Just joined the National Guard for 68w. I already have my EMT and I was told that once I get to AIT they will decide whether or not I skip the EMT portion. Can anyone shed some light on the process of deciding? How should I prepare? I don’t want to go through EMT class again.

If its an NREMT-B cert, you should be good. If its a state cert, you're probably going to have to redo it. Have your training NCO call the schoolhouse ahead of time to confirm.

I have both. I have NREMT-B and state cert. Will there be a skills test or written test or anything like that?

There shouldn't be. Although i suggest contacting the schoolhouse to make sure. You should be able to just complete phases 2 and 3.

Keep all your original docs. Take copies with you. Make sure your command and who ever else needs them. You can be grandfathered in as long as it all meets the army requirements. Yes, it is still up to the commander to either have you go anyway. Besides, it is a win win for you. You get a mess of revert hours and you get paid as well as refreshed on your training. So it is not all that bad. I had to go through the training again even though I had my EMT for 10 years already. Don’t fret it, it will not hurt you.
