I took my emt course a year and a half ago, and for various reasons didn't get a chance to take the written exam. When I took the written exam for the first time a few months back, I failed it- I didn't have time to fully prepare for it even though I did lots of practice tests.I bought this book a week before my second attempt and I have to say it was the main reason why I passed the second time. It served as an excellent study guide, helping me review the most important and essential information. I am so glad I found this book!
So here's what my situation was- I (stupidly) waiting about 6 months after I had finished taking the EMT class before I tried to take the test for the first time, and I barely studied at all. I figured I could just reason my way through the questions and get a passing score. Boy was I wrong. My test shut off after 70 questions, which means you either did REALLY good or REALLY bad. Turns out it was really bad. I failed every section except for one. So then due to a busy schedule, I wasn't able to attempt the test again until 5 months after that. That's when I decided to give this book a try. About a week before my test I started reading through it, breaking it up into small sections for each day. I didn't make note cards or use the note card app, but I did read it very carefully to be sure I was absorbing the material. Then the night before my test I took the provided online practice test. This test felt very easy (I think I got like 86% correct) so I was feeling pretty confident. The next morning I take my test and I felt like I was absolutely bombing it. There were questions coming out of left field that were never mentioned in the class or this book. And then, once again, it shut off at 70 questions. As you can imagine I wasn't feeling particularly confident at that time, but the next day I checked the website to see that coveted "Congratulations" message. I passed! Not only did I pass, I killed it. My point- Buy this book. It has everything that you need to pass the test no matter your starting point. My advice for the test- Make sure you know the patient assessment procedure like the back of your hand, know your ABC's (or CAB if the patient is unresponsive), know the normal vital signs, know the 6 or so medications detailed in the book, and know the most important medical conditions (shock, stroke, burns, anaphylaxis, etc) and you will be good to go. No matter how well you know your stuff, you're going to walk out feeling like you failed. The test is designed to make you feel this way. So don't stress out. Read this book, read it again, and go pass that test
I purchased this book toward the end of my EMT class to help me prepare for the NREMT exam. This isn't for you if you need handholding to understand EMS logic and prehospital care in general, but if you just need to review facts and formulas this book is great. Definitely made my study time more effective. There were several questions on the test I was able to answer correctly only because of this book. I'll be keeping it on hand for continuous review and refreshment, too. Highly recommended.
I just finished EMT class using Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured and completed all of the JBLearning online exercises and practice tests that go along with the main textbook. EMT Crash Course was still helpful in practices for my NREMT exam for three reasons:- The class textbook is extremely repetitive, and it is hard to skim through the repetitive chapters to pick out the bits of new information in each. This book provides just the important information on each topic without repetition.- The JBLearning practice-test questions start to sound familiar after taking them a few times, and the NREMT exam is different. The access code (which was included at the end of my Kindle book despite what other reviewers have said) provides a different take on a practice test.- I don't have a very good memory for endless facts and details, especially the class textbook's 1600 pages of them. This book provides a way to study just the necessary details before the NREMT exam.I passed the NREMT exam a couple of days ago on my first attempt. While I credit my instructors more than either of the textbooks, I spent the last week before the exam reading this book to brush up on the essentials. It brought back information that I had already forgotten, and I am certain that reading it helped me pass.
This book is a great study tool for the NREMT certification test. It highlights the main parts of EMT textbook/class in bullet point format which is great because it isnt overly wordy like the EMT textbook, and still explains things clearly, and provides not only the treatment methods but how/why the treatment works. It also helps integrate between notes taken in class and the EMT textbook because it has some of the acronyms to help remember things and tips from the firefighter/paramedics, that helped teach the EMT course that were learned in class and were not in the EMT textbook. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has passed EMT class and is looking for an easier study solution than carrying around the 1500 page EMT textbook and trying to decihper the confusing text. This book also offers tips on how the NREMT certification test will work, as well as studying and test-taking strategies.
If you're looking for a great overview to help you prepare for the NREMT, this book is an excellent option. It does a great job of breaking down information as an aid to assist you to think critically, which is an absolute necessity when it comes to passing the exam. There are some occasional editing errors but nothing enough to be detrimental to its overall quality. If you're a serious student and intent on further developing as an EMT this book is for you!
This book covers all of the core concepts and I would definitely recommend it for someone wanting to refresh their knowledge as a provider for their own sake. However, the NREMT exam asks questions that are more specific than anything this covers, and if you are relying on this to refresh and prepare for the exam, you're going to get a lot of questions that are not covered by this general summary.
