    Trouble with class/instructors

    Apologies for not checking the thread in some time, for some reason it stopped emailing me replies. I've got things more or less worked out at this point, I was mostly stressed over my scores because I believed (at the time) that they had a direct correlation to the level of patient care I...

    Trouble with class/instructors

    For all those examples I'm assuming that you've learned the correct answer to the questions. My issue isn't getting to the question from the problem, my issue is actually getting the correct answer. Again, the text and the test differ.

    Trouble with class/instructors

    I don't know what a Scenario Test is, so I assume no, we haven't taken any yet. Thinking outside the box and connecting the dots are all well and good, except, what does that actually mean? In my experience, those things are products of experience, not a tool used to gain experience...

    Trouble with class/instructors

    Trouble with class/instructors

    A recent example would be a question about the most common threat to females in the 40-60 age range. The text clearly states that menopause and osteoporosis are common occurrences for females of that age range. It also states a list of other common occurrences, cancer among them, for all...

    Trouble with class/instructors

    Hi all, I'm a first time poster, so if this in the wrong place, I'm sorry. Also, if this question has been answered elsewhere, sorry for the double post, I searched, I really did. My names Ben, I'm 30 years old, and I recently started an EMT-B class. I'm having a problem with the...
