Summary: Highly predictive of NREMT-P Exam Results
Review: I was a little skeptical about whether these exams were any good, but I didn't know which one to pick and this one was in the library. I also thought that only 4 exams wasn't a lot of practice. In any event, I took all four exams in the week before the NREMT exam for practice and scored between 80 and 85; my actual score on the NREMT exam was 84.I scored worst on the last one (80), which was a little disconcerting. Also, I would have found it helpful if they would give the reader a way to figure out which category a question was in; I had a sense that I was a little weak in medical emergencies (70 on the NREMT exam), but it was not at all obvious just looking at a question if it was a medical, airway or trauma question (say - in which category does smoke inhalation belong?). I also scored better on OB/peds (90) on the NREMT exam than I did on the practice tests in general. These are quibbles, though. For me, results matter, and the fact that I took 5 tests (4 in this book and one "real" one on the NREMT exam) and scored within 5 points all of them is a very strong recommendation.

Summary: Mediocre Test Taking Tool
Review: The book that I purchased was the 2nd Edition (green cover). I just took the National Registry Exam and did pretty well on it. Overall, the practice exams helped me prepare on test taking skills and the type of questions to expect on the National Registry. The Medical and OBGYN/Peds sections of the book were very helpful. However, the Cardiology section was very poor. The exam book does not have any senario strips nor questions on the ACLS algorithms. Also, the book does not contain any Drug Dose Calculation questions. As for the other sections, the prep book does do good job on showing your weak areas. I would recommend this book, but only if you are strong in the Cardiology and Drug Dose Calculation. It should not be your only source for study material.

Summary: Licensing?
Review: The title just shows how much the author knows. Paramedics don't get licensed, we get certified. We work under a doctors license.
