommunicators are widely looked at (mistakenly) as nothing more than "secretaries that answer the phones" in most Departments. And despite having the same- or even worse stress, do not get the same "high risk" retirement benefits. Again this may vary by agency, and certainly location, but it's true for large portions of the South -esp rural Departments and agencies.
