"I have found the EMS software from Knightlite to be excellent.
It helps to bring together all of the material found in our textbooks in
an easy to access format. It is an excellent review for continuing education
as well as for preparation for initial and recertification examinations.
You can't go wrong with these programs."

FIVE STAR RATING FROM ZDNET
The Questions - There are over 700 questions in the registered software package spanning 13 chapters. (Internet Version has 201 questions plus all three Reference sections).
User Control - As with all Knightlite Software, our focus has always been on giving the user as many ways to manipulate the questions as possible. We have added many new features to this new version of EMT-I Study Helper, with the sole purpose of making it easier for the user to learn the material. The following are some of the enhancements we have added.
Enhancements:
1) Page References to the Brady text for easy look up of questions. Space on the notes pages to add your own comments, or notes to questions.
2) The ability to search the database for key words. Example - Search for CPR - Returns all the questions which contain the word CPR.
3) Keeps track of your progress three ways. EMT-I has three ways to track your mistakes. In one module you can list questions that you incorrectly answered in the past. Once you answer the question correctly it clears that question from it's memory. The Elephant Memory never forgets your incorrectly answered questions until you clear the memory yourself. This allows you to drill on difficult questions. Once you have mastered these questions you can clear the elephant memory. The third method allows you to take an on-screen test and print out the test results. The results will display all the questions with the answers. Incorrectly answered questions are also displayed showing the correct answer and the answer you selected. You can then print out these results or save the results to a file to open and review later.
4) Save your last session. With a click of the mouse you can return to your previous session to continue taking a test.
5) Wizards that build test packages. With our easy-to-use test package wizard you can create tests which can build test packages that contain the questions, answer sheets, and answer sheet correction keys. These packages can then be saved to disk and opened at a later time to be printed out. They can also be sent over the Internet and opened by another computer. Save or Print Out Results Of You Test. Saves. Records which questions were answered correctly, incorrectly or not at all. Also includes the user's name and address and the starting and stopping times.
6) The ability to create random tests 3 ways. You can create a random test from a single chapter, multiple chapters or the entire test bank can be randomized. We allow you to choose which chapters you wish to include in your test as well a the number of questions you would like asked in the test. The test can them be taken on screen or printed out, complete with answer sheets and answer sheet correction keys. The program gives you the ability to print out tests in a variety of ways.
7) Answer Questions On Screen In A Variety Of Ways. See the correct answer when you click on an answer option, or wait until you have finished taking the test to see your results. Fly through tests using Turbo Answer, or just take your time and really learn the material. You can choose between 4 answering modes.
