All screening exams for
our paramedic original class must be pre-scheduled by
appointment only; we do not allow walk-in screenings. Only a
current NYS EMT will be able to take the multiple choice screening
exam.
The cost of the Screening Exam is $100.00
USD, non-refundable payable by money order made out to St. John’s
University. You must bring your driver’s license, your valid NYS
EMT card and a copy of your high school diploma with you. The
screening fee is separate from the tuition.
The written screening exam for the St.
John’s University paramedic original program consists of 200
questions of EMT knowledge, Math and Reading comprehension.
Any student stating they have a learning
disability requesting additional time must provide the university
with an IEP, for any accommodations to be made prior to
testing.
If the candidate exceeds the allotted time
limit for the exam, this may lead to the exam being invalidated and
a grade of zero (0) will be assigned to that exam. All
candidates must be cognizant of their own time. The proctor
will not monitor your time for you. The computer will show a
one minute time warning box in the middle of the screen when the
exam is almost out of time. No cell phones, PDA or other
electronic devices are allowed.
Upon successful completion of the written
exams the candidate will be need to successfully complete a
background and drug screening check done by an independent service
chosen by the EMS Institute. The background and drug
screening must be done prior to the first day of class, and the fee
for that process is $105. If the students back ground check or drug
testing comes up with any problems, they will be dealt with on an
individual basis and this will preclude them from entering the
program.
