Highly predictive of NREMT-P Exam Results
I was a little skeptical about whether these exams were any good, but I didn't know which one to pick and this one was in the library. I also thought that only 4 exams wasn't a lot of practice. In any event, I took all four exams in the week before the NREMT exam for practice and scored between 80 and 85; my actual score on the NREMT exam was 84.

I scored worst on the last one (80), which was a little disconcerting. Also, I would have found it helpful if they would give the reader a way to figure out which category a question was in; I had a sense that I was a little weak in medical emergencies (70 on the NREMT exam), but it was not at all obvious just looking at a question if it was a medical, airway or trauma question (say - in which category does smoke inhalation belong?). I also scored better on OB/peds (90) on the NREMT exam than I did on the practice tests in general.

These are quibbles, though. For me, results matter, and the fact that I took 5 tests (4 in this book and one "real" one on the NREMT exam) and scored within 5 points all of them is a very strong recommendation.

If you are looking for a review book, look somewhere else.
As a paramedic student, I hope to have the most accurate and up to date review material. This review book fulfills neither of those needs. Upon showing this book to a number of experienced medics, they outright questioned the validity and knowledge of the author. The facts in this book are incorrect and thus dangerous to anyone hoping to pass the paramedic exam.

I recently used this book for a pre-admittance test to my EMS instructor course. I found it helpful because the tests are structured like the National Registry for Paramedics test. As you may know, the NR requires a passing score for each individual section (Trauma, Medical, OB/GYN, Cardiovascular), in addition to an overall passing score. The book gave me insight on my weak points so I was able to concentrate on those. I recommend this book even though it did have some questionable answers to some material (as do most tests), if I had a doubt I looked it up. Also, depending on how recent the book has been updated or which copy you may have, some of the material on ACLS, PALS, and PHTLS may be outdated as there have been recent changes.
