Not to call BS, but if you took NREMT, it just isn't POSSIBLE to only get 40 questions. It IS possible to loose track of your number, though. :)

What do you mean, not to call BS... You're obviously doing it.. 26 minutes into the exam question number 40- I answered it & the screen turns to "You have completed the exam....etc." I'm not a BSer.. It's obviously possible if it happened to me and I received my certificate in the mail 4 days later.. :)

The test is adaptive, 8 categories, five questions per category. If you got them all right the computer would decide with 95% certainty you meet the minimum standards. ,40 is enough to pass.

Uhm, no. Direct quote from NREMT website:

As mentioned before the length of a CAT exam is variable. Sometimes a candidate can demonstrate a level of competency in as few as 60 test items.

Also, there are six categories:

"NREMT computer based exams are constructed to ensure that each candidate receives a distribution of items from six major categories: Airway & Breathing, Cardiology, Medical, Trauma, OB/Gyn/Peds, and Operations."

As I said. 40 isn't possible.

26 minutes. That's possible. I did my recert last year as recert-by-exam. Cut off at 80 questions (minimum) and I think I was out the door ~30 minutes after starting, and I wasn't trying to go fast. For some reason, the test got easier the 2nd time!
