HOSA Competition Events Practice Test

Round One focuses on knowledge through a written, multiple-choice assessment rather than hands-on skills. It typically consists of about 50 questions that cover patient assessment, EMS protocols, and other essential concepts. The score from this test determines which teams advance to Round Two, where the skills are demonstrated in practical stations. This is why the description describing Round One as a 50-question MC test with advancement to a second round for the skills component is the best fit. The other options don’t fit because Round One isn’t a practical skills test, isn’t the only round, and isn’t an essay exam.
