  • “We are finding the J&B Intermediate Review Manual to be a tremendous help to our students.  No one has an EMT-I review text as good as the AAOS text, and I think I've read them all!  The first year we encouraged our students to use this manual, our pass rate on the National Registry took a huge leap upward.  If any instructors are wanting to add an Intermediate Review manual to their course, tell them they won’t be disappointed in the EMT-Intermediate Review Manual for National Certification, and their students will be thanking them!"

    "I recently completed the National Registry for EMT-I through Baltimore City Fire Department. I purchased several books to prepare me for the registry exam in July 2003. None of the books that I purchased helped me as well as the EMT-Intermediate Review Manual for National Certification. This book was recommended by my instructor, and was well worth the money. The book taught me how to read the questions and was very similar to the National Registry test in which I scored an overall 86%. I have been recommending this book to my co-workers who are about to take the class."

    "Just thought I would let you know that every single one of my students made it through the National Registry I-85 test on the first try. I think I owe a lot of that to your review manual. It really helped them become more prepared."
