5 YouTube Videos That Will Change How You Think About the NREMT

The National Registry doesn’t put unnecessary information into exam questions, so pay attention when you see a long NREMT question.
2. Clues in NREMT Questions (Patient Matching Exercise)
Train yourself to recognize clues within NREMT question stems.

Pathophysiology is a big part of the NREMT. How well do you understand pathophysiology? This short series looks at the ways the body compensates for shock, how that affects vital signs, what happens when the body can no longer compensate for shock, and how to use all this information with your patients (or on a test question).

We review all the new question styles, what they mean, and how to practice them.

Straight from the horse’s mouth. The NREMT created short sample tests for AEMT and paramedic candidates to familiarize themselves with the new question styles for 2024.
Please note, per the NREMT’s intro page on these tests: “These sample items are intended solely to introduce you to the different types of items you may see in the certification examination. They are not a substitute for studying. None of these sample items will appear on the actual examination.”
