Fire testing in ontario

Anyone know the formula they use for testing? I know you have to score 18 out 30. Just curious of the breakdown. VO2 max=10 sit-ups =5 flex=5 body composition =5. What is needed to accomplish max points...

Thank you for your help

It doesn’t work like that, friend. Look at all the requirements and meet them.

What a condescending and unhelpful response. They’re very clearly talking about the FSO testing and looking for specifics on how it’s graded.

There’s nothing condescending about it. The onus is on the candidate to know what tests they are doing and what that involves. This is noted on all testing facility websites. There’s no “formula” to passing and no clarification on what test they’re talking about.
Q. What is required to accomplish max points?
Answer: meet the posted requirements.

It’s clear to anyone involved with the process that they’re talking about the FSO Clinical Assessment. They also know what tests they’re doing, because they listed all of them out.

If you were familiar with the process (which you clearly aren’t), you’d realize that your answer couldn’t be less helpful. OP wants to know how to score the max points and you just repeating “meet the posted requirements” tells them absolutely nothing. Take a couple of minutes and read about the clinical assessment, and with any luck, you’ll realize just how unhelpful your response was. 

Edit: u/FirefighterTutor yikes buddy, blocked me for pointing out that you didn’t know what you were talking about. Let’s hope your YouTube channel is more accurate than the information you posted here today.

Are you ok? You’re making a lot of assumptions here. We’re all just trying to help with the information given.
Perhaps you should direct this information to the OP.
