It is inaccurate and does not sufficiently display the ability of a person to be a paramedic. The reason you think it needs to be harder is because there are bad paramedics. That is because it is inaccurate is displaying the persons abilities, not that it is too easy. This is the only format...

Aside from real world experience in the field. I have my 6 Text books from my class. ECG interpritation book ACLS intervention book Bradys NREMTP review book 2 other NREMTP practice test books Each of my txt books have a CD that I went through with scenerios and tests at the end...

They dont give sounds in 90% of the test questions They dont give you enough info to even begin the thought process. Let alone citical thought process. The situation.... Heres another example of a question similar to what was on registry (not exactly). Called to the scene of a 42yo...

That was just a response to not having any information to answer the question. No I dont expect paramedics to have any of that equipment but some information that is ALWAYS available isnt mentioned in the test. Im not looking for someone to hold my hand. Im not blaming anyone. Im not...

How would you treat protocols? that makes no sense. Protocols are just a basis to build your treatment off of. It eliminates some of the "grey area" for paramedics giving a better idea of whats going on in the short amount of time you have to treat a PT.

And NREMT does? Like they claim themselves NOONE will get the same test. Which means not everyone is tested equally. As for the field testing, that would all have to be figured out ahead of time. It wouldnt just be one 8 hour shift of picking up grandma. It would take longer.

Im here asking for help and people are attacking me and saying I dont know how to be a paramedic. If those people dont have something productive to say, they shouldnt say anything.

Ok..... So the only way you can gather information is from relatives? What about vitals? what about a trauma assessment? What about the PTs surroundings (meds, food, alcohol) All of which are ALWAYS available to you.

Dont assume I dont know what im doing because I havnt passed a rediculous test.

So I take it you didnt have to do 3rd rides or internships to get your license? Not an attack on you but thats how you make it sound. You have to start somewhere. You would have a licnesed medic right next to you to stop you from messing up.

Another thing. Why have a "set in stone" answer test with a "grey area" field your going into?

Any ideas to make it easier other than spending more money on test booklets and dvds? Hurting for cash right now.

Thank you for the adivce. I will look into those websites for sure. The answer would be A if the PT was sexually active. It doesnt tell you if the PT is. My book says Sexually active females with abdominal pain between the ages of 12 and 65 should be assumed pregnant until proven otherwise.

My book says 12-65. More BS involved in this test. They must be sexually active. The question wouldnt tell you if they were or not.

Yes I did say the pracitcal is a joke. No i didnt say it should determine anything. I said A FIELD TEST should be an option. Real life (with another paramedic there of course). Not dummies. Most of being a paramedic isny critical thinking... Its applying protocols. Most of the time...

I am a basic EMT in Michigan and have been for 3 years. I took my paramedic course and passed with a 92%. I have taken the NR medic computerized test twice now and was below passing in all catagories. Both of my tests ended right around the 80 question mark. I have read all of my 7 textbooks...

Good luck man, Im in the same boat.
