I took the NREMT on 1/28/13 and got cut off at question 70 and seriously felt like I had failed. I knew I did either really good or really bad! I checked the NREMT page the next morning and noticed I had passed!!!! Phew!!! I didn't want to have to go through that again!
I took it in June of '12 and it stopped after 64 questions and I passed. It literally seemed like every single question was on the same subject, just over and over and over again.
I passed at 73. My questions were mostly asking for a diagnosis. I did not have questions that I thought would test for competency. It was a lot of pt has these vitals what's wrong with him. This was for basic.
Took my EMT-B February 5th.......cut off at 70 questions and finished the test in about 35 minutes. The questions were very basic....nothing on GCS scores, APGAR, rule of nines burn percentages, cardiac definitions.....frankly I was disappointed the exam was so easy. I studied so much, I was ready to flex my mind muscles and show what I had learned.
60 questions, 40 minutes, EMT-B 1up h34r: Not bad for a 50th birthday present to myself I guess :rofl:
I got grilled hard on diabetes S&S, almost all Type-1, and had one cardio question come out of left field that I had to guess at; I'd like to thank this forum for always emphasizing that while algorithms are important knowing underlying systems will save your bacon.
Now onward to Los Angeles / Orange County licenses and to decide what kind of time I can commit and whether to volunteer at a hospital or try to find weekend rides that are buff friendly. Is buff even a term anymore?
Taking the EMT-P tomorrow, I think I could have studied more. OH WELL. I took the basic two years ago. It seems like yesterday, I'm glad this thread is still going. Wish me luck , HAHAHA
71 and passed.
It was funny, because one of my high school resource officers took a class at the same time as me and he took his the week before. He got 72 and passed. I bet him I'd beat him on # of questions, which was a fools bet, since the minimum was 70. Still won though :rofl:
