There are a lot of "National Paramedic Review" books out there. This book does a really great job in writing questions similar to the NREMT Paramedic written test. Where this book is really stands out from the rest is in the Practical review section. This by far is the best book I have come across that really prepares you for the practical portion of the NREMT Paramedic testing. This book really goes into great prepatory detail for each station and highlights the common mistakes made by candidates and how to avoid making the same mistakes. Money well spent on this book!!!!! Passed the written and pratical test on the first try!!!

As you probably already know (if you are a medic student) the key to passing a test is learning good test taking skills as it is knowing the material. This book helps you with that. I use this book to help my students get ready for their NREMT-P exams. Here is the key:

Take exam 1 and score it. Then, go back and re-study the parts that you did poorly on. Then, go back and take test 2. Keep doing this until you a)run out of exams, or b) score over a 90% on the practice exam. My students do well with this, and 100% of my students who finished my last 3 paramedic courses have passed the NR exam.

This book is an excellent tool, but don't kid yourself: If you don't know the material, you won't do well. This book is a tool to help you, not teach you to be a medic.

This is, hands down, the best and highest reccommended preparatory book for the NREMT-P Exam. It was reccommended by everyone of my lab instructors and Paramedics I knew from the field. I studied it cover to cover with another student from school. The questions are written very similarily to the NR test. Each question has justification for the answers. There is also a section all about each phase of the manipulative portion of the test.

I recommend buying this guide with these case study books to prepare for the Scenario based portion of the test. Medical Case Studies for the Paramedic Trauma Case Studies for the Paramedic

Being able to answer rapid fire scenario based questions from one of your classmates and these study guides provided me with the knowledge and confidence to pass on my first try.

THIS MANUAL ADEQUATELY PREPARES YOU TO TAKE AND PASS THE NATIONAL PARAMEDIC WRITTEN EXAMINATION>

Great book for reviewing before a exam awesome practice questions only down fall don't use when studying for Canadian exams

I found the questions to not be well written and confusing. I also found that many of the answers do not match my protocol and use many out dated drugs that have not been used by my department in years.

This book presents a manageable amount of information for NREMT-P CBT prep. The other book I got had 400 pages of questions, most of which aren't really pertinent to exam material.

This book also features EXPLANATIONS of the correct answers. That is, why said answer is correct, and why the other answers are wrong. You don't need the AAOS textbook to look up the subject matter so you understand why a certain answer is the right one. This allows you to use the info to actually learn and apply concepts and protocols that will help with test questions not contained in this book.

In my opinion you are better off using a small amount of accurate, pertinent information to "cram" for the exam than try to consume a huge volume of info like many other books present.

Also, the info in this book seems to be a lot more up to date with current treatment protocols, unlike the other book I got.

I test in 6 days. I'll update this review to tell you how it turned out.

...UPDATE - Passed my test in 80 questions flat. Took about 45min. JBLearning has the exact same questions and more. If you are going to buy a review program, go to their website and buy a $40 membership. This book is great, but the website is even better.

This book has many 1 sentence questions with 1 word answers. These types of questions do not represent National Registry.
