Failed my state test :-/


Recommended Posts

I took my EMT state certification test yesterday and was shocked when I saw I did not pass. I was really confident going into it but I was flooded with anxiety during the test. I don't really know where to go from here since I don't personally know anyone who has failed the state test other than me. I'm really bent out of shape from this but hope it works out in the end for me. I have not been able to find info on retesting for it online though and how long I have to wait. If anyone knows any information I would really appreciate it.

First and foremost your Instructor, they can see or may already know your weak points. If they had let you test before they thought you were really ready then shame on them!

However if you did great in class and passed everything just fine then perhaps it was more your anxiety than not knowing what to do. Remember to slow down and take your time, most of the time the student over thinks their response and therefore answers it wrong. Remember to keep it simple and walk through the call as you answer these questions.

You may also benefit from taking the Fisdap comprehensive exam before attempting again. The best part about it is that it doesn't count as an attempt to pass your EMT, tells you what you need to work on and finally the best part is it's only $20! Here's the link. They also have more expensive packages such as the total Assessment Package that offers you even more.
