✨!START HERE ✨! Tips/tricks

Question 1

Sorry for any misspelling in these flashbacks !!
Some were made very late at night !

Remember you gone through the hard part already ( school , finals and prac) finish strong with COPR

Biggest tip for COPR exam is reading the questions carefully the questions are worded tricky so be careful to wording
Also knowing your math formulas few free marks if you know your formulas )

&
ECGS
Drip rates
Map
Orthostatic pressure (S-D)
Parklands ( rule of 9) ( adults/ peds/infants )
GCS (peds/adults infants )
Apgar
Oxygen tanks
Start triage

( if you study well / read the questions you should be fine :)

Question 2

Recommend going over each CPR format
NRB ++
PEARS/PALS
Adult CPR as well as choking

!!!OXYGEN!!!!
( +30/-10 bvm )
( when to use a NRB)
(When to use a NC)

Flowcharts !!!!!!
( the order of which you do things direct pressure before anything for bleeds
ABC’s and C spine before any interventions )
( scene safety above everything)

Question 3

A&P
recommend going over brain, cranial nerves, spinal cord, and abdomen, kidneys plus their functions for anatomy
Don’t go crazy into it

Question 4

Extra resources besides flashcards ( also good flashcards on Quizlet)

cause let’s be honest the Nancy Caroline book is big and I personally don’t learn from reading out of a textbook, with that being said if you’re unsure of a topic or need clarification to get your answers from Nancy Caroline not other Textbooks

Marin’s COPR prep (FREE)

10/10 really good notes for both PCP and ACP

Rescue me tutoring, PCP prep course ( this plus Marin’s course is what I used mostly) is expressive tho around $500 comes with good notes and practice exams that are in the same style as the actual exam . But has a 90%+ average passing using her full PCP course, also has tons of great reviews on her private tutoring sessions that you can do online for around $50) I personally did not use her one on one tutoring, but recommend if you’re struggling as her prep course was great
(I really do have to thank this for how I passed as it was 85% of how I studied)

Master medics ($30)(160$)
Live PCP copr prep, which I did not know about until after it was over( heard good things about it) $160 for 5 days of live review )
Can buy a monthly membership for about $30 have access to the full course I personally did not like the copr prep on the full course ( but did have many classmates that were successful by just using this)

It’s a $700 exam doing a prep course is worth not waiting/paying to rewrite

Question 5

Final tip is to really read the questions once again, they are the type of questions that try to trick you.

You got lots of time 4hrs 200 questions take it slow !

( if you’re the type of person that gets distracted easily, I recommend renting a room at a library it cost me about $40, I thought it was nicer being in a blank room, then being distracted by things in my house)

Honestly, the worst part of copr was waiting for the results everyone I know left feeling awful and ended up passing :)
