Becoming an EMT-Basic has never before been more challenging. Knightlite Software helps EMT-Basic students meet that challenge, with our easy-to-use Signal 18 EMT-Basic Study Helper. Walk into that written test with confidence!
Based On Brady's Emergency Care 10th Edition, Signal 18 EMT-Basic Study Helper is a Flashcard/Multiple-Choice Test for EMT Basic students, and practicing EMTs, based on the National Curriculum. Tests can be taken on-screen or can be printed out in a variety of ways.
The Questions - There are 1500 in the registered software package spanning 25 chapters. Plus a Terminology section containing over 750 EMS root words, suffixes, prefixes, definitions.
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 many features included in EMT-Basic 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 Brady's Emergency Care 10th Edition for easy look up of questions. Space on the notes pages to add your own comments, hints, or notes to questions.
2) The ability to search the database for key words. Example - Search for Airway - Returns all the questions which contain the word Airway.
3) Keeps track of your progress three ways. EMT-Basic Study Helper has three ways to track your mistakes.
A) 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.
B) 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.
C) 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.
Create Custom Test Packages That Can Be Saved To Disk Or Printed Out.
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 using Knightlite Software. Save or Print Out Results Of Your Test. 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.
Create Random Tests By Selecting The Chapters And The Number Of Questions You Would Like Included In Your Test.
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 as the number of questions you would like asked in the test. The test can then be taken on screen or printed out, complete with answer sheets and answer sheet correction keys. EMT-B Study Helper 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.
Terminology Library
8) Terminology Section Of EMT-Basic Terminology - Easily look up medical terminology using our new reference section. Print out the entire glossary and hand it out to students, or create printed terminology quizzes; either by straight definition or "Jeopardy" style.
Edit your definition library, and add hundreds of more words.
9) NEW - Highlight And Search Feature: The Highlight And Search Feature lets you highlight selected words or phrases within our question database, then click on the library button on the toolbar, and EMT-Basic Study Helper will take you to our "Terminology Section" where it will display the definition for the word. If the highlighted word is not found in the Terminology Section it will prompt you to add it to the library, if you like. It is a fast, easy way to look up EMT-Basic terminology while in the process of taking a test on-screen.
10) New - Create Flashcards You Can Print Out: Signal 18 - EMT-Basic Study Helper lets you print out flashcards, so you can continue to study when you are away from your computer. Select any test, or create a custom test, then print out flashcards. Save the flashcard file and print them later on another computer. 11) Graphically See Your Improvement: EMT-Basic Study Helper comes with a handy-dandy graphing tool that can keep track of your last 10 test results. Simply select your name from the list box on the "Notes Palette", and click "SAVE RESULTS." Your score will be saved for the test you just completed.
12) Auto-Numbering Of Questions: If you would like to add your own questions to the database, you will appreciate the new auto-numbering feature. It searches for the last number and then assigns the next number in the progression.

* Page References to Brady's Emergency Care 10th are available for almost every question in this software package. There are approximately 34 questions that have no page reference. These questions appeared in earlier versions of this software package, and Knightlite decided they were important enough to leave in, even though the references do not appear in the current Brady text. In addition the American Heart Association has updated the CPR curriculum, and those changes do not appear in the Brady 9th Edition. Knightlite has, however, updated this software program to reflect those changes in the CPR curriculum that affect Rescuer CPR. Those changes are referenced to the American Heart Association's text, BLS For Healthcare Providers, 2001. Signal 18 EMT-Basic contains the most up-to-date CPR information.
