I am gearing up to take the CCP-C exam in the very near future. I have been preparing by using a variety of different materials including the UMBC CCEMT-P textbook, misc Youtube and online sources, and the CCP-C review app for iOS.

What are some of the best resources to use? I am most curious about the CCP-C review app I have. Are the questions presented in the app identical to what I will see on the actual exam? The questions in the app don't really seem that hard to me.

Honestly, I always tell people to look at Will Wingfield's ACE SAT program (either the book or video series). It's what I primarily used for FP-C and it's amazing, even if it is a little dated. Cherry's Back to Basics is a good book as well for review.
As far as texts to study the ASTNA Critical Care Nursing book is a great resource.
 
It's been a long time since I took one of these exams, and we didn't have all these prep resources when I was taking CFP and CFRN so I don't know anything about them.

What I will say is that for a paramedic who wants to learn about critical care, the best bang-for-the-buck, most high yield useful information-per page resource that I have ever seen is the FCCS course manual. Marino's ICU Book is excellent, as well.

I can't say those resources are "test prep" material, but for general learning in an efficient format, they are impossible to beat.

I'll have to look those up to add to my home library :)
 
The FCCS text and course are designed for non-intensivist clinicians (ED personnel, mostly) in non-tertiary facilities who have to provide the initial assessment and management (first 24 hours) of a patient who will eventually require tertiary critical care services.

Paramedics are not the intended audience, but the material is highly applicable to the situation where you are picking up a really sick patient in a small ED to transfer them to a tertiary center.

I actually like books and courses like that. It forces me to look more into things if I run into something that I have no idea what they're talking about
