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

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

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 Great Review Manual, May 8, 2006

By	Les Gean Burns (Waxhaw, North Carolina) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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

This book outlines the areas of EMT testing at both State and National Level. It's a sure way to review all the areas that will be covered on the exams. I highly recommend it for anyone just out of school or preparing for certification.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best, January 25, 2008

By	S. Hohbein - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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

This is the closest to the NR that I've seen (I haven't seen them all) but despite its small size it had the best content.
