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. It’s really easy to remember what the symptoms are for a given medical condition if you understand how it works. If you really want to do well and know the content well, study pathophysiology. 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. The explanations also sometimes are entirely mismatched with the question. 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 most important thing is to have a deep understanding of the concepts like the whys and hows. I can tell you that I’m a pretty good test taker and know how to get top scores. Suboptimal study tool overall but some good questions Some of the content was definitely out of date! I don’t think the app gave me a fair assessment of what I knew, and I totally disagree that it is updated every year. I somewhat panicked the morning of even though I KNEW MY STUFF. The app led me to believe I didn’t know anything and would fail the NREMT. Overall, I was much more prepared than I thought when I purchased this app. Absolutely shook my confidence in what I thought I knew. Explanations are always given for answers, but no way to compare them if they conflict. No way to get clarification when answers between 2 questions conflicted. I found many questions either directly conflicted with what I’d been taught in school, or even with other questions asked within the app. Reminded me about some content I hadn’t thought or remembered to review. Helped prepare me for the types of questions and format/style of the exam. I spent a lot of time and money using EMT Prep in advance of the NREMT, but ultimately, I don’t think it was worth the cost. ![]() I ultimately passed in my first attempt, but I attribute that more to my education than this app. This app was good, not great, in preparing me for my NREMT. Somewhat helpful, but ultimately confusing
