EMT - 70 Questions - Passed

A little more detail because these are questions I was frantically trying to find an answer to after I had taken the test. I took my exam Friday afternoon (started 1:30 PM MST and finished around 2:30 PM MST). My results were posted on the NREMT website around 6:30 AM MST on Monday morning. Huge props to NREMT for pushing out the results so quickly. Huge learning experience for me when it comes to scheduling the exam Friday afternoon. I got the last question wrong. That is what kept me awake the past 48 hours. I was under the impression that once I got enough correct answers or I had so many wrong answers there was no way I could pass the exam the exam would end. To protect the sanctity of the exam I can't discuss what the question was but I was debating between two answers. After the exam, I got my phone back and immediately researched the question and found out that I had chosen the wrong answer.

Took the EMT test today at 11:45est and got the results by 3:00est which I think was outstanding. 120 questions and I passed. I kept hearing that if the test went to 120 it's likely you failed well not so in my case.

I stopped exactly at 72 and passed. I had two friends stop in the 120's and pass. I've been told that once the computer is certain that you've failed/passed most of the questions, it stops. It also gives you questions you shouldn't know haha or questions it wants you to fail.

I failed the first time at around 120 and the next time I passed at 69! Thought I had failed again because it was so low.

My test stopped at 70.... Passed. Took it Saturday around 2pm EST, and got my results this morning around 9am. (Never will I schedule a weekend test again, the anxiety was real.)

I passed with 70. I've heard that if you're getting paramedic based questions on your EMT-B test, that is a GOOD thing. It means you've been answering EMT questions efficiently.

The "paramedic" style questions are more often pilot questions.

Ok so I've been reading these for months figured I might as well post my story...

Took the NREMT the first time and got cut off at 120 questions. Convinced I failed. Found out the same day I passed!

When I moved back home to FL I learned that I order to obtain Florida certification I was going to have to retake the written exam for them. Had I known that before I took the written for just basic NREMT certification, I would have waited and killed 2 birds with one stone. Regardless when I went in the 2nd time to take it, I was HIGHLY confident that I was gonna nail it. Studied a ton and felt so prepared. When I got cut off at 70 questions I was actually happy! I was like wooh glad I didn't have to be brought all the way to the end and the computer is confident that I'm good! Told everyone I was pretty sure I passed.

Next day comes around and I FAILED!!!! Not only did I fail but I ranked "below passing" in 4/5 stations. (Was above passing in cardiac). Anyway was devastated. Studied a lot more and was scared ****less to take it the 3rd time.

Take it a month later, got stopped at 72 questions, possibly got the last question wrong by the way. It was a pregnancy emergency related question. I left crying convinced I failed. Worst 24 hours of my life thinking "I might give up" hahaha! This morning got the news PASSSSSSED. Now I can start my new job. Hope this helps for people freakin out.

Oh and by the way. I had Atleast 3 repeat questions towards the end about the same 2 topics. Literally had me dying. Asked me 3 times how to treat a 2nd degree burn (wet gauze, dry, ointment, water etc). I kept saying dry dressing. And then I got 3 questions on CYSTIC FIBROSIS. 3 questions. That is one condition I NEVER studied. wow. No words. Got a question about oxycodon overdose and cocaine. Got Atleast 3 random pharmaceutical questions (not on typical aspirin nitro glucose stuff), meds I had a hard time even recognizing. And all aside I passed, there is hope!

I finished the test at either 69 or 70 and passed. Not sure which one because I was so focused on the test, and then I clicked next and all of the sudden it was over. At first I was glad... but then I felt horrible. Like I wished I was more prepared for it to end or something lol

Just for information purposes...A "Fun Facts" Thread"!

Would everyone post the number of questions you answered before the test stopped. And post if you passed or failed.

It would be interesting to see, how many answered 70'ish and if they passed or failed. And how many answered 100'ish and if they passed or failed.

Who's got the record for passing with the minimum number of questions answered and the maximum number of questions answered?

Who's got the record for failing with the minimum number of questions answered and the maximum number of questions answered?

Don't listen to anyone saying you got below 90 you passed above 120 you failed. I got 70 questions and failed, and I'm not just ranting because I'm mad I failed, but the way this whole test works is ridiculously stupid. Would of much rather done it on paper and waited the 4-5 weeks. At least then it wasn't adaptive, and if you started failing on the first half, you have a chance to bring your score up the second half.
