I came looking for this answer well before I went through the process. I asked around a lot. I'm just posting my experience, to help anyone that may benefit.
I took the written a couple of weeks ago. It was entry level paramedic knowledge. You have nothing to worry about if you read your books and paid attention in class. This test was easier than the Illinois state paramedic test in my opinion, maybe because it was less the half the amount of questions for me. But don't worry, it's not bad.
I took the practical today. It's unnerving to to look at those practical check off sheets. There are so many things, and it freaks you out. I looked them over a couple of times before I went, but I didn't even think about those sheets in the stations. I just said to myself, do what you'd normally do, you know this, you learned it. And I passed the first time, and didn't require any retakes. I can't guarantee the same results for you, but that was my experience. At the risk of being totally disagreed with, I would almost argue against looking those sheets over right before and during the practical. Just go in there and do what you know how to do. You'll do great.
Where I'm from, people don't take the registry. It's not required, and most people don't find it worthwhile. I personally just wanted it. Anyways, just sharing the info...
