Using a special episode of the podcast 7 Things EMS, we dissect the important things you should do before and during the exam to be fully prepared. <a href="https://limmereducation.com/article/7-things-you-need-to-do-to-pass-the-nremt/">Listen to the whole episode</a> to find out which secrets to success you've been missing. </p> Fri, 14 Jun 2024 21:14:27 UTC https://www.lc-ready.com/posts/47-7_things_you_need_to_do_to_pass_the_nremt https://www.lc-ready.com/posts/47-7_things_you_need_to_do_to_pass_the_nremt How Close am I to Passing the NREMT? <p>This is one of the most common questions we get from people who failed the NREMT. After your test, the NREMT gives you a numerical score and nothing else. What does it mean and how do you proceed? Let's take a few moments to answer this important question.</p> <p><b>Stop Thinking of the NREMT Score as a Percentage</b> <br />A passing NREMT score is 950. The highest possible score is 1500, while the lowest possible is 100.</p> <p>You've been conditioned by classroom exams to think that every test has a clear-cut score with a percentage grade. The NREMT isn't like that. It has a complex algorithm that uses multiple factors to determine the grade. Rather than one simple calculation of right vs wrong, the NREMT has many. Think of it as a soup where question difficulty, topic areas, and question types are the main ingredients. The recipe is adjusted frequently to make sure that it correctly determines entry-level competence. Throw in some serious mathematical analysis and psychometrics (the science of assessment and measurement)and you've got the soup. With a recipe only the NREMT knows and they don't share.</p> <p>What does this mean? It means that interpreting your grade is more than looking at a number. You've got to dig deep and look not only at the score but at how you prepared for the exam.</p> <p><b>What Does My NREMT Score Mean?</b> <br />If we were to give an approximate analysis of a failing NREMT score and we mean approximate it would go like this <a href="https://limmereducation.com/article/how-close-am-i-to-passing-the-nremt/">Read More</a></p> Wed, 12 Jun 2024 00:54:43 UTC https://www.lc-ready.com/posts/46-how_close_am_i_to_passing_the_nremt_ https://www.lc-ready.com/posts/46-how_close_am_i_to_passing_the_nremt_ New NREMT Video! <p><b>NREMT Crash Course: 25 Things to Know Before Taking the Exam</b></p> <p>People raved about our May NREMT review session so we are offering up in a recorded version!

You will find one scenario each AEMT product and two in each Paramedic product. </p> <p>This style of question began appearing on the NREMT's cognitive exam in Spring 2023 and will be in the pilot stage for a while as the NREMT prepares for the elimination of the psychomotor exam. The concept is to test for clinical judgment, leadership, and communication in ALS candidates. </p> <p>Each scenario contains 10-12 questions that run the user through a scenario from En Route to on Scene to Post Scene. After each question, additional information is given. </p> <p>For more information on the ALS Redesign please see: https://www.nremt.org/Document/ALS-Redesign</p> Thu, 01 Jun 2023 15:00:58 UTC https://www.lc-ready.com/posts/44-nremt_performance_scenarios_added_to_als_products https://www.lc-ready.com/posts/44-nremt_performance_scenarios_added_to_als_products Recently Launched CE <p>Be sure to check out the new "CE" tab on the products store!
