What is the NREMT passing score?

The NREMT exam is a computer adaptive test (CAT), which means the difficulty of the questions adjusts based on the candidate's performance. Candidates who answer questions correctly are given more difficult questions, while those who answer incorrectly are given easier questions.

The passing score is a scaled score of 70-110, with 70 being the minimum passing score. This scaled score is determined by the candidate's overall performance on the exam, not the raw number of questions answered correctly.

The exact number of questions that must be answered correctly to achieve a scaled score of 70 varies based on the difficulty of the exam. Candidates who perform better on the exam will need to answer fewer questions correctly to pass, while those who struggle will need to answer more questions correctly.

If a candidate's scaled score falls below 70, they will not pass the exam. Candidates must achieve a scaled score of at least 70 to pass the NREMT exam.

The NREMT exam is designed to assess the candidate's competence in the necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities required to practice as an entry-level emergency medical technician. The passing score is set to ensure that only those who demonstrate this level of competence are certified.

It's important to note that the NREMT exam is a high-stakes exam, and candidates should prepare thoroughly to ensure they are able to achieve a passing score.
