This book contain good information to prep for the firefighter exam but to work on visual practical exam on this book either on the PC (Window) or Nook (Android) is not good at all. Also, because of some restriction when using/buying this book, you can't make any adjustment to fix the problem. Good luck if using both this book and this program!
