Does anybody know any online practice tests? The test in the book I got seemed way too easy. Thanks.

Well I would just like to run over some test to tune myself. I ranked high in the class and did good on my final so I hope I pass!

Multiple studies have demonstrated, if you study < than a few days for a "big" exam; chances are you will do poorly. "Cramming, for a NREMT exam is not wise. Face it; either you know it or you don't...

I have been studying but I just wanted some good practice tests because the ones in the book were too basic.

you will do as well as your preperation. that porbably does not sound very assuring, but it is a true statement. just put your best foot forward. when i took it the first time, i failed. came in three weeks later and i passed. you'll do fine! good luck on your exam.

Ha! That's so funny, because my NREMT cut off really early and I thought I had missed too many and there was just no hope of passing, turns out I passed. I had been sitting in the room for literally 28 minutes when it shut off. I was in tears on my way home because I started to talk myself out of every single answer. The NREMT is a cruel test, it mind fvcks you!
Congrats on passing! Now get that EVOC/CEVO and find a job! Woohoo!

Ya I did the same thing. I was like well maybe that wasnt the right answer to this question...I know there was one that Im mad at my self for. It was that your working on some guy and he goes into cardiac arrest right in front of you, what do you do? I went through the question too fast and was like CPR duh. Than right when I clicked it I was like no, AED!

im probably going to catch a whole bunch of flak for this reply but...
put yourself in this scenario: you're having a medical emergency. do you want the person working on you to be a) a person who studied at an accredited school, studied hard and learned the material and did well on the exam or b) went to a budget rush em through emt mill and needed three tries before barely passing the exam?
if you really want to be an emt, then do it right. go back to school(a good one this time), study harder and longer and better and take your exam when you're ready.
then again, this is just my humble opinion.

Really, what does one expect from an half-arse course? Now, think you spent as much time re-doing and retesting if you had placed that time in a decent course.
Anyone that takes an accelerated course which is half arse, can assume to have the same results.
I caution those that plan to go from Paramedic to RN the same advice. Unless you have >5 years true hospital experience, it will bite you. Yes, you may pass the tests, even the board; but when you are assigned in a unit, floor.. You will see that you know very little.
Remember, even the strong educational facilities still only teach the minimum safety allowed. Get the best you can.. i..e. I have never seen anyone complain about graduating from Harvard Medical School.

Practice,practice,practice. Practice on your family, you boy or girl friend, your dog, whoever you can find. Drill them in your head, till they are second hand and you can do them in your sleep.
One thing with NREMT, they give you a skill sheet to follow. This is exactly what you will be tested on, so there is no surprises.
Oh did I mention, you need to practice!!
