Finally finished up my ride time and called to make an appointment for my national emt test and have a 1:30 time tommorrow to take. A little nervious about it. Going to do some last minute studying and hope to do well.

Hey Alan,

www.emtb.com is a great resource to employ to help you study. There is also a youtube video out there to help you prepare for a trauma testing station. It shows a pretty good dcapbtls trauma assessment. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1dwNDahGLk Good luck!

I wish you luck. As I am beginning my EMT-B class as of 0800 tomorrow morning. Already have all my firefighting certs. Just hope EMT is as easy.

Is there anything out there that is the same as the national test that I can study for before I take the test.

If I may;

1. Don't fall into the scenario questions. Don't read into them. They are what they are as you read them.

2. Read the question and all of the answer options in their entirety. Generally, in an abcd type question, you can rule out 2 options rather quickly, giving you a 50/50 shot of getting the answer correct.

3. Keep in mind that airway, breathing, circulation and c-spine will always be the priority of the choices offered.

Good luck!
