Customer Reviews

Excellent with the Brady text series
First of all, no Paramedic review workbook I have seen is the best. That is why I can't give the book 5 stars. Each review book has its ups and downs. I recommend buying two different workbooks to study (especially for Nat'l Reg.)

This workbook is a perfect addition if you have the Brady text series. There are references to the page/book numbers in the answer section. This is helpful so that you can review the sections in which you feel you need more help.

The answers to the questions in the workbook are sufficient, especially because the reference pages are provided. However, in studying for Nat'l Reg, the answers could be better. I wish that the answers would include the rational behind why the other choices are wrong.

A downside is that the workbook goes into great detail. It has 56 chapters, including this sampling: ethics, gastroenterology, airway management, documentation, spinal trauma, neonatology, & HazMat. (If you are studying for NREMT-P test, you don't need to go into that great of detail.) But, if you are studying for quizzes in school, it could be helpful.

The book includes a CD, which is an excellent addition. It contains 2 180-question tests, which are in two different formats. One down side to the CD exams is that the answers aren't as good as they are in the workbook. The CD also contains other helpful information, such as a glossary and D.O.T. objectives.

Who remembers all this stuff...
I bought this with the Marchetta book and the combo worked well (I passed on the first go around), although I was sweating going into the test because I could barely score passing scores on the subject sections in this book. This book is based on the Brady text and like most review books, it hits on the most archane details that when taking in such a large subject, unless you just read it, you probably would not remember it. It is a good review that, combined with the other book, if you study and study early on, should do OK. But do not expect to remember all this stuff.

Excellent Study Guide
I purchased this book and studied from it about 2 months prior to taking the NREMT-P Exam. I passed on the first try. Would highly recommend to anyone that is preparing to take the exam.
