I'm starting an "in house" EMT-b training class this Monday(3/12/12). This is by far the hardest job acceptance course I have ever been through (An ACT type test, three separate physical agility tests, several interviews, blood work, drug tests, and driving record checks.) I am asking for any helpful study tips and guides to help me through this. I have already committed to working my *** off but know that this is a crash course that lasts only 6 weeks.Any shared wisdom would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

I did mine in 3, as I am sure most have done, so 6 should be pretty straight forward.
Wait really?
Please don't get people on the subject of condensed EMT classes.
Read your book, manage your time well, ask questions and study.
Maybe I didn't understand... I thought this was for a job and the OP already was an EMT-B. I just figured if you can make it through the class the first time, get certified, pass a knowledge test on the material, taking it a second time in a slow manner (considering most jobs are 40 hours a week, which equates to a 3 week EMT class) should be pretty straight forward.
Similarly if you want to work for Medic 1 in Seattle you have to take their medic program.
But if I was wrong then take Rob's advice and "Read your book, manage your time well, ask questions and study," but it is probably worth noting, an employing at this point of the game isn't (well, shouldn't) screw you over since they WANT you to pass and work for them.

Thank you all for the replies left in this thread. I should have specified that I am not an EMT-b yet and that the classes are for training purposes.I agree with Maine iac that after an extensive review process I would have to mess up pretty badly to fail,and that they would want me to pass after having invested time and money into my training.The replies of "study hard" and "pay attention" etc. are what I planned on doing anyways. And inasmuch good work and study ethic are key to passing. So it looks like I have a firm grasp on what is required to pass and really appreciate the feedback from each poster.Also for Maine iac yes I will be paid for attending the class.
