It is completely dependent on how many right answers are given.įor instance: an EMT prospect who really knows their material can pass the tests with minimal questions, while someone who is not prepared at all can also fail at 75 questions. Most people taking the exam will fall between the 75 and 140 question allotment. The exam is difficult and many candidates do not pass during the first attempt. Most future EMTs pass the second or third time through. However, it should be noted that the Registry has a three-strikes rule. If a prospect fails the exam three times than they have to repeat the entire class before they will be allowed to retest. The testing fee is also paid every time the EMT takes the test.Ĭonsidering the testing fee ranges from $65 to $110 depending on what level the candidate is testing at, it is advantageous for the person testing to pass the exam the first time through. At the end of this page, there will be resources listed to aid in passing the first time. However, while aids help the best strategy is always diligent studying and learning the material. Treat this exam as if a loved one’s life depends on it because EMS personnel are involved in taking care of someone’s loved ones in real Life or Death situations. Candidates should ask themselves: How qualified do I want an emergency person to be if they were treating my mother or father, brother or sister? The test is serious and the study habits of those taking it should be as well. The second part of the exam is a practical skills evaluation. The purpose of this portion of the exam is to test the knowledge of EMTs to be in simulated real-life scenarios.Ĭandidates should become very familiar with the skill sheets that will be provided during class. Those looking for a sneak peek can find copies of the sheets at the NREMT website. These sheets are for Medical First Responders, EMT-Basics, and EMT-Paramedics. While a number of skills seem overwhelming at first, repetition leads to perfection, and by the time candidates are prepared to take the NREMT Psychomotor portion of the Registry the skills will be like second nature. In the field, EMTs do not have the luxury of thinking about how they should apply oxygen or perform CPR. The training takes over and they just act. The practical examination is meant to simulate real-world scenarios.Ĭandidates that fail the practical portion of the Registry exam only need to retest on the station they failed out on and do not have to retest the CAT (Computer Adaptive Test) portion.
