I took the new york state certified first responder exam today, I
would like to know what score I must receive to pass?

Hello.

Hi.

I'm sorry, but it does not appear that the questions and answers for
that examination are posted anywhere on the internet.

You will get your results in four weeks, though, according to this web
page:
http://www.health.state.ny.us/nysdoh/ems/certification/certification.htm

You might try calling the State EMS Testing Office testing hotline at
1-800-628-0193.

Again, I extend my apologies that I couldn't help you out with this
second question. The information simply does not seem to be available.

Anyway, best of luck to you with your EMS certification!
