Hello (wasn't sure where to post this), I'm new too the forums, and must say am very pleased to have found an entire community of EMS personnel.
Anyways, I apologize if I come off as whiny, I don't mean to. I'm in my third week of EMT-B training and while I am enjoying it, one thing is getting to me; the tests. I have test anxiety, thus I have problems taking tests and it's proving to be a problem.
We tend to go over one or two chapters in the book every night of class, with the exception of Fridays where we do hands on stuff. Now every night, I will go home and read the chapters we went over, notate the entire chapter and take down the objectives in the book and do the quizzes for the chapters that are provided in the workbook that is given to us, as well as take the online quizzes our instructor provides for us.
Yet still I barely pass the tests with an 80% (80% average is required to pass the course). I'm getting very nervous about my grade since the tests are getting harder and the questions on the test are so different from those on the practices, can anyone offer some suggestions to help me be better prepared for the tests? Any help would be a great relief, thanks. (I apologize if this is in the wrong category)
