Our journals are published three times a year. The dreaded National Registry of EMTs (NREMT) cognitive test.Journal of EMS Medicine (J EMS Med JEMSM) is the official peer-reviewed, open-access, journal of the Korean Association of EMS Physicians/Asian Association for Emergency Medical Services. The NREMT test commonly acts as a stumbling block to a lot of careers. Is it really as tough in reality? I guess that would depend on how you are as a test taker. Myth #1 – Non-practicing professionals write the questions Greg Applegate, NREMT’s Chief Science Officer, recently published an article in the Journal of Emergency Medicine (JEMS) to counter the false information that has been spread over the years. This could not be further from the truth. A committee of experienced professionals, brought into the NREMT main office with the goal of writing fair and appropriate questions, write every question. The committee members undergo training where they learn the best practices of question writing. Additionally, officials highly encourage clear, concise questions and ensure no trick questions make the final draft. ![]() The NREMT staff is only present to facilitate the question writing process while remaining neutral to ensure the questions are not biased. Myth #2 – There is more than one correct answer If you would like to get involved in this process, apply! You can see how things really work from the inside. The second myth Applegate is trying to dispel is that there is more than one correct answer for each NREMT test question. This myth will take some time to get past because tests did used to contain more than one true answer. Th industry eliminated this style of questioning because “high-stakes testing” has evolved and developed a set of “best practices” regarding test questions. And providing more than one correct answer simply is not a fair practice. NREMT also hired a psychometrician, someone who specializes in ensuring that the tests are fair and accurate. This role will continuously review the data from the cognitive exams and new test questions to ensure every candidate receives a fair testing experience. This change should put all of the instructors and students at ease, one answer for every question. Too many students washed out of the training programs because they were unable to wrap their minds around picking the “most” correct answer.
