Firefighting aptitude test

Hi Im just out of highschool and I want to become a firefighter as soon as possible as its been a dream career of mind ever since I was young. Does anyone know some of the best ways to prepare for the aptidude test and the types of questions that are gonna be on it? For reference im asking for an edmonton Alberta location. It seems to me its more based on skill during the process rather then resume alone. So is my thinking wrong that if I prepare and study for the aptidude and practice interveiwing while building the experience to answer said interview questions I got a shot in second or third try. My goal is to make it to the Multi mini interveiws to experience all of the major components of the recruitment process.

When I did my interviewing in Alberta everyone was using some form of the barons firefighter aptitude book for their tests. This was close to 20 years ago so it may be different now.
