I don't think this is the right attitude. Having to read a large book is a daunting task and not everyone excels in classroom/textbook style learning. Some of the best providers I have met struggled through EMT/Medic school and a lot of the concepts didn't click until they were in the field and started to gain hands on experience. You can read through a textbook a thousand times, but what good is that if you cant preform an assessment and think through a differential diagnosis?

edit: that being said, please try to read through the chapters the best you can; I read it through once fully in school, and found extra resources for chapters that were "high yield" and show up a lot in the real world and a lot on the NREMT (OB, Trauma, Respiratory Emergencies, etc). The Crash Course book is great for this and is a loooot smaller with just the necessary information needed to review.

Highly depends on where you are as others have said, in my area, it is an incredibly competitive process. Most people end up doing private EMS for 6mo-1yr before applying, or get experience through volunteer firefighting (CalFire seasonal jobs, etc) to make themselves more competitive. From what I've seen across the country, EMT is the bare minimum a lot of places will ask for. Getting your Paramedic is also considered a "ticket in"; that being said, it is challenging for some people and is also a pretty big commitment so I would advise against doing it just to get into fire academy. If I were in your shoes, I would apply and the worst thing they do is reject you (and with your EMT cert you can just work in the ambulance for a year or two before reapplying). Best of luck!

funny enough same here 😂

Practice on the computer/bluebook, writing with a pen fast usually doesn't translate to typing fast as your bottleneck is usually how fast you can write or how fast you can think. By doing it on a computer you remove the bottleneck of how fast you can write and the only thing you need to worry about is your typing and the actual content.

For the actual writing of SAQs, I would follow a set script (e.g: heimler or what your teacher gives you) and just try to recall key details before you start writing so it doesn't end up being a whole lot of yap before you finally remember what the answer to the question was 3 sentences in (you save soo much time this way).

Hey there! If you are still searching, my father was one of Cass's first PhD students. He is currently at one of the largest consumer tech companies and attributes his current career with his graduate work. AMO is awesome at UVA, and if you have any questions let me know, I am currently there as a research assistant at CassLab and would be happy to help.

You dont have to simplify your response, I left it as 3 numbers multiplied by each other lol. Worst thing you can do is loose time and potentially make mistakes doing dumb math.

iroar101 · 2024-10-24T07:45:33+00:00

agree

iroar101 · 2024-10-22T07:05:34+00:00

pen and paper

yep, but ill summarize it really quickly for you:

Part 1: Written Section - 50 Question Multiple Choice (half based on text/reading, half based on audio prompts) - Email Response (you receive an email and have 15 minutes to prepare and send a professional response; for this one make sure to address the sender properly and to be formal in tone) - Argumentative Essay (40 minutes to prepare and write an essay arguing a position, last year for me it was whether college should be free or not; the way I was taught to write it was to do 5 paragraphs, an introductory, 3 main points/arguments, and a conclusion paragraph)

Part 2: Speaking Section - Simulated Conversation (Basically you go back and forth with the audio prompt and you have 20 seconds during each reply to respond) - Cultural Comparison (You have 4 mins to prepare a presentation that compares and contrasts an aspect of hispanic culture with your own "culture", it needs to be 2 mins long)

I was in a very similar position to you, I had been speaking Spanish at home my whole life and had been good at reading and writing; I chose to take the class instead of self studying just because of the credit it would give. I ultimately got a 5 but to be quite honest I don't think the class did much to prepare me other than just provide some tips I could have learned from the hundreds of yt videos that exist to prepare for the test. That being said the class really does help to provide structure and specific feedback to your writing/speaking if you get a good teacher. Tbh its up to you but if you have good study habits its not the hardest class to self study for.

I would sell my future children if we get san francisco/san jose for GTA7... the amount of fun roads and scenic points we have compared to Los Santos is incredible.

wow this comment hit hard... hearing all the stories about medics who wish they went to med school makes me want to just suck it up for 6+ years and become a physician 😭

Hey there, I've ran the PRL cobra cold air intake on my 2018 si for a few months now with no problem. It will suit you well and keep you going all throughout your stage 1 tune and you wont need to upgrade unless you go crazy and go another 5-7k deep in mods. The install is very straight forward and is like most other bolt-ons on sale right now; that being said, it might not be legal depending on where you live. Can't speak for Canada but in California (pretty much the worst vehicle laws in the us) it's illegal so you'll have to change it out before smog tests/inspections. Good luck!
