 - BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!This material in this book is out of date. It does not meet the new National Standard Guidelines, nor does it meet the new AHA. I contacted the publisher of this, and never received a reply from them. Rating:  - Still a Valuable BookThis book still contains valuable information. It is true the ACLS is outdated but the rest of the book is excellent. The questions make you think. It also does a good job of making you choose basic interventions FIRST instead of going right to the advanced stuff. This was a pitfall of many medic students in my class. I found this book helpful when taking my registry exam. At $110 bucks for registry exam it is important to be successful on the first attempt! I was. Thanks Rating:  - Great Review BookI purchased this review book the Saturday morning before I had to take the written exam on Monday at 5:00. I hadn't reviewed anything from class in almost 4 months and while I graduated with a 95 average, I almost failed the first exam I took from this book. I spent the rest of Saturday and most of the day Sunday doing every one of the questions in this entire book. I reviewed a bit on Monday and I ended up getting a 96 on the Florida written exam the first time I took it. There were so many questions from this book that were actually on the test it was shocking. I chose to rate this with 4 stars instead of 5 simply because the new ACLS protocols and CPR ratios are out of date, which is purely because of when the book was published. I highly recommend this to the person who put off studying for the exam and has a minimal amount of time to review. Good luck and happy studying! Rating: - I passedI purchased a total of 3 books to assist me in preparing for the Illinois Paramedic Exam. The other two books were only ok. This book was the one I used extensively. The wording of the questions in the practice exams were "thought Provoking". It helped direct me to the areas where I needed to review and/or increase my knowledge. The only problem I saw with the book was that several questions were out of date. For example the CPR questions were based on old AHA guidelines. And a few questions referenced drugs that are no longer utilized in EMS for my area. Overall it was a great study guide and I would recommend it to future Paramedic Students. Rating: - how to prepare for the EMT paramedic examthe questions in this book are extremely helpful in studing. They are very close to the actual exam In association with Amazon.com | |
