I graduated EMT school and had to wait a month before taking the NREMT. Once I finally got to take it, I was only 82 questions in before it cut me off. Which means I either did really good or really bad. And as it turns out, I did really bad. Then I knew I had to study. I read some of the reviews for other EMT study guide on , but what sold me on this book was that some people had used it and passed at around 70 questions.So I ordered it. Then used it to study for two weeks straight before taking the exam. The second time I took it the computer shut me off at 70 questions. Less than the time it shut me off before. I was nervous. My results came in a few days ago. I PASSED!!!!This book is really amazing. It covers all thew major topics without bombarding you with needless information that the EMT textbooks have in it. The questions were almost exactly the same as the ones on the actual National Registry Exam. BUY THIS BOOK!!!
I bought this book when taking the NREMT-B test after waiting three months after the class to take it. It made for a great review material to help refresh my mind. Took my time with this and coupled along with Bradys EMT-B National Standards Self Test 3rd edition I passed my test at 70 questions. Word of advice, stay away from Kaplan's study material.
I graduated this past August 1st, and took my NREMT exam Aug.20.This is the best study guide so far out of 4. I found 3 at the library and had to order this one to get my hands on it. It has the most practice questions, a ton of them, which is really great practice. It was also the most expensive, but it's laid out the best, with exams arranged by topic rather than randomly, and the explanations are the most complete and comprehensive and are right at the end of each exam session, so you aren't flipping all the way to the back of the book for every answer, which I liked. It doesn't waste space on reviewing material you already learned in class and have in your textbook. There were really only a couple of mistakes I found. One was using the word "book" for "body" in BSI three times, but you can figure that one out. And there were minor typos, but one major one where the answer was "positive ventilation is warranted" when it should have a "not" before the "warranted". You'd have to know this as I did to figure out the explanation is just plain wrong.This book is great in that what you need is lots of practice doing multiple choice questions, and not a big review; you already took a class for that. Other study guides are a lot of review and not much test practice (McGraw-Hill and Kaplan). And one (Mcgraw-Hill) didn't even have answer explanations! Learning Express was the next best study guide with 3 practice exams of 150 questions each with good explanations and a fourth fill-in the blank practice exam of 160 questions.The NREMT exam is adaptive, so depending on how well you are doing, it will throw different topics at you or stay on one topic you aren't answering so well. The NREMT website says the CBT exam is from 70-120 questions, with a 70 question minimum. You are timed at 2 hours and 15 minutes. My test stopped me at exactly 70 questions and I passed but thought I had not, becasue it was so difficult. It threw some ridiculously hard questions at me near the end on topics we never studied in class, like Sickle Cell disease, fistulas, and gastroenteritis. A classmate got a peristalsis question. I think the CBT knew I was going to pass, so before it ends, it threw in topics that are beyond the scope of our textbook to see what we know, or just to mess with us.I have to disagree with one reviewer who says the CBT exam had a lot of questions in it exactly like this study book. I only got one or two that resembled the ones in this study guide, but most of the questions on the CBT exam waere a lot more difficult than any of these study guide book questions, but this is still the best one for practicing multiple choice tests. Good luck!
I purchased this book to help me study for the NREMT-B. I took the test within a month or so of completing my course and used the book as a supplmental aid the week before I tested to help review. For the most part the book has a good format and the information was good with nice explanations, however some questions were actually incorrect and a few explanations were not accurate or clear. Its a nice book, but make sure you reference a few different sources as you study for the NREMT-B because several of the materials used in training have spelling and grammatical errors, as well as some inconsistent information.
I passed FINALLY after I purchase this book. why i didn't use this book at the very beginning when I first took the test, i don't really know.. this was the Greatest investment for studying and prepping for the NREMT.the questions were worded great for making your mind think critically in multiple situations and in all required NREMT categories: CardiacRespiratoryOB's/Ped's/Geri'sTraumaMedicalOperationsThis book will help ANY 'study' preference and I guarantee you WILL pass the NREMT if you stick to the book in categories and pace yourself as did I. the best part was I bought this two months before I took the test again and only took 5 days off in 61 days! I also broke each category by only doing 50 questions at a time where possible and then utilizing the correct answer portion at the end of each section.BUY IT!
