PEM practice questions - frequently asked questions

Plain answers about how PEM Exam Prep works: the exam, the questions, pricing, the free trial, and what you actually get.

No - and you should be wary of any site claiming otherwise. Every question here is original, written to mirror the style, difficulty, and judgment the real PEM exam tests. Each one comes with a plain-language explanation of why the right answer is right and the others aren't.

The PEM exam spans 13 domains: Emergency Conditions (32.5% of the exam); Resuscitation (12.5% of the exam); Trauma (17.5% of the exam); Toxicology (5.0% of the exam); Environmental Emergencies (4.0% of the exam); Child Abuse and Maltreatment (4.5% of the exam); Behavioral Health Conditions and Psychosocial Issues (5.0% of the exam); Special Populations (3.0% of the exam); Procedures (6.0% of the exam); Disaster Preparedness (2.0% of the exam); Emergency Medical Services and Transport (2.0% of the exam); Emergency Department Administration and Operations (2.0% of the exam); Core Knowledge in Scholarly Activities (4.0% of the exam). Every practice question on this site is tagged to one of these domains.

The domains are not weighted equally on the exam. By share of the marks: Emergency Conditions 32.5%; Trauma 17.5%; Resuscitation 12.5%; Procedures 6.0%; Toxicology 5.0%; Behavioral Health Conditions and Psychosocial Issues 5.0%; Child Abuse and Maltreatment 4.5%; Environmental Emergencies 4.0%; Core Knowledge in Scholarly Activities 4.0%; Special Populations 3.0%; Disaster Preparedness 2.0%; Emergency Medical Services and Transport 2.0%; Emergency Department Administration and Operations 2.0%.
