Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Riddled with typos and inconsistent questions
I bought this book hoping that it would help me to prepare for the NREMT exam. However, due to the poor editing, constant typos, inconsistent fact, and poorly explained topics, I am less confident of my abilities now than I was before I started reading it.

One of the main reasons that I purchased this book was because I needed to review pediatrics. Today, I read the pediatrics chapter and learned nothing. On one page, it talks about child-specific conditions. One of them is the ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Kaplans EMT Basic Review Guide
This is a great guide! As they say in the warranty, if you pass the tests in here, you'll pass the real thing! Good Luck!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great test prep book
As a former EMT-Basic, one of the things I have wanted to do is to replace the EMT manual that I lost years ago.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - A few useful ideas for this book
After getting through the first chapter of this book I thought to myself " Wow, I wish there were a place that I could go to so I can get away from this horrible waste of paper "

As a certified NREMT-B I'll offer advice on what you can do with this book because reading it will not help you.

2) On a camping trip? No fire wood? My friend, you can use this book to solve this problem!
3) Did you just ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Computerized Test?
While reading the first few pages of this book (that you can view on this site), I noticed that it advises to skip questions. However, since 2007 the NREMT has been computer-based and you can't skip questions. How can I expect this book to be a good resource when the author hasn't realized such a large change in the format of the test?
