Third on Car
Your ride along for every exam!
This page is for students preparing for Primary Care Paramedic entry-to-practice exams in Canada. In many provinces that exam is the COPR PCP exam. Confirm the exam your province uses with your regulator. COPR, not Third on Car, sets the rules, the dates and the exam itself.
Third on Car is exam prep you can use alongside your program. You can work through lectures, practise questions, review cards and sit a custom timed practice exam when you want a clock on the work. It is a study aid. It is not the COPR exam, and it is not a substitute for your classes, your lab time or your preceptorship.
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.
Start with a topic from your program. Read or listen to the lecture and the summary. Quiz yourself in the question bank and actually read the explanation when you miss one. Use the flashcards, ECG strips and drug cards for the facts that need repetition. When you want to see how you do under a clock, run a custom timed practice exam, then go back to the topics your accuracy is weak on.
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 PCP CPCF candidates stated: "The COPR Primary Care Paramedic (PCP) Examination is based on the Canadian Paramedic Competence Framework (CPCF) for PCPs. Candidates can apply for the PCP CPCF Examination even if they were educated to the National Occupational Competency Profile (NOCP)."
