Prices and features verified on each company's own site on 5 September 2026; their terms may have changed since, so check before you buy. This compares prep to prep — no cell includes the National Registry's $104 examination fee, which is paid to the NREMT directly, or any state skills-verification charge. Blank cells mean the seller does not publish that figure. UWorld was checked and sells no EMS product; Mometrix sells EMT books rather than a subscription and is excluded for that reason. Capital Prep is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians; NREMT® is its registered mark, used here descriptively to name the examination this product prepares you for.

Questions, answered
What do I get for free?
The entire study guide, free, with no card. Every page readable, highlightable, and you can turn any line into a flashcard. Practice questions, mocks and the AI tutor are part of the paid passes.
How does the SurePass Guarantee work?
Score 80%+ on one full-length mock, sit the real exam, and if you don't pass we refund what you paid. On Lifetime, clear two mocks with your readiness meter at "Getting close" or above and we also pay your full $104 retake fee. You file the claim in your account with the score report the National Registry sends you. It is a refund and a fee reimbursement — we cannot and do not promise you a pass.
How many full-length mocks do I get?
4 scored full-length sittings, each a brand-new 120-question paper weighted to the five published domains and timed to the real 2 hours. Practice questions and timed practice are unlimited and never use one. The bank is 960 questions, so even after four scored sittings there are questions you have never seen.
Which pass should I buy?
Match it to your exam date. Sitting within a week, the 7-Day Pass is built for that. A month out, the 30-Day. No date yet, or you want it to keep working after you pass — Lifetime, which matters here because National Registry certification is renewed every two years.
What is on the exam?
The National Registry replaced the EMT examination on 7 April 2025, and the five domains are now Scene Size-up and Safety at 15–19% of the exam, Primary Assessment 39–43%, Secondary Assessment 5–9%, Patient Treatment and Transport 20–24%, and Operations 10–14%. Paediatric care is integrated throughout rather than sitting in its own domain. Our bank and guide are built to those weights — Primary Assessment alone is more than twice the next-largest domain, and a bank organised on the retired Airway / Cardiology / Trauma / Medical-OBGYN structure is mis-weighted by construction.
How long is the exam, and how is it scored?
It is a computerised adaptive test: a minimum of 70 items and a maximum of 120, with 2 hours to complete it, and 10 of those items are unscored pilot questions. The test stops as soon as it is 95% confident you are above or below the standard. Your result is reported on a scale from 100 to 1500 with a passing point of 950 — and only candidates who do not pass receive a score, so a pass comes back as a pass with no number attached. Results are generally posted to your National Registry account within two business days.
Your mocks are 120 questions — is that what I'll sit?
No, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise. The real exam is adaptive, so its length depends on your answers and no practice product can reproduce it. Ours is a fixed, linear 120-question multiple-choice paper — the maximum length, timed to the real 2 hours — which makes it a full-length rehearsal of the CONTENT and a consistent measure of where you are. The National Registry publishes no percent-correct cut at all, so our mocks are scored against our own 80% bar, which is also the bar the guarantee is settled on.
Does the exam use drag-and-drop or build-list questions?
Yes — alongside multiple choice, the National Registry's test plan lists multiple response, options table, build list and drag-and-drop items, all scored all-or-nothing with no partial credit. Our questions are multiple choice. Every job task in the test plan is covered by our bank and our guide, but if you have never met a build-list item you will meet the interaction for the first time on test day, and we would rather you knew that here than found out there.
What does the exam itself cost, and what does a retake cost?
The cognitive examination is $104, and the National Registry states the fee is charged for each examination attempt — there is no discounted retake. That is why our Lifetime tier covers your full $104 retake fee if you qualify and don't pass. The $30 rescheduling fee and the $150 rescore fee are not retake fees and we do not treat them as ones.
What happens if I fail — how soon can I sit again?
You may reapply and pay the fee as soon as your results are posted, but the retest policy makes you wait 15 days from your last examination date. You get six chances to pass, and after three failures the National Registry requires remedial education — the 20-credit EMT National Competency Component, or a state- or CAPCE-approved refresher — uploaded with your fourth attempt. Some states will not accept online CE hours for that. Fifteen days is short, so the retake reimbursement is a promise you can act on quickly; the third failure is the one that costs real money and weeks, and it is what the guarantee is really speaking to.
Does this cover the skills test too?
No, and nothing on this page should be read as covering it. The National Registry runs the cognitive examination; the BLS psychomotor skills verification is set, run and priced by your state EMS office, and it is a separate requirement with a separate fee. Our study system and our guarantee are for the cognitive exam only.
Am I eligible to sit the exam?
You need to have completed a state-approved EMT course. Initial courses are valid for two years from the month and year of completion, your Authorization to Test is valid for 90 days (and expires with the course if the course runs out first), and your results stay valid for 24 months. Taking remedial education for a fourth attempt does not extend your course completion date. Check the National Registry's current requirements before you apply.
What happens when my pass expires?
Your account stays; the paid features stop. Your notes, highlights and flashcard history are all still there if you come back, and Lifetime never expires.
Are the questions like the real exam?
Every item is written to the National Registry's own test plan, weighted domain by domain, with four options and a rationale on each. We also run a construction audit nobody else in this category runs: a reader who cannot see the question, only the options, is measured against pure guessing, and the result is published rather than claimed. Here it is — that reader scores 26.8% on our bank against 25% for pure guessing, 1.8 points above chance across 6,355 blind reads, which is the cleanest read in our estate. What we will not do is suggest these questions appear on the real exam — they do not, reconstructing exam content is a certification-revoking offence, and no practice score can promise you a passing one.
My exam date moved. Does the plan adjust?
Yes. Change the date and the Game Plan rebuilds around the new one — it works backwards from your date, so a move forward compresses it and a move back spreads it out. Nothing is lost.
Can I use it on my phone, and does it work offline?
Yes to both. Add it to your home screen and it behaves like an app. Your due flashcards and a set of practice questions download automatically, so you can revise with no signal — at the station, on the bus, between calls. Narrated audio and full-length mocks still need a connection.
Do you offer refunds if I change my mind?
Yes, separately from the pass guarantee: 24 hours on the 7-Day Pass, 48 hours on the 30-Day Pass, or 72 hours on Lifetime, measured from your purchase (or from your upgrade, if you upgraded) — no questions asked, as long as you haven't sat your exam yet. EEA and UK buyers also keep their 14-day statutory right. The SurePass Guarantee is the other promise — that one is about your exam result, not about changing your mind.
Why are SurePass guarantees limited each week?
Because we honour them. Every guarantee is a real financial commitment, so we cap how many are live in a given week and the counter you see is a count of genuine commitments — purchases and held checkouts — never a display number. If a week sells out, yours activates the following Monday.
