Miskatonic

I've taken the NR exam 2wice, bought 3 study guides - including the Brady - and finished 2nd in my class on the final. The test is NOT so easy. You know it's sad seeing these older guys in there who've been in EMS for 20 years, having to run through another hoop. They have more to lose than I do, and then you get the exam ...... which is packed nicely with enough vague questions and word trickery to not be a true test of your ability as a medic. I've read on here about possible "fowl play" to work money scams. .. well I know this. It isn't in my nature to fail an exam, and the 2nd time around I studied absurdly. I got the exam and studied the questions and words carefully; and did feel the wording was designed so vaguely that I wanted to kinda laugh a few times. I marked these questions and in the end had just enough to maybe not make it. How funny it is that I read here today- I'm not the only one. Do I feel duped? Well, it's like this. Without being obnoxious, I will just say there are many a noodle in my noggin. Taking these tests has been kinda neat cause I haven't passed them. heh. Passed the ones in class (they had definative answers), and helped lots of people in clinicals; however my instructor hadn't taken the very exam she was readying us for../. Everyone I know that passed it did so barely, and I know some real big thinkers- who agree also it's bogus. The other problem I have is that the tests I took DID include word tricks and didn't leave me feeling satisfied for the test of knowledge I payed for. twice... rather (a little) like I've not done the handshake right to get into Tony's gang. heeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyy. 3rd xs a charm.
