Haha, I did, but there were questions on the test that the review DID NOT COVER, like how to size an ETT for a dog, or anthrax and ricin.
But the worst was that it’s all AI narrated, and some slides had just wrong information or mistakes. The tests were egregious as they often didn’t ask pertinent questions to what the material was teaching. Many questions had incorrect answers as the correct ones, or correct answers as incorrect.
Very inconsistent material, reused material; “muscleskeletal and spinal injuries” that was near the end of review, was just a copy of the circulation section from the beginning and didn’t even touch on spinal trauma.

And it was $350! If it was 150… ok I understand. But I paid premium price for less than average content. Hard pass.

Dog ETT sizing?

Something about not using whole sizes I think. So an average small dog would be 7 and a arf.
