Great content - horrible app
While the content is great, the app is so horrible that I would recommend using something else. Test prep is stressful - no need to make it worse with an app that routinely fails to track your history or let you review missed questions. It’s a stunningly bad app.
Confusing and in accurate
The questions in this app are contradicting. Just came across one question that asks: What’s the appropriate compression rate and depth for an adult? The correct answer to the question was 100/min @ 2 inches depth. It states that’s the correct answer. Fast forward 3 questions and the same exact question pops up again. Asking correct depth and rate for CPR for adults. I choose the same answer for the previous questions. 100/min @ 2.5 inches depth and it corrects me and says the correct answer is 120/min @ 3 inches. I think this app needs an update

Not helpful
I don’t like this app. Some stuff seems outdated or just plain wrong. Some of the info seems beyond EMT level so not helpful overall IMO. I wish I hadn’t wasted the money on it.
Review
Very very tuff but basically will over prepare you. If you do remotely good on these you will pass!!
Highly Recommend!
I really enjoyed this app. The practice tests are extremely challenging and do a great job of highlighting exactly what you need to work on before taking the National Registry. The NREMT itself is brutal, but this app does a solid job assessing your readiness after completing your EMT course and preparing for the exam. My only recommendation would be to regularly update and expand the question bank by adding new questions and scenarios to keep the content fresh and prevent repetition when reviewing the same topics multiple times. Passed my national and got cut off at question 70! Thank you Limmer!!

Overcomplicated
Just took the nremt yesterday so speaking from fresh experience. I find this app overly complicated as well as it seems the questions are trying to trick you it seems. Explanations in each question are okay, but I believe pocket prep or medic tests is the better option in my opinion.
It’s okay till it’s not.
Very good information provided does make you think. However regarding Trauma 1 and 2 portion I would actively recommend AGAINST this. There were numerous rationales that were effectively “because”. Or the questions don’t make you think/ educate you. They genuinely serve as “gotcha” questions that were right on a technicality but I would strongly argue are so granular you couldn’t say they’re even book right answers or even objectively right.
There is a question where striking a kids foot against consent was the right answer sent it the Head EMS teacher asking is this correct response was no faith in this app effectively.
For quiz questions
EMTpass is great outside of all of Trauma I would recommend pocket prep for that.

Best EMT Study App
Used this prior to my NREMT Written Exam and it 100% helped me pass on the first try. All the questions are in the same format as the NREMT, and the practice exams even helped to teach me more. 10/10, recommended to all my classmates
Dated- Needs to be redone.
The app is like using a windows vista computer. It’s dated. It doesn’t help and doesn’t get me excited to take the national. Hope to get a refund.
Glitchy
The drag and drops are cool but they aren’t on the NREMT so no point in them but also are glitchy to drag and drop them and barely work i have to skip them.
Just Took the NREMT app is nothing like it.
I bought this app hoping it would help prepare me for the NREMT, but unfortunately, it did not. I just took the NREMT today and went in feeling fairly confident because I’ve been using this app for the past few months and have become pretty knowledgeable based on what it taught me. However, this app was nothing like the actual test.
It didn’t cover many of the topics that appeared on the exam, nor were the questions similar in format. I’d recommend finding a different app or relying on a study book instead, especially focusing on different diseases, which made up most of the test. I also recommend studying medical terminology, as there were many questions about definitions, signs, and symptoms. It would have been helpful if this app included those topics, but unfortunately, it did not match the NREMT’s content well.

Save your money!
This app gives a lot of wrong answers! I wish i could get my money back but cannot.
Syncing Data?
The app has good questions but frequently says syncing data and glitches out.
Do not recommend in the slightest
I have been using this app to study for my upcoming NREMT exam and this app has done nothing but make me second guess myself on almost everything. There have been multiple times that I have answered a question to get it wrong, to then come across the same question again later and get it wrong again because the correct answer changed from when I saw it the first time. Not only that but I have come across multiple typos and grammatical errors on this app as well. I know that sounds extremely critical but if I’m spending money on this app I expect much better than that. I KNOW MY STUFF but this app is making me feel otherwise.

It’s debatable…
This app is good for practice, however I feel a lot of things contradict what I have previously learned in the classroom. It’s a double edged sword because you get to learn more but at the same time it makes you doubt a lot of what you actually know. One big problem I have is the misspelling in some of the questions, it makes me wonder how much effort was really put into such an expensive app and how accurate it can really be if some of the words are not spelled correctly.

I eventually enjoyed using this app to study.
When I first began EMT everyone recommended both this app and EMS Pocket prep. I will admit at first I liked pocket prep more and I still recommend it. The questions on this one just seemed more difficult and I couldn’t understand them. Eventually I decided I’m going conquer this app and really focus on why the answers are the way the app explains them. When it finally clicks then you will understand. I’m a decent test taker when I can memorize key words but the NREMT isn’t like that. I think in the end this app helped me a lot. I ended up passing on my first try.

Suboptimal study tool overall but some good questions
I can tell you that I’m a pretty good test taker and know how to get top scores. The most important thing is to have a deep understanding of the concepts like the whys and hows. This app does have a few good questions that force you to think about the different processes of the underlying condition but a lot of the explanations are inadequate in that regard and just say things like “this question is really hard, you’d pass if you got this one right”. The explanations also sometimes are entirely mismatched with the question. For example, one question explained that loss of potassium pump was the main cause of cell death but the question was asking what was the main cause of hypoxia.
If you really want to do well and know the content well, study pathophysiology. It’s really easy to remember what the symptoms are for a given medical condition if you understand how it works. If you know what the main benefit or action of the different treatments it’s pretty easy to figure out when and why you need to use certain treatments in certain cases. Yes, there is some brute memorization still like for dosage, but this way it’s fairly minimal.

Save your money!
I don’t even know where to start with this. For a man who is highly respected in this field, it absolutely befuddles me how this app is a pure mess.
- Expect handful of questions involving things that aren’t in the textbook.
- Questions with irrelevant material that you won’t be tested on.
- Poorly designed questions, and answers
- Contradicting answers
- Limited number of questions, and tests for an app that is $29.99
All in all, save your money, and don’t make the mistake I did. This app has a 3.5 rating for a reason.

So far I’m very happy with this app.
I was one of the misfortunate few that received a failure email after my NREMT, which really really sucked, but I decided to look at it as a detour, not a final destination. I studied A LOT before my NREMT, and did well during my entire course, but I was totally caught off guard by the NREMT question vocabulary and style, and even though I was a whisper away from passing it, close enough doesn’t count.
After the test I had a lot of difficulty finding material that felt like the NREMT style, and so far this was the closest thing I’ve found. It feels almost exact really, and I feel it describes the NREMT mindset really well. Apps like EMT Prep are great if you struggle with the concepts, but that app didn’t feel like it did anything to prepare me for how the NREMT was going to be. I’m not to the finish line yet, but this app sure has helped me feel a lot more confident again. I’m thankful for that.

Pocket prep way better.
Just passed NREMT today. Pocket prep was way more useful.
