National Registry Paramedic Prep: Practice + Proven Strategies (Kaplan Test Prep)

Taking the NREMT-P exam? Get this book! The $40 or so that it costs is well worth a complete summary of your entire medic program. For the person saying it's too detailed and goes in-depth, unnecessarily so - I would have to agree. But on the other hand, it's better then rereading the AAOS textbooks because that's what a large chunk of the exam is on. Seriously, read one chapter every day and you'll be done in under 2 weeks. Better yet, just set a goal to read 50 pages a day, focus on those 50 pages, understand them. If this book provides absolutely nothing of value for the exam at the very least you will be a better medic because of it. It's not that hard.The test on the other hand is something else. I recall going over certain topics in the Kaplan prep book that were on the test but I would describe the exam as testing your ability and confidence in being a paramedic. It's more of a test on EMS than formulas and vocabulary. It will not ask generic questions like...what is hypoxia? It's one of the strangest tests I have ever taken. Completely random and many situational based questions. I walked out not knowing what it was I had just taken. There are always the standard two answer that BOTH could be correct. But you have to pick one. Read the question thoroughly once more and go with your gut. I finished at around question 90 and became certified today! And I think this book definitely helped me get an edge.

So I took the national registry test last month only to fail all sections. I didn’t really study because I felt that I didn’t need to which I obviously did. I had forgotten basic things to remember which hurt me during the test. A couple of my buddies recommended this book and said it helped them pass. So after reading some reviews, I decided what the heck let’s just give it a try. I studied the whole book in less than a month and retook the test and passed it. I can honestly say this book really helped me pass on my second attempt. It hits most of the points you need to know for the test. It is a little more detailed but there’s nothing wrong with knowing that extra information. I recommend buying this book if you’re having trouble passing the national registry or if you need a study guide.

I recently went through the National Registry process for my paramedic and was looking for good resources to study for the exam. I came upon this book and bought it based on the reviews.In general, the book does a good job of reviewing the key aspects of a standard paramedic textbook, a la Mosby or Caroline. It covers the main components of Airway, Cardiology, Pharmacology, OB/Pediatrics, and Medical Emergencies. As I read through the various chapters, I would take practice tests and found that there just wasn't enough detail provided in this book. Essentially, it gave you about 75% of the material. This may or may not be enough to pass the test. It also doesn't have a section covering EMS Prepatory or EMS Operations, both of which are components of the written exam and must be passed to achieve your NRP.The accuracy of the material was pretty good. A bothersome common trait was the use of numbers inappropriately, rather than the number being written out; "1" instead of "one." There are other shorthand findings throughout as well. It's as if the author submitted his writings to the editor in shorthand but then these weren't corrected for the final written product.In the end, I passed the NRP on my first attempt but relied more on my Mosby textbook and computer practice exams than this book. It has it's place but don't rely completely on it.

I read this book cover to cover during the week before my national was scheduled. I am SO glad I did! It took all the major points from my 2,500 page paramedic course text and consolidated it down to 400 pages, making it the perfect review text. MANY of the questions I saw on National were almost word for word from this text. If you really put in the effort to read this book, you will definitely be successful on your NREMT P.

This review book is great but its missing one important section. Its missing the "EMS Operations" review section. That's 1/5 of the National Paramedic written exam. But excluding that, the rest of the material in the book is perfect. I would still recommend this review book to anyone looking to pass the NREMT Paramedic written exam.

This book is amazing. When I finished my medic class I thought well I just got done with the class, I don’t need to study. Well my failing grade of every single section proved other wise. I bought this book and read it cover to cover. It’s basically my year long class condensed down into 300-ish pages. Covers the basics, the high points, literally everything. However, it’s missing ambulance ops which is a decent percent of the test. The book is an easy read without a bunch of unneeded fluff. Anyways, I had my second attempt yesterday. I left feeling like I did better but I wasn’t sure if I passed. Today I found out I did! I honestly give this book so much credit. Whether you’re having a hard time passing or just want to do a good review before your first attempt, BUY THIS. Buy it right now. Hit the ‘Buy Now’ button and thank me later.

This book was excellent for refreshing my knowledge after medic school and before testing. I even learned some new things from it! It does an excellent job at breaking down each section amd discussing the "why & how" about physiologic processes... Which will help you KNOW the material, not simply memorize facts.

Hopefully this material will help me pass national registry. As far as how this book came, I am royally disappointed. The book looks like it was printed at office depot and glued into the cover. The cover and my index in the back are cut at the top as shown in my pictures... like it was pieced together. The pages are very thin and I had to separate each page as it was assembled stuck together and perforated. Very misleading..to say I paid the price of a new book, this book looks very used. Will submit after reading and passing registry. I'm praying all of the info I need is in here since it looks pieced together..ugh.

Ce livre est exactement ce que je cherchais.Merci.
