I missed one station at practical testing. The NREMT representative at the test site said we could retest after 4 days. But the NREMT website only lists testing sites that are three weeks out. Is there any way to access a list of testing sites sooner than the three week window?
 
FYI, I found a solution. I called some of the upcoming testing locations that are on the NREMT site that are 3 weeks or more out & found a hospital that would let me join their testing this week.
 
Why would you have to retest 1 skill? Just curious.
 
The test is set up with several stations, each being a test. If you don't pass you test the one you missed again. Most fails are due to nerves, I know mine was. It was the first station of the day & I ran out of time, what I wouldn't give for another 5 seconds, lol. :D

some sites allow same day retests.
 
Usually you can retest same day if you not miss one or two stations...any more than that and you have to do the whole thing again.
 
I'm guessing you've never taken the NREMT Psychomotor exam.

No. Taking AEMT this week. It's my understanding that after failing 5 skills you fail the entire exam process. That's why I was asking why would retaking 1 skill matter?

if you fail more than 4 skills you have to redo all of the skill stations. If you fail 4 or less you only have to retest the failed stations. If your site allows same day retests you can do it then. If you still fail you can do another retest at another date. If your site does not do same day retests you have 1 more shot.

hope that helps
 
Thanks for the clarification. I thought the fail 5 was overly generous.
 
There were 28 testers, and they didn't finish the first round of tests until 3:30. So they didn't offer any retests that day.
