Third on Car
Your ride along for every exam!
This page is for students preparing for Emergency Medical Responder entry-to-practice exams in Canada. In several provinces that exam is the COPR EMR exam. Confirm the exam your province uses with your regulator. COPR, not Third on Car, sets the rules, the dates and the exam itself.
Canadian EMR exams are not the same as the US NREMT EMR exam. If you are studying for a Canadian EMR exam, use Canadian materials and check the official COPR pages for the current framework.
Third on Car is exam prep you can use alongside your program: lectures, practice questions, cards and custom timed practice exams. It is a study aid. It is not the COPR exam, and it is not a substitute for your classes or your practical training.
You get lectures and summaries, a question bank with explanations, flashcards, ECG strips and drug cards, custom timed practice exams, a notebook, and streaks and accuracy by course and topic. Spaced repetition is built in, so material you miss comes back. Pages you have already visited also work offline.
If you are on Pro, you can record a lecture for up to six hours a month and get audio reviews and podcasts made from those recordings. Pulse is an AI tutor that can help you work through a question you got wrong. Pulse is an AI-generated mascot, not a real paramedic.
A custom timed practice exam is a practice exam you set a time for. It is not a COPR exam, and it is not a substitute for the official preparatory tests on the COPR site.
Work through one topic at a time. Read or listen to the lecture and the summary, then do questions and read the explanations. Use the flashcards, ECG strips and drug cards for the pieces that need repetition. When you want a clock on the work, run a custom timed practice exam and go back to the topics where your accuracy is weak.
If a question still does not make sense, ask Pulse. Pulse is an AI-generated mascot, not a real paramedic. Keep a notebook of the points you want to return to. If you are on Pro, you can record a class lecture and review it later as notes or audio.
Use COPR's own pages for anything about the exam itself: eligibility, format, study guides, blueprints, proctoring and official preparatory tests. Those pages are the authority, and they are updated by COPR.
On 13 November 2026, COPR's preparing page for EMR CPCF candidates stated: "The COPR Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) Examination is based on the Canadian Paramedic Competence Framework (CPCF) for EMRs. Candidates can apply for the EMR CPCF Examination even if they were educated to the National Occupational Competency Profile (NOCP)."
