NREMT overall experience

Hey everyone, I passed my NREMT in June, and I wanted to share what worked for me in case it helps ease someone’s nerves or gives a bit of direction.

I got all 120 questions, which honestly shook me. It took about an hour, and I left feeling like I rushed it and regretted not slowing down. I was hoping to get cut off around 70-80, but wasn’t surprised I went the full length.

Here's what my study plan looked like: General advice, once you create your study plan, try not to switch up on it as you go, especially as the test date is getting closer. I followed this rule

Took the test about 3 weeks after my class ended to keep the material fresh.

Studied pretty much daily, taking only 3–4 days off after class.

• Used the Paramedic Coach Video Vault and watched all the BLS videos.
• Purchased Pocket Prep and did all 1,000 questions — twice.
• Averaged 4–5 hours of studying per day, mostly structured around:
• Watching videos
• Taking notes
• Doing practice questions

The second time through Pocket Prep, I focused more on breaking down the questions, identifying key clues, eliminating wrong answers, and picking the best choice.

During your study phase, I recommend

• Use the NREMT study tips on their website to learn more about the test 
• Watch free YouTube videos/ Purchase a paramedic coach if you’d like
• Study daily/ Answer pocket prep daily questions
• Write information down and use ChatGPT to answer your questions 
• Use old study material if on hand

My advice for during the test may sound flawed due to the history I shared, but if I had to take it again, I’d recommend: 

• Take your time!
• Don’t get lost in the question!
• Try to eliminate two of the answers, then decide which answer is most correct
• Stick with your gut
• Answer what the question is asking
• Remember your ABCs 
• If you can use a whiteboard, use it (Testing center dependent) 

This is all that I can kinda overall give/ type out as my experience. I could go into more detail, but it’s all broken up within this post. There is a lot of information out there, so definitely keep researching and learning. I’ll most likely respond to questions for anyone who takes the test soon.
