Ok so im taking my EMT-Basic test in Massachusetts and i need some help studying for it.?

Ok so im taking my EMT-Basic test in Massachusetts and i need some help studying for it. I moved to Massachusetts from Pennsylvania in December and Im a Certified EMT in PA and i want to become one in Massachusetts. I did all the paper work and im allowed to take the EMT-Basic test three times, i took it once just to get a feel for it, i failed it by like 8 points, i got a 62, i needed a 70.
So does anyone know any good websites where i can find some info on MA EMT protocals, PA EMTs do things differently and so i was trained differently.
When i took MA test the first time, it seemed to go indepth in some of the questions about cardiac and respitory issues. And it asked some weird Non-EMT/MEdical questions.
And if anyone can tell me any local Ambulance companies around the Lowell/Northern Boston Area that would be great. Thanks
Answer:
Are you taking a MA test or the National Registry. Probably the same tips apply to them both, but I am not sure about the MA tests. (I'm from Colorado). For National Registry, remember that they will often try to trick you. They are looking for the "best" answer, not necessarily the correct answer. Make sure you read all of the answers and don't just mark the first one that seems right. Often, a better answer will be available.

As to web sites, I am not sure of any. NR closely guards their test questions. They even have a warning that you can lose your card if you even memorize some of the questions. If there are specific areas that you had problems with, i.e cardiac or pediatrics, see if your instructor can get you a list of prepratory questions. He may have to make them up, but they will probably be close to many of the questions you see on the test.

Hope this helps, and good luck.
