The following external PALS sites may provide useful references for review. These do not replace the information in your texts or handbooks: 

Heart & Stroke Foundation PALS Online Pre-Course  Self Assessment:

As a new pre-requisite to taking an PALS course, participants must pass this online assessment (70% minimum)The Pre-course Self Assessment helps evaluate knowledge necessary to be successful in the PALS Provider Course and determines the need for additional review and practice. There is no limit to the number of times you can take the Pre-course Self Assessment. Once a score of 70% or higher is achieved, each student must print his or her certificate displayed on the PALS- Student Website. This certificate must be presented to the PALS instructor before a student can take an PALS Provider Course.
