rocked the first test

Yesterday was the first exam for paramedic school. I got one of the top scores in class. Slowing down and reading each question (and picking the best answer, not the first one I thought was "close") helped a ton. On almost every test in my Basic class I'd hurry through and lose 4-5 points to rushing. All those practice tests for the Basic National Registry improved my test taking by a fair margin.

After that we took the ALS post test(not graded). We were supposed to answer everything we could, but no guessing. I got a 44/100, which, considering we're on chapter 2, is fantastic. I got kind of lucky, since there was a question on Vasopressin (which I just read about, thanks Medicscribe! ) and a few questions about Cushing's Triad, which I knew all about since I diagnosed a friend and rushed him to the hospital a couple months ago (long story, golf ball sized mass in his head). I'm super happy with my score on that.

Onward to A&P, studying all day (and all week).
