The Science Behind Mobile Learning:
Overloading your brain with too much information at once is a common study mistake. Research has shown that smaller, more frequent study sessions are the key to knowledge retention. In other words, taking short quizzes on the go is a much more effective means of exam preparation than reading page after page in a textbook. Apps offer the benefit of interaction, which means you’re far more likely to remember a concept you engage with rather than one you’ve only read about.

Take your EMS studies with you, no matter where life takes you.

Decent experience.

Good overall questions. Some of the rational does not constitute rational rather an explanation why they feel this is the right answer. Some questions aren't national standard. Some are not correct in any standard of medicine.

Worth it

This was the app I primarily used to study for NREMT-P. I passed on the first try. I’m even using this afterwards to stay sharp. Pros - good variety of questions (there’s over 600) and the explanations are very helpful and usually they explain why each answer choice was correct/incorrect thoroughly. I studied the explanations almost as much as I did taking practice questions. There were definitely questions on actual exam that I remembered studying through this app. The question of the day reminders were more helpful than I expected. I would do random quick 10 questions any opportunity I got in preparing for the exam. This covered a lot of the A&P and pathophysiology that is heavily covered on the exam and something often forgotten to be studied during class. Cons - inaccuracies in drug choices for some of the protocols. However, rarely was this asked on the actual NREMT exam and I had other resources to study medication protocols.

Great app. Used this app exclusively and passed NR Paramedic on the first attempt.

Don’t waste your money

This app is a waste of money at $18. The quality of the questions is seriously lacking. This app has potential but until their question library undergoes a serious peer review I wouldn’t waste a penny on this app.

Great

Awesome app. Wished it had more practice questions on the free version but then they wouldn't make any money then right.

Not worth the money.

It glitches a lot and freezes. I’ve seen multiple wrong answers. These questions are long and and the NREMT-P questions were short and to the point. I did learn a few things from it though. This app has lots of questions on pharm classes and such and didn’t have a single one on the exam. It’s ok if you are just trying to learn but if you are preparing to take the NREMT-P then their are probably better options out there.

Good app...

I’ll continue to use it as a studying adjunct to prepare for my NRP. I’ll be back to change my rating when I pass it though.

I’m Wary...

I was an EMT for 3 years, a paramedic for 6 years, and taught medic school for 4. I took NR in 2008, but let my license lapse when I went back to school. I am retaking NR after being out of the field for 4 years. I think this app is okay for the most part, however certain questions give me pause and I wonder how in tune the writers are with NR. For example, a question described Cushing’s Triad as “Hypertension with reactive bradycardia and decreased respiratory effort...” “DECREASED respiratory effort” is a completely inaccurate description of a Cushing’s patient. They could have used so many different words (i.e. irregular, ataxic, Biot’s, abnormal, etc.) but the use of “decreased respiratory effort” is patently false. Because much has changed since I left the field, I am left wondering if some of my wrong answers are due to my own lack of knowledge of industry updates or incorrectly written questions. Thus, I wouldn’t advise anyone to rely solely on this app for NR prep. The upside to this app: The UI is great, very easy to use and intuitive. The explanations are helpful (assuming they are correct) and I like how you can keep track of your progress. Suggestion to developers: Maybe considering adding a feature that allows users to easily report a bad question. This might allow learning opportunities for everyone involved.
