3.  This slide show contains multiple timed questions. All questions can be answered using the International Fire Code, The National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code and the Denver Building Amendments.  If you put the slide show into slide show mode, the slides will transition automatically and allow you 3 minutes for each question. The answers will stay up for only 15 seconds. When you reach the end of the practice test there will be a slide that reads STOP.  You can then click on the slide and the questions will be repeated without the timer so that you can write down questions and answers and take notes.  During the timed section, do not worry about writing down the correct answer. Proceed through the timed section then review the questions and answer again without the timer.
