Took and passed my cpat a month ago, have to retake the written to get higher scores, should I sign up for volunteer FF? Does this increase my chances of getting hired? I work a full time job, my plan is to get hired at any department but i don’t know how long i’ll have to wait, should I start volunteering in the meantime? Some people also recommend getting EMT cert but it’s not necessary because you get certified at the academy

After 2 tries i passed my CPAT, took the written with both NTN and PST, I scored low/middle (tanked human relations surprisingly) with NTN, not enough to get a call that’s for sure. Yesterday got my score with PST and it was 62% (not enough) I don’t know what to do, i studied so much and bought their test prep packages. I still applied to multiple agencies. I don’t plan on giving up but I don’t want to go through the cpat again i just want to start the academy. I keep hearing it’s really competitive and you need 90%++ to be competitive, i don’t think im at that level at all.
