I came across this old Reddit post that contains a EMS student plight with passing the NREMT exam:
“The program I went through claimed they were second best in the state. So maybe I'm just not smart enough to work in ems. I passed the class easily, worked my ass off at it and felt like I know the material. NREMT time comes around and I bomb the first attempt. Wait 3 weeks, studying more that whole time and go at it again. Got my results this morning, FAILED. Below passing in cardiology, airway. Above passing in obgyn, near passing in the others. I've always wanted to be a FF/Medic but maybe I'm not cut out for it. I know this test isn't supposed to be this difficult. I don't know what to do anymore. I used fisdap.net and emtprep.com to study along with my textbook. Am I just not smart enough?”

Our answer is YES, YOU ARE SMART ENOUGH! DO NOT GIVE UP! This student may not have found the right study platform. Our computer adaptive testing (CAT) simulator delivers tailored tests in "real time" based on the test taker’s responses (correct or incorrect). It exactly mimics the NREMT exam format! Test construction can be either comprehensive or topic driven. EMSTesting.com presents questions in a logical manner based on responses given by the participant taking their test. At the end of the testing experience this unique online program delivers instant reporting on the student’s overall performance and comparisons to other students of similar background. There is no other testing platform like it.
Answers and rationale are not given, as this is a summative test designed to mimic National Registry. However, detailed reporting is provided, and specific feedback can be provided by an I/C if the student’s institution utilizes EMSTesting.com for their program. This reporting and feedback can help identify a student’s strong areas so they can better put study efforts towards weaker topic areas.
