I just moved here from NC and I graduated with a 2 yr degree (paramedic). The NR is killin me but that's a separate issue :wacko:. Im in SD and I FAILED the EMTB little test that AMR has :rofl:. Im concerned because Im thinkin I failed cuz of different protocols between NC and CA! Can anyone tell me a site or something that I can go to and study up a little. Thanks.

The AMR test is not state specific. It is supposed to be based on national scope and not focused on any local protocol. As far as I know all AMR operations use the same test nationwide.

The root of your problem may be attitude-oriented.
Also, "because" in lieu of "cuz".
Don't blame failure on different local standards. The AMR EMT test is literally the same as the NR test.
Also, why are you taking the EMT-B test?

Hmmmmm
Please tell me about my attitude 'rocketmedic', I would love to hear what you know about me. Obviously you are fantastic at deciphering shortcut words like 'cuz'. My blame is squarely on me I just would like to know what I can do so I do not fail it again, and it was answered. I just moved here from North Carolina (NC), my National Registry(NR) is coming for medic, and I need a 'foot in the door' kind of job so I can make what little money I can to support my family. I hope that was enough of me to accommodate your curiosity 'rocketmedic'.

Well, someone's got a chip on his shoulder. Have you considered talking to AMR and Hall in Bakersfield and applying as a paramedic? If you have the cert, there is very little reason to work as an EMT.

Alright, let's all take a minute before we post again, and make sure we're not violating Rule #1, Be Polite.
Easy there killer. rocketmedic picked up the same attitude I did, in now both posts of yours.
If you haven't done so, read through a lot of the threads in this forum. You will see that we (the community) expect the use of (somewhat) proper spelling, punctuation and grammar. While there won't be a lot of grammar-police-type posts, the better your posts are written the better the responses will be.
Personally, I wouldn't be :rofl: at the "little test" given by AMR if you can't pass it, even though you graduated with a paramedic degree. My level of training is only MFR, which I originally took back in 1998 (?) and since become an instructor of, and I'm fairly certain I can pass EMT-B with a little cramming right before the test.
With that said, here are two sites that are mentioned here often:

Welcome to EMTLife! I hope that you're able to pass the EMT-B test and are on your way to becoming an active Medic.

Let me be absolutely clear here; the laughing hysterically icon was at ME not the test. I can't even pass the national registry while others around me are passing it the first time. To make matters worse, I can't pass a EMTB test given by a company that has an interest in me. I am a 43 year old married guy with a 6 year old that has moved out of his comfort zone to a place that is foreign to me. If you guys thought that I was showing attitude, well, I was. TOWARDS ME. Thank you for the information, unfortunately its a little too expensive for me right now so I'll make do. I ask to try and have an open mind to my first statement as it is titled frustrated.

From what I understand, AMR does use the same basic written exam that the NREMT uses, or at least follows their lead. If you can pass the NREMT-B exam, you should be able to pass AMR's EMT-B exam. Are you certified as an EMT in California? The reason I ask is because you'll have to also gain that cert if you're to be employed here...
The NREMTP exam is going to be different than anything you've ever taken before because it's computer adaptive. It's going to find where you're weak and hammer that until it's satisfied that you know enough to pass or not.
Something to remember is that in these online forums, it's exactly like written print... you can only infer someone's attitude by what they chose to write and how they chose to respond. You can not directly know someone's attitude like you can in a face to face conversation. Consequently, we read your posts and because of your word choices, it's easy to infer that you've got a chip on your shoulder that perhaps really isn't there. Believe me, I read the same thing that others here did and pretty much came to the same conclusion.
In any event, if you know the national EMTB scope stuff, you should be able to pass AMR's written exam. I've taken the Paramedic version a few years ago... It was very similar to the NREMTP exam I took just a few months to a year before. I can only figure that the EMT version would be similar but at the lower NREMTB level.
Good luck!

Heck I easily passed the NREMT test but later failed the AMR test on my first go around. You do forget stuff, and just because you passed a test once does not mean you will pass it again.
