You can pass or fail with 80 questions. You can pass or fail with 70 questions, 100 questions, and 120 questions.

The only way to know for sure is to wait until you get the results.

You probably did fine. Everybody freaks out after the test. Relax.

Relax. I took my NREMT and it shut off after 70 questions. I passed.

Remember the test wants you to pass. You cannot ace the test as it will shut off once you reach the passing threshold.

Good luck, if you know the ABC's and Patient Assessment then you probably did fine.

I took mine on a thursday and found out on monday.

Based on how my fellow classmates did I am confident that you passed. About 80% certain.

They made you wait until Monday? That's rough. Took my medic exam on a Thursday at 1400 and results were posted at 0900 Friday morning.

SAR it's not unusual to feel like you failed that test, whether it be B, I or P, and end up passing it. Best of luck to you, the pressure sucks when you have a job depending on it, I can relate when it came to my Medic test, I was all excited when I found out I passed then I realized that I still have FTO time coming up which is the real hard part.

Or you can go into where you printed your authorization to test letter and you should see your results then.

Let us know.

Also please use proper grammar and punctuation. It is difficult to want to help you.

Seriously? You would not help someone with their question if they had poor grammar? This is a large country and a large world, not everyone knows proper English grammar nor does everyone have the time to type "properly"

I would hope that as a professional you would be more concerned with helping and educating others rather than being the grammar police. It wasn't like he was talking in slang or intentionally being disrespectful.

She did help. Her first sentence answered the OP's question, then she said that it is difficult to want to help someone who does not use proper grammar. As for what a professional is concerned with, all of the professional's I've known are very concerned with grammar and spelling, hence the importance of it on resumes, applications, essays, etc. This is just my two cents. I really don't think that she meant to demean anyone, but this is a professional site.

She said it makes us not want to help him not that we wouldn't. I think it would be more accurate to say that making your post easy to read and concise makes getting an answer far more likely. As someone who tends to play it fast and loose with grammar and spelling myself I won't throw many stones.

P.S. Let's stay on topic going forward :)

I do agree with you about it being easier to understand and whatnot. However her statement took me by surprise. I personally didn't have any issue with his statement.

Anyways I digress, to get this back on topic and moving in the direction intended I am anxious to know how the OP did. Hopefully he will update us with his status.

I'm a "glass is half full" kinda guy. I'm going to say you probably passed. I'm assuming this is for EMT-Basic?

Anyways, I don't think I know anyone who failed after 80 or so questions. You'd have to bomb it seriously to get cut off at 80.

Try to enjoy your weekend and hang in there. Be sure to let us know what happens.
