4.0 out of 5 stars Good stuff, July 6, 2006

This review is from: Paramedic Exam (Paperback)

Just took the written and some of the questions were almost copied I swear. It is very similar but doesn't prompt you to think like a Basic. The test requires you to utilize that aspect where as this guide is looking for that extra level of training we all endured. Good practice over-all. Pick up the Barrons one as well and you should be set. Skip the Brady review maual, useless junk.

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Paramedic Exam (Paperback)

This book contains some general advice on test preparation, as well as some insight into how the NREMT exam is administered. It also contains four 180 question practice exams which is supposedly "based on the latest National Registry Exam". I bought the book for the practice exams.

I took two of the exams. The questions that ARE included are pretty well written and the explanations in the answer key are also fairly good. The only complaint I have with what IS included is that there are quite a lot of spelling errors (especially in the second exam/key), and one of the answers is misprinted (on the second exam). Not too bad thus far.

My main complaint is what is NOT included. Not a single ECG strip appears in the entire book! Scenarios are mostly straightforward, yet the NREMT exam I took today had a few scenarios that were a lot trickier. At least in the first two exams, there was not one question about drip rates or dosage calculations. For the most part, pharmacology questions seem to be lacking.

While the book isn't completely worthless, I can only assume the high ratings have been made by those who used this as their only study source. It is far from complete, and I would not recommend it unless you're just collecting a bank of practice questions and need an additional source.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Test Simulation available, January 9, 2007

By 

gimmecoffee (IN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Paramedic Exam (Paperback)

There are many paramedic prep books out there, and this one is by far the best for real test type questions and format. Having just taken the National Registry Exam, I can say that this book most accurately mirrors the actual test. The explanations are thorough and accurate (with only a couple exceptions). This text is also one of the only on the market with the new ACLS protocols and drugs, i.e. Amiodarone. Be warned: this book is for the student ready to test and looking to identify weak spots or pre-think some of the trick questions. This is not a book for those looking to shore up a weak area. If that is what you need, then start with the "EMT-P Self Assessment" by Cherry because it is topic specific. But be sure to use this one before the test.
