1. NICET Fire Alarm Tech Level 1 Practice Test # 3
© Ted Smith 2017

2. Instructions
Be sure to place this presentation in Slide Show Mode if it is not already in that mode before proceeding
The purpose of this drill is to help you improve your skill at finding answers to questions using the applicable fire codes and also to help increase your knowledge of the Fire Alarm codes.
Each slide will contain a question. The question will remain in the screen for a period of 2 minutes. At the end of the two minutes, a notification will sound and the slide will transition to the next slide which will have the correct answer to the question. After 15 seconds the next question will appear and the process will continue.
During the test do not worry about the correct answers when those slide appear. You will be given an opportunity to review the answers with out the time at the end of the test.
Click on the slide to start the timer and begin the test
