Thanks. I will test this Thursday for NY State. I have noticed many people here take the National Test. Can anyone explain the difference between the NY State test and the National? (in terms of difficulty).
We took our written test tonight. I am at a loss for words. Throughout class, I have usually scored in the 90's. My instructor was tough, but very thorough. I learned a great deal about the human body from him. I can't say enough about his methods of teaching.
Unfortunately, the state test had nothing to do with what he taught us for the past six months. The entire class was disappointed with the exam. The questions were either one sentence, or at most two. No scenario's on cardiac, respiratory, nothing reflecting our state protocols. The questions gave no details, and the answers were conflicting. Silly! I think they attempted to dumb it down, but didn't know how to.
Long story short, the state recently canned the agency that developed the questions, we were the class of guinea pigs... Anyone taking the NYS written..beware!
