You're in my class. I got an 80 on both. But how do you know what the national average or national standard deviation was?

like others said... BRS/HY and just look over First Aid

if anyone gives you tips on what to focus on, ignore it. The shelves change every year so something that is emphasized one year won't be emphasized the following. If you knew your information well during the class, you shouldn't have a problem doing well

They may change every year, but I have found the "High Yield" sections of Pre-test incredibly enlightening on every shelf I have taken thus far (3).

Look through those sections and know them cold, it's like 10-15 pages or something so if you don't have a copy borrow one off somebody for an hour.
 
well high yields such as those in the preface of pre-test, FA, and HY books fall under the book sections. I was referring to the advice where people say "focus on this xyz because it was heavily emphasized when I took it"
