Red Cross First Aid

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

Learn first aid fast.

I'm interested in taking the pet first aid class that it offered by the Red Cross. I'm curious to know if it is worth it or if is just like a how to wrap your pet in a towel before you rush him off to the vet kinda thing. I don't know a ton about pet first aid, but I also don't want to spend $32 and 4 hours for nothing.

Definately! Sign up now!

You'll learn all sorts of useful info - CPR on animals, correct bandaging, etc.

It won't be a waste of time! Plus, if you ever want to start pet-sitting, you can use your certification !

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a age limit for the class I listed above.
I am 13 years old , and was in a red cross GuardStart class
(a class that teaches basic first aid / CPR skills and lifeguard skills.)
However the class doesn't certify me. And for people that took the class, any tips?
Thanks :)

My local chapter doesn't have an age limit for that class. I suggest you find our from your local chapter - head to http://www.redcross.org to get contact info.

I have a project due for my First Aid / CPR class and need your help. Here is the assignment;

Research events or times when the Red Cross or someone using
Red Cross techniques have assisted someone in an emergency
situation. Include the Date, location, situation,
and outcome of said event. Write a brief 1 page
write-up of the event. Last paragraph should be a summary of
how you felt about the incident. Would you have
acted in the same manner, or any different? What
obstacles might have been in the way, like checking for
safety, was 911 called? Give me as much detail as
possible pertaining to what happened and the outcome

Thanks to all who can help me

Here are a few survivor stories. Go to this link and click on one of the "survivor stories" on the right:
http://handsonlycpr.eisenberginc.com/sur vivor-stories.html

There is one in those that seems like it would be good because it gives you material for acting in a different manner (the people waited to start CPR):

Good luck!! :)
