Once you submit all your answers print off the confirmation form. It will list the correct answer and what you picked. Then go to http://skillstat.com/Flash/ECGSim531.html to see the actual strips and what the numbers (PRI, QRS, P wave, Regularity etc..) looks like. You can also "freeze" the ECG strip and that will add graph lines to the ECG.
