I realize that I may be repeating some information that is possibly listed somewhere else in the forum, but I figured it be best to provide someone more recent information or a "heads up" if you will regarding some of the online testing sites that are offered as practice exams for the National. I recently finished up my EMT-B course through Santa Ana college and was looking for a reliable and accurate website to use in conjunction with my books and reviewing of my notes to give me another means of testing my weak areas. I found in the forum (at the time I searched) only a few threads regarding testing sites to use for other EMT-B's that were trying to take the National or had already taken in and what sites they had used. At the time the only one that had come up was emt-national-training.com and after reading good reviews on those threads from other EMT's I took it as a sign to try it out. Unfortunately after taking a few of the exams (this site doesn't let you grade it's sample test), after having signed up for the 3 month $70 package, I realized that at least 1/2 of their questions they had been giving me in the different exams were MEDIC related questions! In a panic that I had severely underestimated how much I paid attention in class, I consulted a medic friend of mine who works in Riverside who said those questions were good to know but nothing an EMT-B would do, let alone need to know for the National. With that being said I merely wanted to alert if you will any aspiring EMT-B's that are looking for test sites to practice their knowledge on, granted I'm not bashing the accuracy of this site, I much prefer a seemingly more realistic site like id44.com (that's not to mention a heck of a lot cheaper and WAYYY more user friendly). Since I'm no longer going to be using the EMT-National testing practice site, I submitted a ticket to them explaining my situation of unemployment and how $70 for 3 months is a great deal for someone planning to actually use it though. I'm crossing my fingers that they at the very least issue me a partial refund for $50 since I've taken minimals tests within the few weeks I've had access to it.
