The main thing to pay attention to are numbers, abbreviations, and mnemonic devices. Otherwise, you'll spend most of your time watching videos of hokey mock situations.

Well it's not difficult.

Unless the whole time you have your mind wishing you weren't related to your sister so you can have relations with her and not pay attention during class then screw up the test.


But seriously, you might as well pay utmost attention since it's serious and potential life saving tool for whoever you care about.

it's really basic stuff. I was certified in the past, some stuff has changed, are you going through Red Cross? They made it very simple. I haven't really heard of anyone trying to get it and NOT getting it. Just know you aren't going to be an EMT/Doctor/Nurse, etc..

pay attention.. its not hard stuff, but you just gotta memorize a few things. Since I was first certified, the "official" method has changed three times. h:
