Post the # your test stopped at, and if you Passed/Failed

[mangles]

Hard

NREMT-P 80# questions PASSED (took about 1 hr) *my second attempt

last year I took the same test, failed in the low 140s

It is the oddest test I have ever taken, questions are either very
easy or random and very difficult, not much in between. For anyone planning on taking it, study test taking strategies.

Hey everyone!

Took my exam yesterday (Basic)...for the 3rd time :wacko:! I took the class in Spring 2006 and slacked off (being a full-time college student), waiting almost a year to take my NR for the first time. In any case...

Around 120 questions..waiting anxiously for my scores to come out....passed

I can't explain if my first two failures are due to my lack of efforts in studying hard enough (waiting a year to take the test and trying to remember some of the minute details)...but I do know one thing that I would like to share with all the basic test takers...

First off...Kaplan sucks

I bought the book as a "review" to refresh my memory on the material which I thought would be sufficient (especially since Kraplan has a pretty good reputation in the market for review material)...the information might have been good to get you through the written exam but is a joke for the computerized test. I failed the first time and thought I didn't study hard enough, so I went back and read through the whole book again in addition to skimming through the book by Mistovich, 7th ed. (which is what we used in class). Still didn't help and failed yet again.

This time...I threw the Kraplan book in the trash...spent about a week in the library with my class textbook, going through most of the chapters and taking notes on important procedures on how to treat "X" issue. In addition to that, thanks to this wonderful website and the posts by all the users, which has great references and resources for the test...for example, using emtb.com for practice. The exam is not going to test you (for the most part) directly on facts (although I did get one question "What does "M" stand for in SAMPLE?"). It is going to test your knowledge in the material and your ability to use that information when you get out into the field and a pt's life is in your hands. Yes, I agree that some of the questions are ridiculous and some lack the info we want to know...but just as other people mentioned, you can almost ALWAYS eliminate two choices and if you're stuck between the other two...always choose the top choice (50/50 chance of getting those questions right)

And about the last question passing theory..I'm not sure if I got the last one right since none of the answers for that question seemed to pertain to what I learned in the book...

Other than that...remember your ABCs

man i wish i had the computer testing when i did mine. i finished the written in 45 minutes and passed first try with a 97. but it took 3 weeks to find out i did though.

Passed!!!!

I took my Registry exam on Thursday, May 22, 2008 and had to wait a LONG 5days to get my test results. When I took my exam, the testing center's internet connection was down, so it wasn't sent until late, plus it was Memorial Day weekend, another delay!!. I was really skeptical on how I did, felt really indifferent about passing. Well, anyhow, I made it up to around 125 questions and found out today that I have indeed passed and now an EMT-B. I stressed myself out the last 5 days and now I feel a sense of relief. ^_^

And now you get a wicked sweet patch and certificate.

Passed!

I took my exam today, and about 5 hours later I received the results.

ended on 69 questions, passed.

I knew the last question I received was correct, so I had a decent feeling that I passed.

I'm taking the national test tomorrow (only state certified right now.) I was pretty nervous about this prospect, even having already passed the state cert, because I assumed national would be tougher.

It appears by what everyone is saying, it's not that hard. I'm hoping it ends at around the 70 mark, because if it goes to 100+ I'm going to be s**ting bricks.

I'm just that dork that wants a patch on each arm and a pretty certificate.

 

[mikeylikesit]

Don't worry it's only hard if you don't know what your doing. you either know it or you don't.

Well, I'm boned.

Kidding... I got a 92% average on the state test. I think I'll be able to pass this.

Nice. Very nice. Hope to be there one day soon. I'm in the degree program right now, so I JUST got my EMT-B and have had less than a month with it yet, and am working on EMT-E and EMT-I right now (in class typing this.)

I am getting so much info right now... I think they are just starting to make up words.

I think they are just starting to make up words.

giggle - I hear ya.. when I started A & P I couldnt believe I had lived this long so ignorant. It's a trip! Good luck to you.

Ok... Why did this get censored? I said that I was in the college room (can't say "C-L-A-S-S" apparently) as I was posting. What was wrong with that?

Put a space after the "cl" in cla_ss. The filter wins this thread.

Yeah, because even the word "pa_ss" got censored in the freaking title.

 

[JPINFV]

There áre wáys to páss through the filter.

 

[PapaBear434]

Well, I JUST got back from my test. It ended at exactly 70 questions. No more, no less. 70 on the button.

Let's hope that was a good sign.

Well, it's official! 70 questions on the dot is all you need to pass!

Now I'll be a big dork and have a patch on each arm. Won't I be cool!?
