school. The exam has over 130 questions, which range in
difficulty level from knowledge recall to problem solving. The
exam consists of six topic areas, which were selected by a
national committee of Emergency Medical Service educators for
the purpose of determining which students are most likely to
succeed in a paramedic education program.
