In my opinion, you can't really cram for registry. There is such a wide range of material that is fair game for the test. Also, registry is set up to make you second guess yourself. You need to study the assessment process that is in your book. It's important to know the flow of things according to your book; for instance, if you arrive on scene to a car vs. bike collision and find a patient supine on the ground with a deformed lower extremity, what would you do first -- splint the extremity, apply traction, check the airway, perform a rapid trauma exam?

People seem to get tripped up by over-thinking. I found the quizzes in my EMT class to not really be a good preparation method for registry because they were so easy in comparison. With registry, you can easily be staring at three "right" answers; your job is to choose which answer is the most right. Go through your book and re-read the chapter summaries. Skim through the chapters and re-read the stuff that's in bold. This website has some decent review activities on it, and going over the registry skill sheets should help you remember the sequence of things. Think basics when you take the test and remember that your job is to pick which answer is most right. Good luck!

This is going to sound stupid but cramming and memorizing test questions will not help. The solution to passing the exam is simple. Know the material. If this is a basic exam... just think about your ABC's and practical stations you have done. The rest is easy.
 
The national registry exam is one of things where you either know the information or you don't and cramming really isn't going to help with your performance on it. Good luck though!

Yes, relax. Everyone I know who studied, was not an idiot and knew their stuff passed the test.
 
thanks guys its really helping, maybe if ya'll can shoot me some exam type questions(i know ya'll dont know the exact questions from the test) but maybe some questions i can answer that ya'll know of....you guys do have more experince that i do ....
thanks again
 
All you have to study , or buy first is a program from JB learning called Test Prep..

Hands down the best learning progrm out there and the most similar to the actual registery test, they put you in the mind state of when and what procedures should come first or second on a call.

Remember, airway is the most important...

I gave myself 2 weeks on this program and I was stopped at 70 questions, they even had questions on JB test prep that were on the registry..

Check it out!
