The NREMT exam is different for each level of EMS work, from basic to intermediate to paramedic. Being able to respond under pressure to questions on the exam is a good first indicator that you will also be able to keep your cool on calls. Do you really want to skate by in your EMS studies, or do you want to feel confident when you’re in the field managing emergencies? One way to know you can handle what’s thrown at you is to nail the NREMT test. Heck, even if your department doesn’t require it, you may feel like you owe it to your patients to bring your “A” game every time you respond to a call. Even if the state doesn’t require EMTs to take the NREMT exam, some smart departments ask their EMS candidates to take it anyway to make sure they know their stuff. Some states do not require the NREMT test, or they only require it to start work as an EMT, waiving it for recertification.
