What Does This Product Do?

The Kaplan CertPrep NREMT® AEMT Exam Prep covers all content domains of the AEMT exam blueprint, including airway and ventilation, cardiology, trauma, medical emergencies, and operations — with additional coverage of the IV/IO access, medication administration, and advanced airway interventions specific to the AEMT scope of practice. Questions include the clinical judgment scenarios and Technology Enhanced Item (TEI) formats introduced to ALS exams in July 2024, reflecting the current adaptive exam experience.

About the NREMT® AEMT Exam

The NREMT® AEMT cognitive exam is a linear computer-based test (not adaptive), administered at Pearson VUE testing centers or via OnVUE remote proctoring. Every candidate receives exactly 135 questions with a 3-hour time limit; the fixed-length linear format means all candidates complete the same question set. The exam includes clinical judgment scenarios and Technology Enhanced Items (TEIs) introduced to ALS exams in July 2024. Passing is based on a scaled score of 950 on a 100–1500 scale. Candidates must also meet the ALS Student Minimum Competency (SMC) requirement. The exam fee is $110 per attempt.

Frequently Asked Questions

The NREMT® AEMT (Advanced Emergency Medical Technician) cognitive exam certifies providers who practice at the advanced EMT level, with expanded scope including IV/IO access, medication administration, and advanced airway interventions. The AEMT exam uses a fixed linear format (not adaptive) and includes clinical judgment scenarios and Technology Enhanced Items introduced in July 2024.
The NREMT® AEMT exam has exactly 135 questions — a fixed linear format, unlike the adaptive EMT and Paramedic exams. Every candidate completes the same 135 questions within a 3-hour time limit. Passing is based on a scaled score of 950 on the 100–1500 scale. The exam fee is $110 per attempt.
The AEMT exam covers additional scope beyond the EMT level, including IV/IO access, fluid resuscitation, medication administration, and more advanced airway management. The AEMT exam is also structurally different: it uses a fixed linear 135-question format, while the EMT exam is computer-adaptive (70–120 questions). The AEMT exam also includes clinical judgment scenarios not on the EMT exam.
AEMTs have an intermediate scope of practice, adding IV access and a limited drug formulary above the EMT level. Paramedics have the broadest prehospital scope, including advanced airway management, a comprehensive drug formulary, 12-lead ECG interpretation, and complex clinical decision-making. The Paramedic cognitive exam is significantly more challenging and covers more content.
Yes. As of July 2024, the NREMT® AEMT exam includes clinical judgment scenarios and Technology Enhanced Items (TEIs) — multiple-select, drag-and-drop, and scenario-based question types — alongside traditional multiple-choice questions.
