Frequently Asked Questions

Who writes the questions?

Every question and explanation is written and peer-reviewed by working EMS instructors. Not contractors, not AI generated. People who teach this material in classrooms, ride trucks, and know what the registry actually tests.

When does it launch?

We're targeting launch later this year on iOS and Android. The waitlist is the front of the line: the earlier you sign up, the earlier you get access. We'll send a heads-up email a week before your launch date so you know exactly when to expect it.

Which certification levels are covered?

At launch: EMT, AEMT, and Paramedic. All three levels are fully mapped to the current NREMT exam domains, with the deepest investment going into Paramedic-level depth.

How does Rounds know when I'm ready for the NREMT?

Rounds tracks your performance across three dimensions: domain mastery (Cardio, Trauma, Airway, and the rest), thinking level (Recall vs. Application vs. Analysis), and topic combinations (where two domains overlap, which is where most students lose points). Your readiness score isn't "questions completed." It's an estimate of how you'd score if you sat for the exam today, updated every quiz. When the score hits target, you know you're actually ready, not just done.

How is Rounds different from Pocket Prep, Medic Tests,
and other NREMT prep apps?

Two things. First, Rounds is built specifically for the post-2024/2025 NREMT, with every new question format (Build a List, Options Box, Drag and Drop, Clinical Judgment Scenarios) included from day one. Many older apps still treat these as bolt-ons or skip them. Second, the readiness model. Most apps tell you what percentage of questions you've completed. Rounds tracks how you actually think (Recall vs. Application vs. Analysis) and where domains intersect, which is where most students lose points. Rounds is free at launch, with paid features coming later for power users who want them.

Can I use it with my classmates?

Yes. The global leaderboard lets you see exactly how you stack up against classmates, friends, and every other student grinding for the same exam. Watching your rank climb (or refusing to let someone pass you) turns solo studying into something you'll actually keep doing.

Will you keep adding new questions?

Yes. The instructor team adds new questions every release and revises older ones as the NREMT evolves. You won't open the app to a stale question bank, and you won't run out before exam day.

What if I find an error or want to flag a question?

Every question has a flag button. Tap it, tell us what's off (wrong answer, outdated protocol, typo, unclear stem), and your note goes straight to the instructor team for review. We respond and update fast. Your feedback is one of the main ways the content gets better.

Do I have to be in school to use it?

No. Rounds is for anyone preparing for the NREMT: current EMS students, refresher candidates, recertifying providers, first-time test takers, retakers. You don't need a course code, an instructor invite, or any school affiliation. Sign up with an email and start.
