I took the exam just this last week. It stopped after 70 questions and I left, feeling unsure of how I did. I was prepared for it to take the entire two hours. I passed; in fact most of our 30 graduates have passed the first time so far. (Baldy View ROP EMT program, Ontario, California. BEST experience! I really recommend it.)
Took it at 2:45 pm yesterday. Test stopped at 70 questions after 45 minutes.
I had a love/hate relationship with it. I hate the way it's formatted to basically MAKE you feel like you have no idea what you're doing. I had the highest grade in my class last summer and passed my state certification exam with no problems whatsoever. I know the material down the the littlest details, and yet, due to the way the questions and answers are formatted, I almost never knew with any degree of certainty that I got an answer right. Out of all 70 questions, there were maybe 6 that were 'cut-and-dried' where I knew without any shadow of a doubt that I answered them correctly.
Like many of you said, I left very unsure of how I did. I hated that feeling, but I respect it completely. This is often how we're going to feel in the field. In real life situations, you rarely can do something 'by the textbook'. There are a lot of grey areas, and in many situations we're going to be left unsure.
Another thing is that I was asked the same question twice, just worded differently on two different occasions.. I was like, well, I sure hope I answered it correctly the first time or else that's 4 wrong answers...
Anyhow, I logged onto the NREMT website this morning and... I passed!
