Focus on the skills sheets! For the NREMT I highly recommend reading/studying the EMT crash course book https://www.amazon.com/Crash-Course-Online-Practice-Preparation/dp/0738612359, it’s only 12$ and it totally saved me. As well as listening to emt podcasts. Good luck!
This is a great, cheap option that was amazing when I was studying for the NREMT. It takes all of the content areas of the NREMT and condenses it down into +/- 300 pages. Great for reviewing without spending what some of the other studying apps can cost.
Emt B prep, and get on Amazon and buy this: EMT crash course
It was an online practice test that came with a crash course book I purchased. https://www.amazon.com/Crash-Course-Online-Practice-Preparation/dp/0738612359/ref=sr\_1\_1?crid=1UE0WENM2FCW1&keywords=emt+crash+course&qid=1657840053&sprefix=emt+crash+%2Caps%2C710&sr=8-1
I just passed my NREMT last Thursday, what really helped me know what I needed to study was this book:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0738612359/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_api_glt_i_8K5GA6N7ZXRVE3QSH9H8
Specifically the practice test that comes with it. I would recommend (if you get that book) to take the practice test and see what areas you need help in and read the chapters you need help in.
EMT Crash Course Book has been great so far. I wish I had bought this earlier in my program. It's just the essentials and not a lot of filler text so it's quick and easy to read. Definitely check it out.
I recently bought the "EMT Crash Course" book on amazon and have thoroughly enjoyed it. $16 bucks and comes with some practice tests. Its very meat/potatoes type info, no bulky text to read through, just essential info so its very easy to read and absorb some useful info. It's not 100% all encompassing however and may lack some details you might be lacking.
Ohhhh that’s not the same book I used. We used the infamous “orange book”. However, I do recommend getting a copy of EMT Crash Course.. It’s everything you need to know to pass the national registry test in short sentences. It helped pass my NREMT and will definitely help you pre-study for your course.
I’m liking the emt crash course book. It’s good for general outlines. It comes with a practice nremt access code.

Have you tried the app called pocket prep? NREMT savior I used this app and studied my ass with it as well as this book NREMT Holy Ghost
Hey I am just finishing my EMT-B class and here are some things I can recommend.
Youtube EMT Chapter Lectures. My class used the "Emergency Care of the Sick and Injured" book, so I found chapter by chapter lectures and listened to as many as I possibly could and wrote notes. (This takes a lot of time as not all lectures are fast and can be overly thorough, but great sources of info straight from the text)
Start memorizing the 10 EMT skills NOW. (You want EMT skills, not the EMR skills) Primarily focus on memorizing the Patient Assessments (Medical and Trauma). Also, watch Youtube videos of each of these being done in real time so you can see the steps being done in order and how they are being done. I used the "EMTPrep" videos and the "Yale New Haven" videos. Both were really helpful.
Get yourself the "EMT Crash Course" book from Amazon. I wish I had this earlier in the class. I bought it 3/4 of the way through just for some extra material to study and was very impressed how to-the-point and easy it is to read. It will cover *most* of the EMT material and for someone that's very busy or has limited time to study this will be a very helpful source of information.
My area SUCKED to try to find companies willing to do ride-alongs due to COVID and most places wouldn't let me ride with them. My school set me up with a place and I would recommend asking your teacher ASAP to try to find a way to start doing ride-alongs. Take multiple pens, pocket notebook and food for the crew.
Other than this, just study study study study study. Good luck!
It's very simplified and some goes into AEMT stuff, but still not detailed. Everything is a "pearl." It can help, especially listening to his videos while driving (not the Youtube vids but the ones if you pay for his program). One big issue I had was that a lot of what you need to know, like the obstretrics or gynecology are only in the extra paid tier. There are two sections on it in the regular paid access area. It's another $14 per month for the VIP section.
Public Safety Guru also makes some good podcasts that can help understand some things. He makes some audio lectures and reviews.
I was listening to both of those anytime I was driving.
The Crash Course is a good book and is only like $15 from Amazon, https://smile.amazon.com/dp/0738612359?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details
It's more concise than a text and less detailed, but goes over most of what you'll need. There is access to their practice tests as well.
​
Speaking of practice tests, I'm sure you've noticed that the practice tests aren't quite what is on the NREMT exam. They can help you if you look up the answers you miss, and don't stick to the easy practice exams.

And the EMT crash course book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0738612359/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_BZ9PEMMDBPCN6095QS6Z
(Source: I just passed my NREMT on the 19th just using these two things to study. Got 82% correct out of 600 questions on pocket prep. Also reviewed most but not all chapters in the crash course book. Do around 200 questions on the app and study your the areas you did the worst in in the crash course book, the app will tell you which areas you need work. Don’t do missed question quizzes on the app until around 2 weeks before your test then just do missed questions until your test date and I’m sure you’ll pass)
Good luck :)
I highly recommend the EMT Crash Course Book. Helped me a lot with distilling the necessary stuff.

I don’t know if you have to get this from amazon but this book along with the practice test was really helpful to me.
