5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent NREMT exam prep, September 15, 2007

By 

Florida EMT "Jim" (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: EMT-Basic Review Manual for National Certification (Paperback)

This is an excellent review for the NREMT exam for EMT-B certification. It is well organized, helps you pinpoint areas where you need to study more, and is written very much like the actual test.

The questions in these practice tests are much more difficult than those found in online practice tests, which tend to be over-simplified. Just as important, this book is from an authoritative source; I found some answers in the online sources which were just plain wrong.

The NREMT exam is as much about test-taking ability as it is about subject matter knowledge, and that's where this book really helps. In particular, there are many questions on the actual exam where the choices contain information which looks very simple at first glance, but which in fact contains very subtle differences. The questions in this book give you those types of choices, and train you to read each question carefully looking for those nuances which are the difference between a right answer and a wrong answer.

Your first time through the questions in this book may be a wake-up call if you don't really know your stuff. But it's better to get a wake-up call before the test, rather than during the test. I passed on the first try. Good luck!

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this book!!!, February 22, 2009

This review is from: EMT-Basic Review Manual for National Certification (Paperback)

All that needs to be said is that this is the only EMT-Basic review book you will ever need. All others books are just a waste of time and money. The reason is because the questions in this book closely resemble what you will see on the national exam. If you want to pass the national test buy this book and read your EMT-Basic text book from front to back and you will almost certainly pass.

This review is from: EMT-Basic Review Manual for National Certification (Paperback)

This book would have been great six years ago. It is way too simple to properly prepare you for the test now, and it doesn't contain a lot of the information that you will be seeing on the test they are currently giving. Get something more up to date that includes reviews on weapons of mass destruction and other hazardous materials. This what what I used to study when I challenged the test to get my card back, and I was very unpleasantly surprised to find out that this book was pretty much useless when I failed my test.
