What is the recert exam like?
The recertification exam (also called the refresher exam) is based on the 1996 national standard EMT-B refresher curriculum. You can obtain the curriculum free of charge at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s web site. The written exam has 120 multiple choice questions. The practical exam has three stations that combine many skills into three realistic scenarios. An applicant is allowed three attempts on both the written and practical certification exams, if necessary.
