Took the NREMT P yesterday in order to re certify. Don't let it lapse and especially don't let it lapse over two years. Anyway, I passed around 110-120 questions ? I don't remember the exact number. I used a phone app to study. Whenever I wasn't running calls I'd have my app open on the ambulance. I prepped for about 2 days off and on. The first time I took it out of school I passed around 80. Oh well.

Doesn't matter what number at the end of the day you still have the same cert as everyone else! Congrats!

Took the NREMT Paramedic today. Stopped at 85 questions and passed. I felt like 50-50 on if I passed or not..walking out at first I was like 80% sure I passed, then I started thinking about the fact that I got soooo many cardiac questions..did I fail cardiac?:( I only got like 4 ob/gyn questions and one was like " as the babies head is coming out do you want to...suction the mouth, suction the nose, check for nuchal chord, or guide babies head down..I was like...:eek: (I picked guide the head down-because they never actually said the head came out..I could've got it wrong..guess it doesn't matter now does it)..so yeah thought perhaps I may have failed OB as well..it was my first time taking the exam.

Life Story:
-Took in Fort Wayne, IN @ Pearson @8am, and got results by 3pm

- LOTS of cardiac questions..but very basic ones (I know there's supposedly a ratio of each category but I must have gotten 80% cardiac/medical cardiac related questions about left-sided & right sided failure)

How I prepped (If you've gotta retest--you shouldn't feel shamed --when you pass you'll know WAY more than you would've than if you would've passed this time..one day you'll have a sick patient/transfer and that patient will survive from YOU! kill it!(not the patient-the test :D)):

-JB Learning Navigate (really hard questions, that'll help if you look up the answers you got wrong in your textbook and make flash cards from those), I had 200 questions left in the question bank (I was getting 69% on tests when I first started and got up to 78% on practice exams after 3 weeks of studying 5 hours/day, I got like 60-somethin on the assessment test)'

-EMT-Training.com (great for tricky EKGs w/ explanation-similar strips to what I got on the national registry (they recommend doing 400 questions in each category, I got through about 300 per category)(I was getting the same scores at start and end as with JB learning)

-Fisdap (I literally got like 4-5 questions almost word for word from the Fisdap exams (I did the airway, ob, cardiac, trauma quizzes & final exam)(I was getting 70-80% on these but I took FOREVER to do exams..and looked up every single question that I didn't get)

- Dales Pearls (This was really really good but I didn't want to solely rely on it, but I've heard of classmates using just this and JB learning and passing with 120-150 questions and some people doing the same thing and failing. great but I didn't look at it as much as I could have. I looked at this from time to time but it)

Anything I got wrong or guessed on and got right and/or had NO idea about, I looked up in the index in the back of the paramedic book that the question correlated to. We use the bledsoe book.

EMT-B stopped at 70, won't find out until tomorrow. I know there were some questions that I missed. Not feeling confident.

EMT- B
Honestly don't remember an exact number. I didn't know that it cut off until I got there and the test administrator told me about it. I know I walked away feeling like I had not done very many questions.

Passed first try.

NREMT B 1st time 120; failed. NREMT B 2nd time: 86ish; passed.
NREMT P 1st time somewhere between 68- 80ish; failed. NREMT P 2nd time: 150; passed.

Prime example of why people shouldn't focus so much on what number the test stopped on.

I literally just made an account so I could post this since this forum helped calm me down while I waited for results.

Took my Paramedic test yesterday and it ended on 80 questions. I must say there were some questions in the test that had words I had never even heard before and I left the testing center feeling pretty certain that I epically bombed it. Logged in this morning and I PASSED! To be fair every test I took in Paramedic school that I finished thinking I did terrible on it I ended up doing well. Same was the story for most of my class. So if you leave your exam feeling like I did take heart! You probably did well!

Also for the sake of you EMT-B test takers out there. when I took my EMT-B test 2 years ago I finished at 70 questions. I was also certain that I bombed it at the time but I passed.

Getting ready to take my first NREMT test, I am certified in New Jersey for the past 6 years. When studying I come across a lot of GCS questions and root questions, Can anyone tell me if there are any GCS and root questions on the NREMT test?

Ok so I've been reading these for months figured I might as well post my story...

Took the NREMT the first time and got cut off at 120 questions. Convinced I failed. Found out the same day I passed!

When I moved back home to FL I learned that I order to obtain Florida certification I was going to have to retake the written exam for them. Had I known that before I took the written for just basic NREMT certification, I would have waited and killed 2 birds with one stone. Regardless when I went in the 2nd time to take it, I was HIGHLY confident that I was gonna nail it. Studied a ton and felt so prepared. When I got cut off at 70 questions I was actually happy! I was like wooh glad I didn't have to be brought all the way to the end and the computer is confident that I'm good! Told everyone I was pretty sure I passed.

Next day comes around and I FAILED!!!! Not only did I fail but I ranked "below passing" in 4/5 stations. (Was above passing in cardiac). Anyway was devastated. Studied a lot more and was scared ****less to take it the 3rd time.

Take it a month later, got stopped at 72 questions, possibly got the last question wrong by the way. It was a pregnancy emergency related question. I left crying convinced I failed. Worst 24 hours of my life thinking "I might give up" hahaha! This morning got the news PASSSSSSED. Now I can start my new job. Hope this helps for people freakin out.

OK I am a little confused, When you moved back to Florida you had to take there written exam, even though you have an NREMT license, I have a New Jersey license and am moving to Florida and was told I need to get an NREMT license first and then it will be a matter of paper work just to get the Florida license and that I don't have to take the Florida written test. Can you shed some light on this?
