먼저, 기출에 나온 어휘와 관용 어구는 반드시 정리하여 암기해야 한다. 더불어 여유가 된다면, 타 직렬의 기출 어휘도 정리하시길 권한다. 어휘는 기본적으로 모든 공무원 시험에서 기출에 나온 어휘들이 반드시 또 출제된다.

문법 문제는 정답이 아닌 오답까지도 모든 보기의 출제 포인트를 파악해 둬야 한다. 문법 문제의 경우는 직렬과 관계없이 큰 흐름은 대동소이하다. 소방 시험에서는 조잡하고 자질구레한 문법 보다는 소위 8대 문법, 10대 문법 등으로 일컬어지는 중요 문법만을 묻기 때문에 기출문제를 통해 출제자의 의도를 파악하는 것이 아주 중요하다.

독해와 생활영어는 다다익선이다. 생활영어의 대화 표현들과 독해 지문은 많이 읽어보고 유형대로 정리하는 방법이 최선이다. 섣불리 이디엄 위주로만 접근하기 보다는 기본적인 대화표현 들을 정리하고, 이디엄의 경우 그 유래를 같이 공부하는 것이 큰 도움이 된다. 독해 지문도 정답만 파악하는 훑어보기식 학습보다는 정독을 통해 세부 내용과 문장 구조까지 꼼꼼히 정리하길 권장한다.
