How the plan sets your priorities
The AEMT score report gives one scaled score for the whole exam, not a rating for each domain. Rate how each content domain went on your last attempt; the planner doesn't need exact scores. So the planner asks you instead: the content domains you mark as hard start your plan, mixed ones are strengthened, and confident ones get lighter review. Your answers are a self-assessment, not an official result.
Each content domain starts from its share of the exam in the official outline, multiplied by its priority: 3× to start, 2× to strengthen, 1.5× if you leave it blank, and 1× to maintain. A quarter of your time is mixed practice across all content domains. This is Passy’s planning method; it doesn’t estimate a score or a chance of passing.
Retake rules for the AEMT
Wait 15 days after a failed attempt; reapply and pay the $159 fee each time. You have six attempts, and after three failures you must complete remedial education before the fourth.
