EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) Crash Course with Online Practice Test, 2nd Edition: Get a Passing Score in Less Time (EMT Test Preparation)

the book clutched for my nremt I was so scared and decided to buy it after a friend recommended it to me. I read 100/300 of the pages each day and did all the quizzes and skimmed through it right before my exam at like 8am. It stopped me at 70 questions and truthfully I thought I flunked but got the email later that day saying I passed! it was my first time taking it and the questions were interesting but the book helps you remember the basic things that can help you decipher the questions on the test. but do keep in mind that we all did not take the same emt class so results may vary but its very straight forward. but if you have the time to read through it thoroughly read through it thoroughly cause it is a great book. Your journey is almost over future emt keep your head up!!! dont be a last minute person like me but if you are this book and a couple online practice exams got you good.

First and foremost, I want to begin by saying that I absolutely have zero medical background; I'm actually in the hospitality industry and decided to get into EMS as it's always been a long-time dream for me, a stepping stone to get into the medical field. About a month and a half ago, I took an accelerated EMT course, and it was by far the toughest class I've ever taken. The course was so fast-paced, with all the information crammed into such a little time. Needless to say, only 9 out of 16 of us passed the class. One of our instructors recommended this book, so I picked it up to study for the NREMT. This book simplified everything for me, providing a better understanding without the need to read the 1000+ pages of the AAOS textbook. This book, combined with PocketEMT, helped me tremendously. The NREMT is tricky, but if you take the time to understand each chapter in this book, rather than just memorizing it, you will pass the NREMT. If you did well on your patient assessments, skills, and practicals, you'll do well on the exam. I'm not the best at studying and taking exams, but this book helped me a lot, and I passed the NREMT on the first try! I highly recommend this book; you will not regret it!

I Passed my NREMT on the first try ending at 70 questions. I will not fluff this review or add anything that is misleading. I am sure anyone that is reading this, is super stressed out about the NREMT and has scoured all of the internet for good for tips and tricks to pass the exam. The reality is, you need to know a little bit of everything from each topic. With that being said, this pocket prep book covers all the topics with the amount of detail that you need to know to pass the NREMT. The pre hospital book that I was given at the start of my EMT class contained over 1400 pages of straight nonsense. I first thought to myself, "Am I trying to become a doctor, or an EMT." This is why throughout my EMT class, I opened up this book and followed along my instructors power points rather than try to follow along in my 1400 page book. As you can see with the picture attached, I added some information that the book did not have. You might find yourself adding stuff throughout the EMT course, and that is fine. I read this book twice. Once during my EMT course, and the second time four days before my NREMT. This book also contains a code that can be used to access the REA NREMT practice exam, which is super awesome. If you know this book inside and out (~400 pgs.) you will pass the NREMT, I am living proof. I very seldom opened my 1400 page textbook throughout my EMT course. Other than this book, I recommend the EMT Pocket Prep App, through your phones app store. It is something like 14.99 a month, but is totally worth it. Take all 800 questions and read all the explanations on why it is, or isn't the answer you chose. From that app, I even added information to this crash course book to the correlating sections, and it helped me out significantly. Last but not least, If you memorize your skill sheets verbatim, you will have no problem answering the "What is the next step" questions on the NREMT. Good Luck use this book!

I really like this book, it's very comprehensive for how short the chapters are. I like the little quizzes at the end of each chapter as well. It also comes with an online code for practice tests, but I haven't used it yet since I'm still reading the Book. This is a great refresher book or good for a starter too before you read the big orange book lol! So far, so good 5 stars.

This was an awesome review! I skipped out on some of my readings from my extremely dense textbook over the semester and was worried I would have to open that terrible book again after passing the class, but this was informative and succinct enough that I passed my exam with a minimum of 70 questions. Definitely make flashcards from this and memorize as much as you can because the information is already pretty consolidated to begin with. The only con of this book is that I had to buy another book of practice questions because the ones in these book are pretty basic (just meant to consolidate knowledge after each chapter) and not really representative of the questions on the actual exam.

Highly suggest this book for anyone going through EMT trying for their national registry. I didn’t pass the first two times then got this book and was able to pass. Good price and even better value.

This book is definitely the reason I passed. I took the class a year ago and made the mistake of waiting 2 months to take the NREMT and failed. Then rushed to take it again in a month and failed again. I couldn’t figure out what the problem was. I didn’t want to reread a 1400 page book. I was using apps that had practice questions. Paying $15 a month along with other things but it just wasn’t working. Until I found this 400 page book. This book covers everything you need to know. It’s been a YEAR since taking the class and I passed just today, on my 3rd try. You can’t beat this book, trust me. Like others have said. Don’t just rely on this book though. Make sure you know at least a little of everything. This book is a great refresher. I tried relying on JUST the practice question apps. But after reading this, I walked into and out of the exam feeling very confident. Good luck guys!

I took a one semester EMT course prior to reading this book in order to prepare for my NREMT, but I truly blame this book for passing my NREMT. My test cut off at 115 questions out of the 120 and although everyone’s test is different, the NREMT questions were incredibly similar to the practice questions in the book as well as the free NREMT simulator provided with the access code located in the book. This book teaches should EVERYTHING, but you MUST read the entire book in order to understand and let the info stick to you. It was never a drag or felt like a chore when reading this crash course book because it was so interesting and I felt like I was feeding my brain when reading it. 5 stars.

One of the best books for the EMT course. Fast shipping.
