I've been in my EMT-B class for about 2 months now and loving it!
We do a lot of hands on senarios in class and a lot of us were always confused about what we were supposed to be doing (order, etc).
We were asked by our teacher if we would like to be a "victim" for another class taking the NREMT certifications. I tell you, it really cleared things up.
You are either asked to be the assistant or the victim. You cannot give hints or help (with out them asking) to the person taking the test, but it really helped make things very clear.
It's a great way to get some insight as to what you will be tested on and how the test will be run. Being a "victim" really helped me gain my confidence and am now kicking some behind in the in class assessments.
Anyway, just a thought from a noob.
