FRV Written Selection Test: the literacy component

FRV's Written Selection Test assesses literacy alongside numeracy, abstract reasoning and mechanical reasoning. FRV describes the literacy element as Literacy (Reading), so each of our papers is 20 reading questions in fire-service and everyday contexts, plus 10 language-conventions questions (grammar, punctuation, spelling, word choice) as extra practice rather than a section of the test. Four full practice papers are live: Paper 1 free with a free account, Papers 2 to 4 with Pro.

What our FRV literacy papers cover

  • Four 30-question papers in the WST's style: reading comprehension of workplace and everyday documents plus language conventions, in multiple-choice, statement-judgement and typed formats.
  • Fire-service contexts throughout the workplace questions: station notices, procedures, rosters, incident summaries and community fire-safety material.
  • Every question mapped to the Australian Core Skills Framework at Levels 2 to 4, with a worked explanation and Sage AI coaching.
  • Because FRV selection is competitive rather than pass/fail, a stronger literacy score strengthens your overall ranking, the same logic as the numeracy component.
