This site has live study sessions where most people are in your situation. We go over questions and knowledge each week. There are numerous other items on the site from a review plan to interactive exams and more.
They contain tough questions that will help your knowledge as well as learning the NREMT style question. But the key is how you use it. Many just fly through the exams and then look at their grade.
I want you to look at the rationale when you get a question wrong, then look back at the question and figure out what you missed that would have helped you get the question right. They have helped others in your situation. Perhaps I will see you in office hours soon. Hi Dan! One of the many opinions of medics and Emts that I work with which emts have done 2 to 4 tries and other mostly all the option 6 times.
I see a couple of common threads in your post. Obviously you are discouraged. This affects your perceptions of the exam. It is valid and you have no choice than to take it and pass to become an EMT. It is a valid test and you have to prepare for it, not fight it emotionally and cognitively. This is a shock. It is probably why you feel like it is a paramedic exam. Your education involves more than the book.
You have lectures, labs, ride time, and other things to help bring things together. Try something different. Then you will have three more attempts. Our EMTReview. We have live online study sessions, features to help you read and understand the questions better, and practice exams.
I also advise students to also make sure they have studied and have no learning or attention span issues that may be getting in the way both are common in EMS.
I also recommended coming by ParemedicReview. I hope to see you there. I took a paramedic course back in and completed it. After this due to a loss of confidence, I took a break from taking the test. I then took a refresher course online that the paramedic program themselves created for me and got approved for 3 more tests.
I attempted the test twice more and failed and finally just gave up and did not use my final attempt. I would have to take a paramedic course over again but my question is; Is it worth it? Is there any hope for me of passing? Thanks Mr. Hi Tyler—Yes. You should go back and pass it. You will have two issues after the length of time—knowledge and mojo.
I personally think that mojo will be the bigger issue but even with the refresher course, you may still want to brush up. I would encourage you to work to figure out the issue. You passed your course. It is time to pass the test. You have probably seen my responses before yours in this thread. Please come by my ParamedicReview.
I felt like I knew all the questions this last time I took it. I had been studying my butt off just to not pass again. What should I do? But this 3rd time i did worse than on my previous 2 attempts. I even brain dumped and wrote all my formulas parkland,gcs, heart leads down on the scratch paper before i started the test, sadly no joy. So dan what can i do to better my self before i stress my self out and try this again?
I am sure you will do well there. Good choice. Go there and learn. After three unsuccessful examination attempts, EMT, AEMT, and Paramedic candidates must submit official documentation verifying the completion of a remedial training program. Remedial training is designed to provide candidates additional education and to improve their performance on subsequent examination attempts.
After a remedial training program is complete, the candidate is given additional attempts to pass the examination provided all other requirements for National EMS Certification are met. Candidates who fail to pass the cognitive exam after a total of six attempts attempts are required to complete an entire state approved education program. Candidates who do not complete their cognitive examination prior to the expiration date will be required to complete a new application, including payment of the application fee.
No refunds will be issued for expired Authorizations to Test. The National Registry is committed to a fair and unbiased testing process and follows industry best practices to ensure that all examinations are accurately scored. As a service to the community, the National Registry offers candidates the option to have their examinations rescored by a qualified staff member.
Although it is extremely unlikely an examination was incorrectly scored, the rescoring process allows verification of a score. If a candidate suspects that their score may have been negatively affected by a specific item, or items, delivered on their written examination, they may ask for a review of such item s as part of their rescoring request. Only items identified in the request will be reviewed. For example, if a candidate suspects that an item asking to interpret a lead ECG was outside the scope of practice for the certification level at which they tested, they must indicate that in their rescoring request.
NomadicMedic Pot or Kettle? OK, so maybe I was a jerk with the McDonald's comment, but let me give you some real advice. The national registry test isn't a test like any other you've ever taken, as you've probably already noticed. This is not a test were you can study a set of material and regurgitate answers to fill in the blank.
Instead, the national Registry requires you to have a big bucket of knowledge that you can dip into, coupled with some critical thinking skills, to answer the questions. Passing the test isn't magic or voodoo, it's simply building enough base knowledge to be able to discern the MOST correct answer in the multiple-choice questions. So how do you do that? Studying the book over and over again won't help. Most students simply don't have the discipline or the ability to absorb every single piece of knowledge in that big orange book Using a tutor won't help unless you spend a lot of time and a lot of money digging deep and drilling down on your weak points.
Test prep will test your base knowledge, identify your weak areas, provide you with rationale for the correct answers, and allow you to drill over and over again on those areas where you are weak A test prep service won't give you the answers to the test, but will engage the concept of critical thinking and hopefully impart enough base knowledge in those deficient areas that you should be able to pass the test without difficulty As EMS educators, we do a really good job of making the test seem insurmountable, when really it's basic knowledge that you should have gained during the class.
Get a test prep service. Live the rest of your life. Also, for building and maintaining your knowledge base If you want something different out, you need to put something different in. Trust us, it will be worth it in the end once you pass! What kinds of questions gave you the most trouble? How many questions did you answer before the test shut off?
How much time did you spend on it? How did you approach questions when you felt all the answers were right, or just the opposite, when you felt all the answers were wrong? Realizing what areas on the test you struggled with is step number one in understanding how to better prepare for your next go around.
This will take extra studying and time, but with enough push, drive, and dedication this exam is certainly passable. Our biggest suggestion : Write down every question you can remember, or at least the subject, that gave you trouble on the exam.
Go into your textbook, find the chapter regarding that subject, and review it until you have a better understanding of exactly what the test was asking. When we tell people to go through their textbook, study guides, and EMTprep, we're telling them to surround themselves with the material.
