Yikes!

I just took the NREMT-P test to recert. Holy cow! There were some really crazy questions....I almost said "WTF!" out loud, but luckily caught myself. I took the written test for my original certification.

Walked out thinking I bombed it. The test shut off at 79 questions and I don't recall any repeat questions.

Will update with results. Oh! And this is my first post after a loooonnngg time lurking. :blink:

P.S. Does anyone out there still carry/use MAST trousers??

Every ambulance in the state of Wyoming is required to carry MAST/PASG pants. I can't remember the last time I saw them used other than to stabilize a pelvic fracture for transport.

And YES, the medic recert test has some off the wall questions.

Let us know how you did!!

I was doing a little research, and the NREMT has revealed at least some data through ~35,000 administrations. It helps to set things straight:

nasemso.org/Meetings/MidYear/documents/margolis.pdf
(it won't let me post URLs, so add www before)

Of the most interesting numbers:

- 70 is the minimum number of questions possible on the exam. If your buddy tells you he passed after 62, 45, or 7 questions, he may be mistaken (or a good story teller).
- Of people who get 70 questions, 81% pass while 19% fail.
- First time pass rates are 72% for the Basic candidate, and 64% for the Paramedic candidate.
- Average test time (regardless of questions) for a Basic exam was 59 minutes.
- Average number of questions for a Basic exam was 94.

I'm sorry but I got 67 questions and passed. And I'm not lying. I thought it was 63 but the report said 67
