I Searched the forums didn't see it there but here's the story. I have already taken and passed my national and got a job. I have a friend that has taken the national and failed it. Now he needs to re-take it and I was wondering a few things. How many times can you take it? If you don't pass after all those tries what happens? What happens after you fail the first time I heard of this letter.

Thanks
:rolleyes:

I believe you get 3 tries to pass. If you don't pass then you have to take a 24-hour EMT refresher course and then you get 3 more tries. If you still don't pass then you have to go thru the whole EMT class again.
 
Do you have to Pay each time?
 
Yes, you have to pay each time.
 
Ok thanks everyone, He is now PO that he has to pay 70 again LOL
 
As everyone has said, yes you have to pay each and every time. The cost of the tests also stays the same.
 
I had to take it twice as well... The first time it shut me off at 73 ish I knew I had failed I had that feeling.

The second time I took it, it shut me off at 123. A couple of days later I checked and passed :)
