CONGRATS, Have fun.

I took the Paramedic exam for the 3rd time....stopped at 131...and passed! So 131 is my new lucky number.

Fresh from the national registry exam center

Each person is assigned a number between 55 and 200 as soon as they sign in for the test.

The number assigned is the number of questions that you have to answer before the test ends.

You may have to answer upwards of 140 questions or as little as 55 questions. Once you hit that magic number your test immediately ends.

The number of questions you get stopped at has no direct bearing on your pass or fail chance.

Good luck

I took the EMT-B test on Saturday and passed. The test stopped after 73 questions.

Ruffems' post indicating the number of questions is predetermined when the test is launched sounds plausible, but it makes me wonder how adaptive the test could be if you get stopped at 55 questions.

It seems the chance for a statistical anomaly would be greater, especially with a small number of test questions.

I'm sure Pearson's Witch Doctors (err.... Statisticians) have it figured out, but it's beyond me. Just happy I passed!

Sweet. :thumbright:

So, you'll be starting paramedic school pre-requisites in the summer, right?
