EKG practice test with live rhythm strips and 12-lead tracings.
Practise EKG interpretation on animated rhythm strips and 12-lead tracings: timed rhythm recognition, transcutaneous pacing, defibrillation and full megacode scenarios inside RescueEM's ECG Tutor.
Animated rhythm strips
Live monitor rhythms that move like the real thing, not static textbook images — you read rate, regularity, P waves and QRS width under time pressure.
- Adjustable rate and artefact
- Lead II monitor view
- Instant answer breakdown
12-lead viewer
Full 12-lead tracings with axis, intervals and territory mapping so you can call STEMI mimics, blocks and ischaemic patterns confidently.
- Territory highlighting
- Axis & interval readout
- Pattern-by-pattern teaching
Pacing & defibrillation
Practise transcutaneous pacing capture, synchronised cardioversion and defibrillation energy choices in a safe simulated console.
- Capture thresholds
- Sync vs unsync decisions
- Energy selection drills
Timed rhythm recognition
Exam-style timed rounds that score speed and accuracy, the two things every board station and real resuscitation actually tests.
- Speed + accuracy scoring
- Weak-rhythm tracking
- Repeatable rounds
Megacode scenarios
Full arrest scenarios that run from first rhythm to ROSC or termination, with a debrief of every decision you made.
- Shockable vs non-shockable paths
- Drug timing
- Structured debrief
Backed by the question bank
Every rhythm links back to cardiology chapters, MCQs, case simulations and summaries in the main RescueEM library.
- 4,000+ exam-style MCQs
- Case simulations
- Spaced-repetition review

Frequently asked
- Is the EKG practice free?
- Every new account gets a free first month with full access to the ECG Tutor and the rest of the library. After that, Pro is $10/month and the Student & Resident plan is $6/month.
- Is this an ACLS or certification course?
- No. RescueEM is exam-preparation and revision material. It is not a certification provider and must not be used for patient care.
- Does it work on a phone?
- Yes. The rhythm monitor, 12-lead viewer and timed rounds all run in a mobile browser, so you can drill between shifts.
