I just took my lifeguard certification test and failed the whole thing. Any suggestions for when I retake it?

Question

I took the whole course and failed not only the whole test but CPR as well.. I just can't get it and I don't know what to do. Help!

Answer 1

CPR is very simple (although nerve-wracking...). Try counting in your head, and just breathing deeply the whole way through. Don't panic, and don't dwell on it too much if you make a small mistake. In the long run, panicking is just going to make the rest of the CPR process a lot harder.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Talk to your instructor, they may let you take it over. But CPR isn't a hard subject, your freaking yourself out. Remember for adult 30 compressions per 2 breathes. Don't laugh but how I praticed this was I'd use a stuff animal. That really helped me, my little sisters big stuffed dog was the adult and the little stuffed dog was the child.
