I am taking a course in First Aid by the American Red Cross and I need to pass the test on First Aid with a 80%. My teacher said it is 15 questions and I am worried because there is a lot of information. I read the manual but I am not sure if I will remember all of it after all I can only get 4 wrong. Does any one have any tips that has already taken it? What should I focus on? Should I memorize numbers?
Correction: You can only get 3 wrong.
15 * 0.8 = 12

So how does the whole CPR and First Aid classes at the American Red Cross thing work? Like what kinds of things do they teach you? And what does First Aid and CPR certification allow you to do that people without certification cannot?
I applaud your interest in First Aid and CPR. As a paramedic, I have seen first-hand what a difference the general public can make in the survivability of my patients if care is rendered prior to my arrival.
There are two generally accepted organizations that offer CPR/First Aid classes: The Red Cross and the American Heart Association. Either organization will teach you important skills that could someday make a huge difference in someone's life. If you are looking at pursuing a higher level of medical training, I would recommend an American Heart Association course, as they are more often accepted as the standard for healthcare professionals.
Keep in mind that becoming certified in CPR doesn't really "allow" you to do anything more, it simply gives you a better understanding of what to do in an emergency than the untrained person would know. It also doesn't "require" you to act, should an emergency present itself. Many people have the fear that if they learn CPR, then they are required to perform it and perform it correctly if the situation arises. This is not true. However, most people who have received the training would have an ethical responsibility to act, and would act accordingly.
If you're not certain whether or not to take the course, I would strongly encourage you to. I've taught CPR to people who have gone on to save lives with their skill.

Only one in 10 people are capable of performing life-saving cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), according to a recent study by the Australian College for Emergency Medicine.
Red Cross First Aid general manager Viriginia Leafe said the results of the research was startling and should jump-start a lot of people, particularly parents, to update their first-aid training.
“It is everyone’s responsibility to learn CPR, however for anyone supervising children over the summer period, CPR training should be mandatory,” Ms Leafe said.
“In many cases it could be the difference between saving or losing a life.”
Red Cross is urging people to undertake first-aid training and Red Cross has introduced several internet-based learning options.
Perform CPR online is designed to appeal to people working full time, or busy parents caring for children at home who need to master emergency first aid.
The course is designed to teach the knowledge and skills necessary to maintain breathing and circulation in an adult, child or infant following cardiac arrest.
