Click here to Go to Shopping Cart for all products Our NICET Fire Alarm Test-Prep Software, Now In Its 9th Year: Three software programs are now available to assist you in studying for your NICET Certification tests for Fire Alarm Systems, or simply to improve your general knowledge. (Many people over the years have also used our software to help them pass their state license exam!) Sometime in 2010, NICET will begin their changeover to computer-based testing. NICET's new PC exam is currently being Beta tested by volunteers at the end of 2009. This means that sometime in 2010, NICET will be changing from their traditional pencil and paper test format, presently given at local colleges and universities, to local private testing centers. While our software programs were originally designed to follow the Work Element test scheme, the new computerized tests will no longer be broken down into specific Work Elements. However, those taking the new PC based exam will still be tested on the same knowledge, except it will be a single test with Work Element subject matter mixed throughout. It will be a Pass/Fail test. Doing poorly in several specific subject areas will cause you to fail the test, and the entire test will have to be re-taken. In other words, you will no longer be answering questions grouped into subject specific areas such as Safety or Smoke Detection. This should mean that our practice test software should become more valuable to test takers since it is designed to indicate weak subject areas in your personal fire alarm knowledge. Our practice software reflects the code editions NICET is presently testing on, and will be completely updated when NICET informs us they have updated their exam.
These programs have five questions for each Work Element, that closely represent the type of questions you may encounter on a NICET exam. (NOTE: While there is no doubt that a few of the questions may be the same, and many more will be similar to the actual test, it is coincidental). NICET rotates three sets of exam questions for each Work Element to help prevent questions from becoming well known. Also, NICET doesn't have all their exam question of the same difficulty level; some are easier than others. For example, if they have five questions in a particular WE exam, three or four of the five seem easier. We, on the other hand, have provided all five of our test question to be a little harder than average, but when NICET cannot come up with harder test questions, they seem to just ask more of them and a WE with 7 or so questions will usually all be easier questions. A mastery of our test questions along with the knowledge of that answer's location in the code books should ensure your successful certification.

User License: Both the Level I-II and Level III programs are designed to be installed on a single PC.
System requirement/Compatibility: This software has been tested on Windows XP, ME, 2000, 98 and 95. However, approximately 3% of the owners of the win95 and win98 operating systems have been required to download the latest (and free) upgrade for their web browser (either Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator). Some have had to update their Windows operating system by clicking on "Windows Update" in their "Settings" folder. ("start", "settings", Windows update"). This installs the latest security patches and other updates so their PC can use the latest software programs. If you are using Windows 95 or 98, you should know that not even Microsoft supports these older operating systems anymore. (Update: We have not had an installation problem since Feb. 2005. I think most people have updated their operating system or now use Windows XP.) Vista A VISTA update is in the works. (I hope we get it finished before Vista destroys Microsoft.) In the mean time, Microsoft's suggests you "Run the program as an administrator." This "administrator" setting seems to be working so far, for everyone using Vista. PC without Internet Access: A CD-ROM may be ordered direct, (call us) for an additional $4.50 or you can make your own CD-ROM by downloading one or both of the setup.exe files, using any PC with an internet connection, with the above links. Using this alternate PC, download and save the setup.exe file(s) of the test-prep program to a recordable CD-ROM - but do not try to run it from a CD-ROM (it won't work). Then insert this CD into your PC lacking Internet access. Then, using your Windows Explorer, read your CD-ROM drive and simple double-click on the setup.exe file(s) to install. After you have installed the software, it will only run in DEMO mode until you will use the "Unlock by Phone" option on the opening screen. You may either purchase the software at that time or purchase it online by clicking on the "click here to purchase" links shown above. Have the software open/running in DEMO mode in front of you, your credit card ready, and call 888-910-2272, M-F, 9:00am-5:00pm EST. PLEASE NOTE: I travel North America teaching fire alarm classes. Do not wait until the last minute to call for a "phone un-lock" - I might not be available to do this! Leave a message on the machine, and be patient. I will call you back ASAP. Even on weekends. Additional step-by-step instructions for installation on PC's without Internet access, including some simple troubleshooting tips, click here.
You may keep your software updated by checking the version numbers periodically. If a new version is out, you may update for free.
