I travelled 300 miles to take the first EMT I test in 2 years offered by the state of Illinois. After waiting 2 years for the test I had studied for I took a test yhat was based more on difinitive care than emergancy care, had more questions related to corral snake bites than cardiac patients. The State is required by law to have test results back within 30 days.today is day 29 and I still dont have the results. I am pretty sure that I have failed , however I never bothered to learn treatments that would occur in th ER. I beleive that must paramedics would fail this test.
