Been a while since I've been around but Im in need of some help:
A member of my crew at the Fire Department has been studying to become an EMT. He has taken the national registry test unsuccessfully three times. He will be taking a refresher shortly and the test again shortly after.
Problem 1:
He is originally from Romania. He lived there until he was 13 years old and speaks the native language. He speaks english fairly well, but he is having trouble with much of the medical terminology. We have been working on much of the terminology and are doing some better.
Problem 2:
He's been using some online testing materials, but none of the online tests are similar to the questions on the national registry. Are there any online tests that are more realistic, or closer to the format of the national registry test? It seems as though the online tests he has been using consist of a question, with one CORRECT answer and three INCORRECT answers, whereas the national registry questions has a question with four CORRECT answers, but you have to pick the MOST CORRECT answer.
Has anyone run into this problem and been able to successfully get a student through the testing process?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks
Craig
