Looking for practice q's in Med Math

[BlackhawkMedic78]

Hello to all.

I'm a new Paramedic student who's going through Medical Mathematics. Does anyone know where to find some good questions/exams online for just practicing? Infusion/Flow/Dop/Lido rates, etc. Very limited practice questions coming from my class/books. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
