EMT-Basic in January 2011 and it cut off at 71. I passed but my instructor and I were both iffy if I actually passed due to it being so close to 70. (I am quick to doubt my test scores). It took me about an 1 hour including check in.
Lol I dont think anyone one felt comfortable afterwards, mine stopped at 70 and all i could think was did i mess up so bad that it didn't give me extra questions or did I actually pass... I did pass if you were wondering =D
Took Basic in Feb 2010 69 question and passed.
Took I-85 July 2011, 120 and passed.
Do youself a BIG favor and do not test on a Friday afternoon or Saturday, it will end up being the longest weekend of your life waiting for Monday morning to get your results.
Just joined the forum guys. Just found out I passed about ten minutes ago. Failed the first two times, Top of my class with a 97 overall but my class didn't prepare me for what I saw on the national registry. No excuse I hit the books super hard for the my third time with the use of a couple sites and the test stopped me at 67 yeasterday. I was surprised it stopped so quick but I went home and started remembering some of the questions I went over and that I knew that I got a lot of them right.
Got a crapload of OB/Peds, Trauma and a lot to do with geriatrics. My advice to those on their third try like I was is to REALLY hit the books. I used the brady 11th edition book with the study guide and emtprep and jblearning sites. I studied daily for a few months and used a crapload of flashcards. I also remember all the rates respirations,pulse,bp, and stuff like the gcs and as soon as they gave me the dry erase pen and paper I wrote them all down so I didn't have to stress remembering on the fly yet. Job here I come and Paramedic school your next!
60 something, thought for sure I failed it. Felt very comfortable with all the sections but the majority of the test seemed to be peds for me. Maybe my weak spot I suppose.
