Thanks George I'll try doing that. No one has ever explained it to me that way before. Taken the class 10 yrs ago and never passed hopefully all these key elements will help me pass the next time.
What really kills you is not carefully reading the questions. It's very easy to overlook words like "not" and "never" or other negatives that change the meaning of the question. Often you will see a question with an answer that is correct without ...
Thanks Manuel for the support. People have suggested a couple off sites for me to use and seem to be helping me. Just want to make sure I pass the next time just have to do my best.
Hello, I took the this new test in January, three weeks after the class ended. I had an A+ in the class, did not feel like it when I opened the test. I stared at the first question for 4 min. freakin out. I then remembered what my instructor (who ...
Thanks Scott I'll use that one with the one I'm using.
Thanks Ralph. This is the 2nd time taking it. Took the class about 10 yrs ago but could never pass it. The turn around time on getting your score back is much quicker. Just wish you could get a grade score to see how you do, I just want to see how...
Alan,
Remember the VERY basics of the class......A.....B.....C.....
Think of what will kill the pt first in any question. Answer for that. Like, 43 yr old male left arm cut off by a chainsaw, what do you do first? A. place tournicate B. Apply pr...
Taking the National Test and did not pass. Found a web site that has simalar questions that I have been studing. So hopfully in a month or so I'll go take the test again and have beter results.
Finally finished up my ride time and called to make an appointment for my national emt test and have a 1:30 time tommorrow to take. A little nervious about it. Going to do some last minute studying and hope to do well.
Alan,
Good Luck!
You`ll get out of it what you put into it. Don`t blame an instructor......afterall, it IS up to you to study and know the material.
You only have to have 5 pt assessments? Dang, when I took my first EMT-B in Ohio in 1983, the c...
Hey Alan,
www.emtb.com is a great resource to employ to help you study. There is also a youtube video out there to help you prepare for a trauma testing station. It shows a pretty good dcapbtls trauma assessment. Here is the link: http://www.yout...
I wish you luck. As I am beginning my EMT-B class as of 0800 tomorrow morning. Already have all my firefighting certs. Just hope EMT is as easy.
Is there anything out there that is the same as the national test that I can study for before I take the test.
If I may;
1. Don't fall into the scenario questions. Don't read into them. They are what they are as you read them.
2. Read the question and all of the answer options in their entirety. Generally, in an abcd type question, you can rule out 2 opt...
Finally have finished my EMT-B class in 10 weeks that normally takes 5 months. All I have left to do is my ride time ( Evaulate 5 patients) and take the National Registry test. Hope I can do better this time than last time I did it 10 years ago, c...
