4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource, November 8, 2004

By

This review is from: How to Prepare for the EMT Paramedic Exam (Paperback)

Barron's EMT-P workbook is an excellent resource for future medics. The full-length practice tests are wonderful.

One down side to the book is that the questions from the front of the book are repeated in the full-length tests, i.e. some of the questions that are in the categorized sections (such as "Trauma") are found later in the back of the book with the complete practice tests.

A positive is that some of the answers are fully explained...some, NOT all. The good ones include the rational behind why the other choices are incorrect.

The questions in the book are very similar to National Registry type questions. (All of the writers are from Ohio, which is where Nat'l Reg is located.)

If you are studying for Nat'l Reg, I would recommend purchasing this workbook and a second book with practice test questions. I know that most medic students are poor, but it is really worth your money in the long run. Try to get a book that correlates with your text--then you can more easily look up the sections that you need more help in.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good in combo with..., April 28, 2005

This review is from: How to Prepare for the EMT Paramedic Exam (Paperback)

the Cherry book (if you have the Brady textbook). I bought both and between the 2 passed on the first go around. I would have given this 4 stars but there are a few questions, maybe 2 or 3 that are wrong or conflicting. When you get to them you will know. All in all, the questions in here were more like the ones on the test than the Cherry book, but I only took the test once and I know there are different versions of the Mational Registry test. I would suggest getting both early and start studying well before the test due to the enormity of the subject matter.

This book has helped me remember alot of things that are forgotten because we do not always do everything by the book in our line of work it is hard to do. So it has given me some new ideas to try in the field and has helped me prepare greatly for the National Registry Exam.
