When I got mine, my instructor did call me a couple of weeks after the written and told me that I had passed and told some others they had failed. I am not sure if that have access to a listing that we don't or if they get notified as soon as the test are graded. Either way, you can't do anything as an EMT until you get your card, so you will still have to wait the 4-6 weeks anyway if you pass.
