NEW & REDESIGNED! To better help you study for and pass the NREMT exam, we have redesigned EMT PASS to include smaller topical review questions and two summative final exams. All questions have been revised and updated to provide for the best learning experience. Topical review tests include sections on Airway, Cardiology, Medical, Trauma, Operations, OB & Pediatrics. All review tests include a detailed written rationale to help you better understand the answer and how to interpret an NREMT style question. Once you are ready to test your readiness and challenge your stamina, move on to the two simulated 120-question NREMT exams in the test section. Still the tough, high-quality questions you have come to expect from Bill Brown, former executive director of the NREMT, the redesigned EMT PASS will prepare you like no other for passing your certification exam.
I can tell you that I’m a pretty good test taker and know how to get top scores. The most important thing is to have a deep understanding of the concepts like the whys and hows. This app does have a few good questions that force you to think about the different processes of the underlying condition but a lot of the explanations are inadequate in that regard and just say things like “this question is really hard, you’d pass if you got this one right”. The explanations also sometimes are entirely mismatched with the question. For example, one question explained that loss of potassium pump was the main cause of cell death but the question was asking what was the main cause of hypoxia. If you really want to do well and know the content well, study pathophysiology. It’s really easy to remember what the symptoms are for a given medical condition if you understand how it works. If you know what the main benefit or action of the different treatments it’s pretty easy to figure out when and why you need to use certain treatments in certain cases. Yes, there is some brute memorization still like for dosage, but this way it’s fairly minimal.
I don’t even know where to start with this. For a man who is highly respected in this field, it absolutely befuddles me how this app is a pure mess. - Expect handful of questions involving things that aren’t in the textbook. - Questions with irrelevant material that you won’t be tested on. - Poorly designed questions, and answers - Contradicting answers - Limited number of questions, and tests for an app that is $29.99 All in all, save your money, and don’t make the mistake I did. This app has a 3.5 rating for a reason.
I was one of the misfortunate few that received a failure email after my NREMT, which really really sucked, but I decided to look at it as a detour, not a final destination. I studied A LOT before my NREMT, and did well during my entire course, but I was totally caught off guard by the NREMT question vocabulary and style, and even though I was a whisper away from passing it, close enough doesn’t count. After the test I had a lot of difficulty finding material that felt like the NREMT style, and so far this was the closest thing I’ve found. It feels almost exact really, and I feel it describes the NREMT mindset really well. Apps like EMT Prep are great if you struggle with the concepts, but that app didn’t feel like it did anything to prepare me for how the NREMT was going to be. I’m not to the finish line yet, but this app sure has helped me feel a lot more confident again. I’m thankful for that.
Just passed NREMT today. Pocket prep was way more useful.
Immediately downloaded this app after failing first attempt. This is my first written review EVER so take that for what it’s worth. This app was worth every penny. Top 3 investment by a long shot.
The questions on this app are challenging which is good because it makes the NREMT seem easier. Overall good app.
Do not buy this, I just wasted $30, many of the questions and answers are absolutely wrong and will cause you to fail the NREMT if you use the information. I’m so upset that I wasted money on this app. 10/10 do not recommend
Do not buy this app it is not worth it, much of the information conflicts with itself and what is taught in EMT school, and includes very specific information not even remotely found on the NREMT. Do not purchase this useless app. It shatters your confidence in the procedures, rules, and regulations you were taught and makes you second guess yourself. Literally incorrect information is present in this app.
I could not recommend this app more. Although it is a little pricey, it was much worth every penny because it was the sole reason I passed my first time taking the NREMT. Questions are very challenging but prepare you very well for the exam. I used this app as my main study guide for the exam and I honestly found the NREMT easier compared to the app. Great this app as a study tool, not something to use to test your knowledge. Read every summary given for each question and review topics as needed. Finished the NREMT at 70 questions in roughly 40 minutes.
This app shattered my confidence. I had a low 90’s average in my EMT class. Most of the test and reviews on this app I scored 52-66%. Many questions contradict what was taught in the text book. Very discouraging!
