EMT-B class

Finally have finished my EMT-B class in 10 weeks that normally takes 5 months. All I have left to do is my ride time ( Evaulate 5 patients) and take the National Registry test. Hope I can do better this time than last time I did it 10 years ago, coundn't pass it. Hope the instructor this time is better then the last one. Have a hard time with tests and hopfully I can pass it this time.

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!

Comment by Alan Small on July 10, 2009 at 5:07am: Is there anything out there that is the same as the national test that I can study for before I take the test.

Comment by Andy Marsh on July 10, 2009 at 1:02am: 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!
