I suggest what they say about studying your practical sheets. You get that order down and you will pass all your test without a problem. Also the more you do it the more it makes since and the easier it is. I just got done with my class and also what helped me was to write the order down on a...

Just remeber the order of your assesments and that will help you determine the almost right and the right answer

Just another thought to about you stopping at the scene. I just to recieved my certificate, anyways in class they made it very clear to us that once we stop we cannot leave that person tell someone with the same rank or above steps in. Remeber if no one is around to call for extra help do that...

I had the some question for my last question and also felt like you. I wish they would give us the correct answers. I did put the 2 thumbs and hand encircling as I assumed with a child you want to get on the move so therefor you can do CPR while taking to the bus. Same with the BVM...
