Summary: Good Assistance with National Registry Test
Review: As a teaching professional I know that the more questions that a student sees the better. Although the vast majority of the questions in this book were different to the type of question found on the National Exam, it was very helpful. I would certainly recommend this book as an aid to your classroom instruction, theoretical workbook and your ambulance practical time. In my opinion, there is only one way to ensure a successful result and that is to read, learn and inwardly digest the information found in your course study guide...there is no shortcut! In conclusion, this book did help me to find the areas of the syllabus I was weak in and approximately 45% of the questions were actually in my national exam in one form or another.

Summary: Pretty close to the real thing
Review: I found that the practice test questions in this book were pretty similiar to the questions I had on the National Registry. A couple were even identical. I only missed two more questions on the NR than in the two practice exams I took. However, the NR has I forgot how many hundreds of questions to choose from when putting together the test, so it is possible that your test will only have a few questions that are similiar to the ones in this this book. While it's a good study aid and lets you know what to expect come test day, don't rely on it for all of your studying.

Summary: Book vs. EMT-1 test
Review: I found the book didn't do a great job in preparing me for the National Test.
The tests in the book were a lot easier than the National Test.
I would not really recommend this guide to someone trying to prepare for the National Test.

Summary: Excellent Review
Review: I just took a state written exam in May/'02 and this book helped a TON. Believe it or not, many of the questions in the review were EXACTLY the same as those on the test. This is a good investment if you are looking to review for the EMT exam

Summary: EMT-Basic Exam
Review: I thought this was a great book for people who need help before their big exam. It provides you with practice tests and scheduals on what you should do before the test. It is a good resource to have when you are studying for the exam.

Summary: Great Study Tool
Review: Providing you use the book as intended, this is definitely a worthwhile investment for those taking the EMT-B exam. After taking the course, you are probably left with only your textbook to study and while there are review questions for each chapter, it won't compare to the 600 questions in this text.The "Learning Express Test Preperation System" chapter (#2)is kind of hokey, but nothing helps you prepare for a major exam like taking 4 major practice exams.

Summary: Don't get your hopes up
Review: When I compare the test questions that were in this book with the ones that were on my actual exam, I honestly cannot rate this book more than 1 star. The questions in the book were very easy with one clear and concise answer. If you expect the actual certification exam to be like this, you're in for a rude awakening. The questions on the actual test were tricky to say the least with many questions having more than one correct answer (some had as many as 3 correct answers). One must choose what they feel is the BEST answer which we know isn't going to be the same answer for everybody. No such questions in this book. I took the 4 sample tests in this book and only missed 7 questions on all 4 tests combined yet I spent the week waiting for the results of my certification test not having an earthly clue if I had even passed the stupid thing! IMHO, there's nothing that can truly prepare you for these ignorant tests except to try to stay calm and read the questions thoroughly and don't dwell on one single question-move on and go back and catch it later. I feel that is the best advice one can follow because if you study this book and feel confident after taking the book tests, when the actual test is put in front of you, you'll know what I mean!

Summary: Okay for reviewing, but tests are not like the NREMT test.
Review: You may find like I did that you did very well on the book tests (a couple of them I only missed 1 out of 150). Don't expect to ace the real thing. I passed on my first try, but I certainly did not ace it. Anyone who has experienced EMT State tests knows that the questions are much more complex than these practice tests. You find questions that will not have the answer you were taught in your class rather the next best answer. I even had a paramedic tell me that the EMT test is worse than the paramedic test because it's your first experience at these types of tests.
