For as long as there has been an NREMT exam, students have studied the wrong things... or not studied enough of the right things. They re-read their books, look over exams, make flashcards. In short, they study facts.
Don’t get us wrong. You need to know the facts. (If you haven’t learned the facts in class, you are in extra trouble right now.) But what students need to know for the NREMT—and what educators need to tell students—is that they need to practice application.
Here's an example: You know how to splint a leg. That’s the knowledge – but it’s just the foundation. What if there are two fractures in the leg? What if there are many fractures in the leg? What if the patient with the injured leg is also in shock? What if they also have internal injuries that aren’t immediately obvious? That’s the application – and it’s the difference between a pass and a fail.
This concept was the genesis of Limmer Education’s NREMT Exam Cram —an NREMT study guide that highlights the most important NREMT study concepts (facts and application).
A checklist of application-based areas for EMT students to study.
Basic principles of pathophysiology.
CPR facts.
Test prep tips for the NREMT.
Med term reminders.
Skeletal anatomy.
Plus, below you'll find a list of additional resources to help you master some of the concepts in this study guide.
Please share the link with other EMS students, educators, and practitioners. Enjoy!
P.S. When it comes to application, Limmer Education makes NREMT review apps that use this philosophy to prepare you to pass the NREMT the first time.
Our test prep products are created and reviewed by leading EMS educators, textbook authors, and former NREMT personnel. All products are updated regularly to keep pace with AHA guidelines, best practices, and NREMT changes.
Get this if: You need comprehensive NREMT prep and already have a decent understanding of clinical topics.
Updated for 2024, this is test prep that’s just like the NREMT. Made in collaboration with a former director of the NREMT, each app has 500 practice questions that are similar and a bit harder than what you’ll see on the actual exam.

Thank you.
Do you have this same study guide for those taking the Paramedic NREMT?
Not yet - It is on our list! The principles in the EMT version are still important (BLS before ALS) foundation.
