This book is great if you are brushing up or going alongside the book in class. I finished my paramedic test a couple years ago and bought this while I was in class. I followed this book with my class book and must say it was very helpful. It basically takes each chapter and breaks it down without having to read the whole chapter. BUT understand this, reading the whole chapter is very useful too, so I cannot stress this enough, read everything in your book and this. This book comes into huge play once you finish the course and want to brush up on what you might have misses, forgotten, or what to get better at. I read this book twice before I took my test after I finished the course and passed with ease. It is a very great reference book, but again is not your ONLY solution to passing. Buy this book and follow along with your class text book and you will be so happy at how much easier learning can be. Nancy Caroline's Emergency Care in the Streets, Vol. 1 this is the author of our paramedic book when I went to school, not the same book though.
