This review is from: Barron's Paramedic Exam: with CD-ROM (Barron's EMT Paramedic Exam) (Paperback)

I wanted a good book to review for the national registry paramedic exam. I bought 5 different books but this one was the best. I passed the test the first time.

This review is from: Barron's Paramedic Exam: with CD-ROM (Barron's EMT Paramedic Exam) (Paperback)

This text was an excellent review of what I see working as a paramedic in an urban setting in New Jersey. I utilized it for review of the NREMT-P which I had let lapse several years ago (bad idea on my part). What I noticed, however, was the actual questions on the test were different compared to the type of questions presented in this book. I went through every chapter in this book and completed both CD tests as well and scored in the mid 90% each time. The NREMT exam asked questions relating to very specific OB-GYN, MCI, Trauma and medication classifications that I didn't see in this text. My advice to the Medic/Medic student is utilize this book and regarding the areas of care that are not commonly seen in your service region and expand on those with other quality resources. I passed first time at 80 questions so I am not complaining. Excellent text...utilize to identify weak areas and then expand on each area beyond this text. Good luck!

This review is from: Barron's Paramedic Exam: with CD-ROM (Barron's EMT Paramedic Exam) (Paperback)

I used this book about 1 week before my NREMT-P test. The book is divided into sections as is registry. I passed the first time. No book can simulate national registry due to the the computer test adjusting to your answers, but this book helped me prepare. I would encourage this purchase
