I did my practicals back in january as well and the biggest thing as you know is practice! Sometimes I stayed after class was over and worked on my skills and especially intubation. Try practicing at home with a buddy or sibling. Have your mom and dad drill you over the skill sheets. I passed...

The whole thing, IMO, is designed to test your cognitive ability. You're tested on how well you know the material and your ability to retain the information. Also, how well you take tests is a factor.

When you sign up to take the CBT offeredw by the NREMT they have to verify from the specific institution that you have passed the practical skills portion before you're allowed to test. That's when they issue a certificate to test letter to you.

On my second attempt I got booted off at question 74 and failed.

I did all of my practicals at the school before I took the class final and the NREMT.

Yeah that sounds like a zaney question. I had a few, but I can't remember what they were. I'm just glad I passed.

Any update on your situation? Did you contact the NREMT yet?

I beleive in Ohio you have to pass NR to get your state card. Once you pass NR then you have to contact the state and they mail you a card. I'm actually in the process right now. But I know a lot of guys who run full time with fire departments who only renew their state card. My older brother is...

Thanks Jango! The funny thing is, all of my certs are for Ohio. But hey at least you can't come out to my neck of the woods and kick my @$$ now. So good thing I passed this time.

Thanks a lot Tom. I'm not gonna lie, I put in A LOT of hours studying for this thing and didn't stop until I had it. Thanks for the support.

Well finally on my third attempt at the Basic level cert, after question 121, I PASSED.

Study up, and keep going over it. Practice. I'm sure you'll get it on the second round. Good luck to you! Let us know how it goes!

Sorry it's taken so long for me to get back with everyone. I've been celebrating today... I PASSED! Thanks to everyone who provided great studying materials, books, tips, etc. If you put the time in honestly, read every question and answer COMPLETELY then you CAN pass. The test actually kicked...

Well took it this time and got kicked off after question 121. My last question was an OB question which I'm sure I got right. I remember the question coming straight out of my course text book. So...i'll be having trouble sleeping tonight and hoping and praying that I passed.

Here we go... Well I'm about to head in for my third attempt. I must say I feel better than I did the last two times and I've studied much harder, and have done a lot more to prepare myself. Thanks for the support from everyone and I'll let ya'll know how it goes tomorrow. I hope I get it this...
