PASS THE PARAMEDIC TESTS
Becoming a Paramedic is no easy feat, but is certainly a rewarding one. As part of the paramedic selection process, you’ll need to pass a number of tests which assess fundamental skills required to perform well as a paramedic. So, these paramedic assessment tests are an important part of the selection process. Therefore, don’t overlook them during the application process and preparation for becoming a paramedic.
If you want to become a paramedic in 2024, then you will need to pass these tests. Let’s find out more about how to pass the paramedic tests in 2024.
WHAT ARE THE PARAMEDIC TESTS?
During the paramedic selection process you will be required to undertake a number of psychometric tests. So, whilst the type of tests will vary from trust to trust, the most common forms of assessment include:
- Numerical reasoning test;
- Verbal reasoning test;
- Highway Code test.
The reason why the trust will use the above tests to assess potential student paramedics is simply because they provide an accurate appraisal of how a person might perform in the role.
Therefore, paramedics need to be competent in the use of numbers whilst administering drugs to a patient and carrying out general patient treatment. So, they have to be competent in the use of the written word because they will be writing important notes that relate to their treatment of a patient. The memory test is used because, as a paramedic, you will have to retain a large amount of job relevant information and recall it during highly pressurised incidents.
Finally, the Highway Code is used as an assessment simply because you will be driving an Ambulance under blue-light conditions.
The Paramedic Tests
Let’s take a look at each of the paramedic tests in a bit more detail:
NUMERICAL REASONING
This test consists of two main types of question. Let’s have a look at both of these:
General Numerical Reasoning
Questions in this category require you to work with simple operations such as addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication. These questions are often applied to situations, and might involve dealing with money, objects, or measurements.
Paramedic Numerical Reasoning
This type of question is similar to the General Numerical Reasoning question, but focuses a bit more on actual sums you might have to calculate in your head while you’re on duty as a paramedic. These questions usually involve calculating speed, distance, or time – especially in relation to riding a vehicle such as an ambulance.
VERBAL Reasoning Test
In the Verbal Reasoning test, you’ll be assessed on your ability to understand the associations between words and phrases. This will involve questions that require you to fill in the gaps in a sentence, pick the odd one out, and more.
HIGHWAY CODE TEST
This third test assesses your knowledge of the Highway Code. This is essential for paramedics, as you’ll often need to safely navigate roads and highways in order to deliver care and save lives. These are pure knowledge questions, so your best bet is to learn the Highway Code as well as possible.
