Washington requires that you do at least one skill sheet from each module. That may mean that you do only 5 stations, but you are at least going to do 5 sheets....however most evaluators will make you do at least 3 skills per station, unless the TCO is trying to work with the dept to get people through the test then it will be on the easier side(lame in my point because it should be standardized on how many sheets you are tested on.)

Yeah, Indiana used to do it where the only skill you knew you were gonna have was PPE. Other than that you found out the skills when you tested. I always laugh because I tested under the old method and then no sooner do I get my Instructor Cert and they throw the whole book at us...literally.

Ohio is the same way, for a list of skills required in ohio go to www.ems.ohio.gov/ then scroll down look for fire services, in there you will find the objectives. Hope this helps, actually Ohio is a little out of date with essentials V, I made a posting about this somewhere oh here.
