MANAGEMENT IN THE  FIRE SERVICE STUDY HELPER
The role and responsibilities of officers in the fire service has gone well beyond the management of
personnel on the fire ground. The book Management In The Fire Service explores the skills and techniques
that competent managers successfully use in business, government, and voluntary organizations, and
applies them to the fire service. Management In The Fire Service Study Helper Version 1.0 can help a fire
officer succeed as a manager and leader, while improving the overall performance of the fire department
unit. This software can help give the potential officer the edge needed in scoring high in promotional exams.
Based on Management

The Questions

There are 512 questions in the registered software package spanning 12 chapters. Plus a Terminology section containing 103 pertinent
definitions from the NFPA text.

User Control

The focus of this software has always been on giving the user as many ways to manipulate the questions as possible. We have many
features included in Management in the Fire Service Study Helper with the sole purpose of making it easier for the user to learn the material.

Features

1) Page References to NFPA Management in the Fire Service 3rd Edition for easy look up of questions. Space on the notes pages to add
your own comments, hints, or notes to questions.

2)
The ability to search the database for key words. Example - Search for Standards - Returns all the questions which contain the word
Standards.

3)
Keeps track of your progress three ways. Management in the Fire Service Study Helper has three ways to track your mistakes:

    A) In one module you can list questions that you incorrectly answered in the past. Once you answer the question correctly it clears that
        question from it's memory.
    B) The Elephant Memory never forgets your incorrectly answered questions until you clear the memory yourself. This allows you to
         drill on difficult questions. Once you have mastered these questions you can clear the elephant memory.
    C) The third method allows you to take an on-screen test and print out the test results. The results will display all the questions with
          the answers. Incorrectly answered questions are also displayed showing the correct answer and the answer you selected.
          You can then print out these results or save the results to a file to open and review later.

4) Save your last session. With a click of the mouse you can return to your previous session to continue taking a test.

5)
Wizards that build test packages. With our easy-to-use test package wizard you can create tests, which can build test packages that
contain questions, answer sheets, and answer sheet correction keys. These packages can then be saved to disk and opened at a later
time to be printed out.  Save or Print Out Results Of Your Test. Records which questions were answered correctly, incorrectly or not at all.
Also includes the user's name and address and the starting and stopping times.

6)
The ability to create random tests 3 ways. You can create a random test from a single chapter, multiple chapters or the entire test bank
can be randomized. We allow you to choose which chapters you wish to include in your test as well as the number of questions you
would like asked in the test. The test can then be taken on screen or printed out, complete with answer sheets and answer sheet
correction keys. Management in the Fire Service Study Helper gives you the ability to print out tests in a variety of ways.

7)
Answer Questions On Screen In A Variety Of Ways. See the correct answer when you click on an answer option, or wait until you have
finished taking the test to see your results. Fly through tests using Turbo Answer, or just take your time and really learn the material.
You can choose between 4 answering modes.

8)
Management in the Fire Service Terminology - Easily look up terminology using our reference section. (Internet Version has a limited
number of definitions) Print out the entire glossary and hand it out to students, or create printed terminology quizzes; either by straight
definition or "Jeopardy" style.

9)
Highlight And Search Feature - The Highlight And Search Feature lets you highlight selected words or phrases within our question
database, then click on the library button on the toolbar, and Management In the Fire Service Study Helper will take you to our
"Terminology Section" where it will display the definition for the word. If the highlighted word is not found in the Terminology Section,
it will prompt you to add it to the library, if you would like. It is a fast, easy way to look up Management in the Fire Service terminology
while in the process of taking a test on-screen.

10)
Create Flashcards You Can Print Out - Management In The Fire Service Study Helper lets you print out flashcards, so you can continue
to study when you are away from your computer. Select any test, or create a custom test, then print out flashcards. Save the flashcard
file and print them later on another computer.

keep track of your last 10 test results. Simply select your name from the list box on the "Notes Palette", and click "SAVE RESULTS."
Your score will be saved for the test you just completed.

Auto-Numbering Of Questions - If you would like to add your own questions to the database, you will appreciate the auto-numbering
feature. It searches for the last number and then assigns the next number in the progression.
