Failed NREMT - National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians twice — what am I missing?

Posting this because I'm frustrated and hoping someone can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I've failed the NREMT - National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians exam twice now. The first time I wasn't fully prepared — I know that. But the second attempt I studied hard for 8 weeks and I still came up short by about 6 points.

What I've tried:

• Official study guide cover to cover
• Practice tests on https://practicetestgeeks.com/nremt (multiple times each)
• YouTube walkthroughs for the sections I was weak in
• Flashcard deck on Anki

My weak area seems to be applying concepts in weird edge-case scenarios — I know the material but the way some questions are phrased throws me off.

Any advice from people who struggled before passing? Specifically on the application-heavy questions.

Appreciate you sharing the failure story. Most threads are just people celebrating passes and it makes you feel like everyone else has it figured out. The struggle is real for a lot of us.
