LearningExpress Library Complete and PrepStep Academic
Select "Career Preparation", then "Prepare for Emergency Medical Services and Firefighting Exams". Exams are available for EMT and Paramedic certification. There are both practice tests and books. You must create a free account with Learning Express to access the tests and books.

Some of these are free; others start out free but require in app purchases for the full set of questions or practice exams.

EMT National Training
Take an exam that will simulate the NREMT exam delivery. This simulation will be timed based on your level of testing. It will also deliver questions one at a time just as the NREMT exam does. This exam is not adaptive, but will deliver the exact same percentages of questions per category as the real NREMT exam.
NREMT Practice Test
Use our NREMT practice test to prepare for your upcoming EMT test. Our test is completely free and includes detailed answer explanations to help you understand complex concepts.

Taking our EMT practice test will help you become more familiar with the actual exam and narrow down your studies to the areas you need to focus on.
EMT PASS
The mobile and web-based EMT PASS app is the result of a collaboration with Bill Brown, the former Executive Director of the NREMT. It will change how you prep for your certification exam and increase the chance you’ll pass the NREMT the first time.
