A few thoughts.

I've watched hundreds of my EMT students graduate and go on to take the NREMT exam. Our class has a first time pass rate above 90%. When a student fails their first run at the test, I am rarely surprised. I can predict which ones are going to struggle. Say what you will, but NREMT does a fairly good job at identifying the student with knowledge deficits.

I have never run a bear attack, but I suspect a bear would inflict trauma.

Our patients will test us every day. The final exam doesn't come from the NR it comes from the patient. We are obligated to test and test rigorously before the student is given the "patient exam" alone in the back of a rig with someone's grandfather.
