First, the stem does contain all of the information you need to answer it correctly. There are several distinguishing traits that separate NREMT exam questions from the ones you may have seen in class. The remaining choices are called distractors. The first "question" part is called the stem. Habit 4: Know what to expect.Īny multiple choice exam item consists of the same parts. Like any other muscle, the brain can only absorb so much without having to take a break to process. It's probably better to study over four, two-hour sessions spread throughout the week, rather than trying to read nonstop for eight hours. Too much studying can be less than helpful. Reduce or eliminate distraction - those earbuds fill your brain with music, not knowledge (unless you're listening to recorded lectures or the Inside EMS podcast, of course!) Habit 3: Give your brain a break. Prep your study materials so that you don't waste time pulling everything together at the last minute. For example, schedule your Friday afternoons to be in the library from 1 to 5 p.m.
Each week set aside specific times to spend reviewing your notes and the reading. While studying with friends and coworkers can be helpful, your brain does need some quiet time to process all of that information. There are truly no dumb questions except the ones you don't ask and regret not doing so later. Ask about topics that are difficult for you. Review your in class exam results so you better understand why you chose the wrong answers.
Pay attention to the topics your instructor presents - they are likely the more critical ones to master. If you know that the NREMT exam is waiting for you at the end of your class, keeping that in mind while you're still in the class will help create a mindset that prepares you for first time success. 41-year EMS veteran from Minnesota credits two rules he learned from M*A*S*H for his career longevity.
