Wow, I don't know if I passed the CBT or not. The test stopped when I was in the mid-70's as far as the number of questions go. I did not feel good coming out of the exam room. Although, my teacher had warned us that we would come out of the exam thinking we may have failed. That is where I am right now. I took the test friday evening and the results are not posted on the NREMT site yet. I understand the number of questions you have is based on the answers you give. With my test stopping in the 70's, either I did really bad or OK. I am nervously awaiting my results. From everyone's postings here, I understand I may not be able to see my results on the NREMT-P site until Monday. I hope I passed.....

I will be taking my NREMT-P computer exam on the 12th of September. I have been studying exam prep books that have practice test questions.

:D/ I PASSED MY EMT-P TRAUMA RETEST! Thanks everyone, The counting to 10 worked. vicky

Hi Guys, Thank you so much for the tips! I am retesting next friday.

Thanks everyone! I am a old cardiac tech that jumped into the bridge class to P. Because the class started from the basics over a year ago, they were not really practicing practicals when I entered the program in the last 4 and a half months. I did what I would normally do (I run by myself with a driver only) and I know I didn't take advantage of my other available crew members during the scenario. Like, I took manual c-spine control immediately and did a quick head assessment while evaluating the airway. I measured for the c:collar, etc. and requested placement of the collar and I waited until the evaluator told me the collar had been applied. My patient's lung sounds improved after I applied occlusive dressings and I didn't decompress; there was also no tracheal deviation. But, all of this doesn't really matter. I do need to memorize the skill sheet and just do what you guys are saying....just relax and do an "organized" assessment....I know I went off track a couple of times due to something diverting my attention and had to waste time recovering stuff. I had calmed down for the other practicals and passed them with no problems.

You are most correct! I guess I really don't care what the possibilities are. My practice practicals in my paramedic class went fine and I passed all of them. This was my first station and I was really stressed.

Was I supposed to decompress on this scenario...I know I didn't. What are the other possible scenarios?

Thanks, That is the scenario I had. I don't remember if I asked about heavy bleeding. I covered both wounds with an occlusive dressing. I believe I went over on time. When I said I was done, he asked me if there was anything else I wanted to do and I panicked....I rewent over stuff in my head and mumbling to myself before I said Yes, I am finished. I think my assessment may have been disjointed too.

Hi, I have not registered for my computer exam yet. How long did it take you to take the test?

[/font:7b76cf402c] Hi everyone, I am new here. I took my national registry practical yesterday and passed everything except for the trauma assessment station. I am not sure what I did wrong. Does anyone have any advice or comments on their practical. I do get to retest (first time); but not for another 3 weeks (next available testing site). thank you in advance
