Who knew two days could feel like an eternity? From Monday to Wednesday, I sat in suspense wondering my fate after taking my NCLEX. I wouldn’t have cared if I had to pay $100 to know my results immediately; I would have done anything to not have to wait those days. I was walking on eggshells. My mother asked me afterwards how it went and I didn’t have any words for her. I couldn’t explain what I had just gone through. It was almost like it hadn’t happened.
I think Sunday was the toughest day. Just knowing that I was taking THE NCLEX the next day made me a little weary. I did my best to take my mind off it: I hung out with friends and went shopping with my mother. I think that was the way to go. Even though I was stressed out and a little panicked, I knew I was prepared and that helped me the most. I had studied the recommended amount and really felt confident that my college had given me the right tools to succeed in this test.
On Monday morning, I woke up pretty early and went to breakfast with my mom. She could tell I was nervous, but did everything in her power to not bring the test up during the meal. That really helped. The test center was about 45 minutes from my house, so I left at 11 a.m. for my test at 1 p.m. On the drive there, I was surprisingly confident and not so nervous. Once I pulled into the parking lot and turned my car off, I realized I was actually doing this.
There was no one in the waiting room when I arrived. The receptionist took my information and my ID, then I smiled for my picture and I was brought into the test room. Everyone was so helpful and nice during the whole process.
Once I sat down at computer No. 2, I felt surprisingly calm. I got comfortable and went through the tutorial. I had already looked at this at home before taking the test so I didn’t have to waste any time on it. I recommend doing that before you take the test just so you know what to expect. (It’s on the PearsonVue Web site).
The test started and I just took a deep breath. I gave every question the amount of attention I thought it needed. I tried so hard to not look at the numbers or the time, but that didn’t work so well. Once question No. 75 went by, I got a little nervous. But I realized that didn’t matter, that I could still pass. My computer shut off at question No. 96. I couldn’t believe I was done. I was completely done with this! I didn’t feel like I had failed, but it was so hard to know if I had passed.
I was told to look up my scores 48 hours after I had finished. My test time was at 1 p.m. Monday, so my results were supposed to be up at about 2 p.m. on Wednesday. They were. I passed! I am officially Chelsea Bancroft, RN.
Relief isn’t even the word. I am still in awe that I am completely done. Every day I wake up, I still think I need to study. It is kind of amazing how much this test can consume your life. Now that I am done, I am still focusing on finding a job. I have an interview this week and hopefully it’s a starting point.
What a journey! Thanks for coming along for the ride!

That is how i feel now waiting for my NCLEX-PN results. It took me two hours and I don’t really know how many questions. I think it was close to 85 which is the lpn minimum. I hope I passed.
March 12th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
I just took my NCLEX RN my computer stopped at 75; I am very stressed out but there’s one thing that I am sure of that I did not receive easy questions throughout the test; so, I feel like that I have some hope of passing. It is so hard to even think of “fails” I just don’t know. I hope this 48 hours come fast than any other day.
May 8th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
I’m waiting for pearsonvue to post my quickresults.. it has been 2 days and my results are still unavailable.. the suspense is killing me I feel like I’m gonna puke all the time! I just don’t know how tomorrow will be if I see a failed note on the screen! this is just pure torture… :S
May 8th, 2009 at 4:44 pm
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May 8th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
Let me be among the first to say congratulations, Tisha: CONGRATULATIONS! You deserve to celebrate!
May 12th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
I took the NCLEX yesterday. I live in California and graduate on May 22. I didnt know it would take a month for the results unless I would have waited until after graduation I am sick for the second day I have no idea how I will last for another month. My test stoped at 75 questions and some questions seem as if they were repeating (I know that is not good). I had 3 math problems, about 5 SATA. maybe 3 meds I remember questions as I walk, eat and breath for 24 hours now. What are easy questions and what are hard questions?
May 13th, 2009 at 11:15 am
Congratulations to all of you who have passed!!
Kim, honestly you can’t really tell what are the easy and hard questions! Some questions might seem easy to you might be really challenging for other people. I know it is super frustrating right now because I’m sure you are over analyzing every question that you can remember. Just take a second and breathe!! If you did everything you could to study for this test than I know you will succeed. You have to have confidence in your performance. Remember there are 15 questions out of those 75 that don’t count! Just remain focused on the fun and excitement of graduation and before you know it will be time to find out your results!!! GOOD LUCK!!!! i will have my fingers crossed for you!!
May 18th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
I just finished my NCLEX-RN test this morning. I don’t know how to describe my state of well being at the moment. I guess the computer might have stopped at the 75th question because the last time I glanced at the question counter -it was still on number 68th. Maybe I just kept on answering the questions and did not realize it was the 75th question. I was hoping to take all the 265 questions so that I have a “slightly” better opportunity to pass if I am already on the failing stage. I was not ready for the computer to shut off at that time and felt that the things I reviewed were not yet even asked. It feels like those times that I have studied were not that important because the 90% of the questions were so difficult to me. Do you know of anybody who felt they failed their test actually passed it? I have to accept though that it is not within my hands anymore and I have done my best. Goodluck to all those waiting for your results and hope that all those study days/months will be rewarded positively.
May 23rd, 2009 at 2:25 pm
Yes! I passed! Thank you Lord. I still can’t believe that I made it. Thank you very much. Good luck to other test takers! Keep the faith alive!
May 30th, 2009 at 7:50 pm
Good luck to everyone. I took the NCLEX LVN and in california on May 13th they really torture us by making us wait for four weeks.. I don’t know how I did. My test shut off at 85 and I screamed. I counldnt belive it. I need this so bad. Two more weeks of stressing. It didn’t seem hard but it wasn’t easy. I don’t know what to think. Oh God. Please pray for me.
June 1st, 2009 at 9:35 am
Four weeks? Why is the wait so long? I’m sure you did just fine. But just to be safe, I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!
June 3rd, 2009 at 1:28 am
Hi! I took the NCLEX-RN May 27,2009. My computer stopped at 142. I called the California Board of Nursing, and they told me to wait for 1month. I also tried to check my name on the online website of California Board of Nursing license verification and it didn’t show my name. Does it mean that i fail ‘coz it was my 6th day today. But anyway, i started to study again just in case i fail. Is there any other way to know the result? Do they cancel the Temporary/Interim Permit right away if you fail,and does it show the cancellation on the Temporary Permit online?
June 20th, 2009 at 1:08 pm
Justina I have all the same questions as you do!!! I have been talking to RNs who graduated two years ago and they’ve told me that some people get their results the next day while others wait three weeks for a letter in the mail saying they passed. It certainly doesn’t seem fair! I’m a wreck over this and i’ve been compulsively checking the BRN website!!! Arrgg. Good luck.
June 30th, 2009 at 9:05 am
OMG, I took the NCLEX RN yesterday. My quick results are supposed to be posted tomorrow. I don’t know if I can make it until then! I’m already feeling so sick. My computer stopped @ 75. I honest to God feel like I failed it. This has to be the worst 2 days of waiting ever!!!
July 2nd, 2009 at 3:47 pm
Took the test on 6/30, tough test it shut off at 85 Q’s, I feel like I answered the last 5 correctly. Waiting to find out. How long does it take?
July 4th, 2009 at 1:29 am
Took PN-Nclex on July 2 2009 and I had 85 questions. Its over the holiday weekend and I am about to puke……Think I failed but i keep doubting myself….
July 14th, 2009 at 8:51 pm
I took my NCLEX-PN exam yesterday. It stopped around questions 140. Everyone I know already got their result through “24 hr automated line” and I’ve been calling that number but my name and or license has not been posted yet. I think I failed and have been crying the whole day. Then I thought, maybe they haven’t got my results in yet? Maybe they will post it up in 3-4 days? I wish they gave PASS or FAIL results sooner, it’s really hard to wait through this. So much harder when all of your classmates have passed and keep asking your if you got your result. I don’t even know if I should start studying to re-take it…or wait or what. So burnt out, and brain dead with information overload.
That test felt impossible!
July 15th, 2009 at 4:21 am
Hey guys, congratulations to everybody that passed!! I want to ask you a question. What study course for NCLEX-RN do you suggest? Which one is the best? Kaplan..Ati..? Thank you.
July 24th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
I took my NCLEX exam on Tuesday, 7/21, stopped at 75 questions, and felt somewhat confident when I left the testing center. Today is Friday, 7/24. I know the BRN office is closed and that updates are done sometime after midnight. I’m wondering why the online verification page still says, “Last updated: JUL-23-2009″ when I was up till 3am (on 7/24). I’m not a computer whiz, but does this mean that there is still a chance for me to check my unofficial passing verification?! I hope so! A lot of my friends were able to check their unofficial status three days after their test. Others who took their exam on Monday had to wait 1-2 weeks. I’m really scared… Any words of encouragement?
August 11th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
Hi guys! would you know what website I can see the result? Thanks!
August 12th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
My sister took the California NCLEX in the Philippines last July 20. Is there a website that I can check on the test results?
August 17th, 2009 at 4:26 am
IM SO Glad that NCLEX exam for me was the easiest exam that i did because i know HE was with me during my exam… i know i did it well by Gods Grace… Failed or passed it is still my victory and honor to have that state board exam…. THink positive…..i would like to say thank you to KAPLAN for helping me answering the question well by means of their awesome review materials and training…PROMISE so great … KAPLAN is the best…

I did my nclex RN test on 12/7/2009 and the computer stopped at 75 questions.

December 17th, 2009 at 12:29 pm
Hello, Sophie.
I feel you. I just took my NCLEX last Monday (Dec 14, 2009) at Pearson Vue in Milpitas, CA. It was hella hard of a test. My computer stopped at around 84 questions. I am definetely nervous and anxious right now. As of 9AM today (Thu, Dec 17, 2009), my name is NOT on the list at the CA BRN website. Many say its a toss-up for 72 hours to about 1 week after the testing date. I dunno, but I feel so down right now. I sure as hella hope I did pass. and I’m hoping for the best for all of us who have taken it.

I found these posts to be very conforting. Took my Rn boards on 2/8/10 and it shut off at 84, I’m a nervous reck!!
February 10th, 2010 at 11:49 pm
I just took my NCLEX RN yesterday and it shut off at 75 questions. I honestly feel like I failed but I studied so much, took kaplan and did like 3000 practice questions. Coming out of that room was honestly the worst feeling ever. I am awaiting my early results tomorrow and I feel like I am going to puke. I am so glad to hear I’m not the only one to feel like this!
February 17th, 2010 at 3:49 pm
I just took the NCLEX RN today and it shut off at 75 questions. I really feel like I failed. I am extremely nervous. I studied sooo much though! Before I sat down and saw the 1st question, I was really confident. After about 5 questions, my confidence fell so hard. By the 75th question, I was praying it would keep going - I needed to show them I know more! But it didn’t, at 75 it shut off. Well, hopefully in 2 days my results will be posted. Reading all of your messages has helped me - I’m not alone with freaking out and feeling like I am going to puke. Good luck to all my fellow NCLEX test-takers. Wish me luck! :o)
March 12th, 2010 at 11:37 am
I took NCLEX RN yesterday. the computer shut off at 75, I was in there and out in little over an hour. Im going insane!!! Does anyone know of anyone htat failed at 75?
March 24th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
I took my test yesterday in Redding. Shut off at 75 and I cried. I know I am not stupid but the questions seemed very difficult. I absolutely hate the SATA questions and I had a lot. I have my fingers crossed but I feel very discouraged. It was nothing like any of the prep questions I have done. I have taken review tests from books, many ATI exams, MedsPub etc. etc. etc. oh well nothing to do now but wait =)
March 25th, 2010 at 8:02 pm
I am 1 day post NCLEX-PN . It shut off at 91 or 93 questions. I may puke. Less than 24 hrs till I get my results. Too bad Ativan isnt over the counter.
March 26th, 2010 at 12:22 pm
Hey Super John -
I am 1 day post NCLEX-PN as well. Mine also shut off around 91-95 questions. I have been calling the BON license look up line and keep getting disappointed. They say it takes about 48 hrs and sometimes several days. Atleast your not alone ;/
This waiting is seriously ridiculous.
Anyways, I am sure you did great! Keep us posted!
Will keep my fingers crossed for you!
March 27th, 2010 at 1:08 am
Howdy Waiting-
Thanks for the crossed fingers. After an evening of checking the BON and Pearson websites with great frequency and no results, I finally went to bed and dreamed of questions I could not answer. This morning I checked again and still nothing. I went to my favorite coffee shop and checked again. I found that yelling “yeah” and laughing fiendishly in a crouded public place will only draw a dirty look from the lady with her five year old sitting at the next table, but there it was, my name and a license number.
I hope your day today or maybe tomorrow goes as well.
PS Want to give me a job?
March 29th, 2010 at 7:51 am
I wish I could, but I don’t think I made it ;/
Still have been calling the BON number, still no name or number.
It’s been 4 day’s.
I’m glad it all worked out for you!
Good luck with everything!
April 5th, 2010 at 4:23 pm
just took my lpn boards in WI today it shut off at 85 I felt like most of them I was looking for answers that werent even there. I hope I pass Im in my 3rd semester for nursing and will be taking the RN NCLEX this time next year so passng the LPN would really help boost my self esteam right now
April 15th, 2010 at 12:20 pm
i took my NCLEX-PN yesterday. I donot know what I did. I think Got lots of questions wrong and shut off on 85th question. I have to wait 4 weeks for results. I had lots of priority question, mark all apply, one math question, diseases on crohn, hypothyroidism, adesonian crisis, cushing disease, also infection control. I am so scared.
April 24th, 2010 at 11:12 am
I took my RN board on Tuesday have been trying to check the website without prevail. I tried the PVT without prevail. It states “ALERT” username already exists”. I’ve tried calling quick results and they state “all circuits are busy. I’ve been doing both for 3-4 days. Its the most frustrating.I’m not sure I want to even try again if I fail. Its been to stressful. I had 265 questions and still feel uncertain of results especially depending on the official site’s posting.
May 24th, 2010 at 1:53 pm
I took my NCLEX-RN today and feel absolutely devastated. I cried half way through it and it shut off at 85 questions. I’ve done 700-1000 questions per day for the last week. I’ve maintained A’s and B’s in all my nursing classes and I feel like school did not prepare me for this exam at all! I have 3 iPhone apps and a bunch of different books that I’ve been studying out of and completed, none of them has prepared me for what I went through this morning. I want to stay optimistic, but the questions were so hard. I need some therapeutic interventions here…please!!!
June 3rd, 2010 at 12:28 am
I have been trying to take the NCLex RN since 1993. I was on the dean list student. What is it that I can not get the passing score. Please help me I have been spending too much money on books, CD, review courses. What should I do ? I am working as an LPN since then.
June 4th, 2010 at 12:44 pm
My daughter studied very hard in school and before her NCLEX RN exam. Whoever designed this system of giving exam results should be brought to asylum for the insane. This system brings torture, trauma, stress to a lot of students who really worked hard. Why not give the results straight away, but still under verification, so they know what they expect.
Have Mercy
June 8th, 2010 at 1:41 pm
I took my NCLEX/RN yesterday, and will be receiving my results tomorrow. I had all 265 questions. I cried all the way home and felt like the world was ending. I just want to know how I did. I will be on the computer bright and early in the morning. I pray that it has pass on it because there is too much going on for me to go through that stress again. I don’t think there was anything that could have prepared me for what I went through.
June 8th, 2010 at 6:19 pm
I took my NCLEX/RN this morning and it stopped at 79. I have no idea what to think. I got hard questions, select all that apply, math, drugs, I’m not sure if they were “above the line or not”? Shenell let us know how you did!!
June 8th, 2010 at 7:50 pm
Hi Shenell and Brittany. I took the test around 2pm today and the computer stopped at 75. There was a lot of prioritization,2 calculations,and the rest was mystery. I tried to logged in to the pearsonvue.com to check if i pass or not, by registering.But when i tried to register, it didn’t say anything rather it goes thru and thru to the payment process. So it means that i didn’t pass.
June 9th, 2010 at 2:59 pm
I took my test on Monday, June 7, 2010 in Atlanta, GA. The test seemed so difficult while I was taking it. I remember when I finished my test; all I could do was put my head down because I felt like I did so horrible. I remember getting in my car and thinking it is 2010 the results should be given immediately. It just ticked me off knowing I am gonna have to wait 48 hours for my test. I must say WAITING FOR THE RESULTS IS THE HARD PART. I felt like a nervous wreck. I couldn’t think about nothing but checking my status. My concentration was so gone; All I wanted to do was check my status on pearson vue.
About 30 minutes ago, I just got my results. When I saw that my results were available, I screamed soooooooooooooo loud. Because I was soo tired of WAITING. So, as I was entering my info, I was crying like a baby cause I knew that I had failed so bad. When I saw that I passed, I SCREAM AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was such a feeling of relief. It was like I could not breathe for 48 hours. I just thought the test was difficult, and I made alot of silly mistakes.
IT FEELS SO GOOD TO KNOW that I PASSED my NCLEX!!! I want to encourage everyone to just believe and have faith WITH GOD FIRST ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!!!! Oh yea, this site has been so helpful to me. Its nice to see that I am not the only one that went through this. GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 11th, 2010 at 3:12 pm
Well, I got my dreaded results and I didn’t pass. It feels terrible. I know I had set myself up for 75 questions and then when it went over, I panicked and I know that’s what caused me to fail. I have been crying for 3 days now. I don’t know what to do this is killing me. I just want to commit myself and call it a day.
June 12th, 2010 at 1:00 am
I took my test today at 3. It was very hard and I studied and took a review class. I felt like I got questions about things I never learned! it did shut off at 75. Does anyone know a person that failed with 75?
June 12th, 2010 at 4:14 pm
Justina, why would you think that cause the test results are not ready you failed? Where do you live? I’m in IL. and we have to wait 48 business hrs. I”ve heard 75 is a good thing and I of course want to believe that since I got 75 also! Please let us know if you passed.
June 16th, 2010 at 6:41 pm
I live in california. After i took the exam, i went online and tried the Pearson Vue Trick or PVT. So, it went through and through to payment, and they said that it means failed. And once it will not go through and through to the payment, it means passed. After that day, i called the board of nursing and i told them that i need to send them a reapplication, and they said that i can send it. I am planning to take the test soon after 45 days.
June 16th, 2010 at 11:10 pm
Hey guys, I took my N-Clex RN yesterday at 2. I got cut off at 75. When I got home I was stressing because all that was standing out in my head was the hard questions that I just had to guess on. After looking online at blog sites I found a lot about the pearson vue trick. After reading over 300 replies on different websites about this being 100% accurate, I decided to try it. According to the result(error box) I passed. I don’t completely feel comfortable with this conclusion, but it has helped me be less stressed until I can pay the 8 dollars to get my unofficial results tomorrow. I highly recommend trying this. It takes a lot of stress away and makes it easier to wait. I will post tomorrow my results to show that it is trustworthy.
June 17th, 2010 at 12:00 pm
well, JASRN, dod you PASS??
June 17th, 2010 at 4:29 pm
I passed! The trick worked for me.
June 19th, 2010 at 10:20 am
This is awful the wait is killing me!!!! I took my NCLEX RN on Thurs at 2, now here it is Saturday at 11…. I keep checking the PA state board of nursing as well as Pearson vue, Nothing yet! My test shut off at 82 questions I had 17 SELECT ALL THAT APPLY!!! drugs, delegation, priority, and infection control. I also did the “PVT” its giving me the good pop up so I really hope that is a good sign and it works for me I will keep you all posted!!!
June 29th, 2010 at 1:30 pm
OMG….. I took my test yesterday………………I dont think I can stand waiting until tomorrow to find out. I had 265…with a lot of select all apply, prioritizing….. 3 math… i cant handle failing….i did get the good note on pvt… i still dont trust it until i see it on my mdbon
June 30th, 2010 at 11:09 am
Hey everyone! I can feel your frustrations!!! I took nclex-RN yesterday with around 79 or 80 questions. I am freaking out because I did get easy questions, but I also got very difficult questions… What is the pearsonvue trick that everyone is talking about?? And will I be able to do this since I just took my exam yesterday? Thanks!!!!
I will keep my fingers crossed for each and every one of you!
July 5th, 2010 at 2:56 am
I took my NCLEX-RN in CA on 6/28. I finished with 75 questions (mostly SATA, pharm & prioritization) & got the good PVT pop-up. Over a week has passed and still no results. Everyone I know that took the test found out in less than 5 days. I am going crazy!! I get 2-3 hrs sleep because I automatically wake up @ 2:30 am every morning to check the BRN website & then I can’t get back to sleep. Could I be the one unlucky person that proves the PVT trick wrong? Uuuggghhhh!!!
July 7th, 2010 at 12:32 pm
Hi everyone..I took my nlcex-pn last July 1 (thurs)and things are not normal for me since then ..I’m restless, tachycardia and having dyspnea already..Prolonging the AGONY..It took 6 wks to get my result (why California????)..I dont have money but Im willing to pay any amount to know the result…Waiting is Priceless…I always write down questions from my exam that I know I got wrong..I ended up 85 questions..got select all that apply, computations, prioritization.. 3 people from my batch passed already after 6 weeks of waiting for their result..Pls. Lord give me a Miracle…God Bless Everyone..
July 9th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
I also took my test on July 1st and yes I think I am going crazy as well. Everyday I check the CA verification and my name is not popping up. I didn’t get the PVT popup…that just makes me a nerve-wreck…..please someone tell me that this PVT trick does not work…..I also go 75 questions. This is my third time and have had 75 questions for the past two also and still failed.
I hope this time its different…..
July 9th, 2010 at 11:41 pm
Holy smoke,
I seriously left the test center and cried. I sat in my car convinced I had failed, my results are still not up. I tested 7/08/10. I wish we could get the results then, I feel like most of you do. I have serious palpatations, I feel like I am going to puke and have a heart attack all at the same time. I tried looking on the rn.ca.gov site to see if my name was up but it hasn’t been refreshed. This is horrible. I read so many of your responses and they made me feel good but also more nervous when I heard someone didn’t pass after 75. My computer shut off after 75 questions but let me tell you I didn’t feel positive on any of them. Not even 1!!! I had a 4.0 during the program, studied ATI, took a hurst review and studied Saunders, and NCLEX3500. Let me tell you nothing, and I mean nothing prepared me for what was going to happen in that room on that test. I am so nervous. I also tried the pearson vue trick, not sure if its true but a few of you said it was accurate in your results. It said they have record of me testing and to call the BRN it didn’t allow me to reapply. I hate to be such a mess but I got hired at my dream job before graduation and I would hate to have to hand the position over to someone else. Its what I have dreamed of in the hospital I wanted more than anything to work in. I have prayed a million times, which brings me some comfort, but Im not sure if begging God for me to pass is a polite thing to do. lol I want this more than anything in my heart. Please think positive and happy thoughts for me!!! Thank you to everyone who shared their stories, you made such a calm wind for me and I know for others too!!!
Andy
July 10th, 2010 at 9:47 am
Hi Guys,
For you california NCLEX’ers how long did it take before you saw your name on the BRN website? Its been more than a week since I took my NCLEX and its driving me nuts!

WOW! I just took the nclex yesterday and am sure that I failed. I had about 255 questions and they seemed easy at the end! I went home and checked for the “good pop up” and got it, has anyone ever got it and failed?
July 13th, 2010 at 4:36 pm
FML,
Took the sacred walk of NCLEX today and feel like total crap 4.5 hours post test. 160 something questions and i dont know what to make of it. I have already looked for quick results twice and whinced when i saw that my results were unavailable. Tried the “pearson vue trick” and it would not allow me to schedule another test. Feel sick that im banking on this online trick rather than confidence in my education. There should be legislation that removes this ridiculous waiting period. While we are adults and should be able to wait this out patiently, i think most of us RNs to be know that this horrible feeling interferes with our lives. Will post my results when i get them. Best wishes to nurses awaiting there results.

I took the nclex rn yesterday and i know i failed the test. nothing prepares you for what you get on the exam. i reviewed with kaplan, have 3 iphone apps, saunders latest cds and any other nclex questions i could do, i did but boy, that test was so difficult. i am an lpn and when i tried the pearsonvue trick, it couldnt let me key in the nursing school i graduated from and kept telling me i need to use a different criteria to register. i was unable to schedule another test and i am so sure i failed.
July 19th, 2010 at 4:46 pm
Hi! Took My Nclex-PN July 18 @ 1220! I am so scared!!! Im a nervous wreck! I did the PVT and it wouldnt let me re-register so supposedly that is a good sign. I am still scared! I can not wait 48 hours! lol! I have a wonderful job at a hospital already and I would hate to have to give it up because I didnt get my license! Yall pray for me!
July 19th, 2010 at 10:00 pm
Took my NCLEX today. 3hours15mins later and after approx 150 q’s I’ve NEVER felt so numb/unsure about how I did on an exam. I graduated w/honors, took Kaplan (w/95% chance of passing), and yet the q’s I had–made me feel like I studied/covered everything except what I needed to. I didnt even have one math problem which hit me as I walked out to my car. GUESS I was either too smart–so a math prob wasnt necessary….OR…the exam thought I was too pathetic–& there was no need to waste my time or their time w/a math problem :(:(:( lol ***humor is only help’n a lil bit
Currently there is only a couple more classmates that have to take the NCLEX.
***Most of my class that took it had all 265 q’s or close to it (2 failed–all the others passed) w/ exception of 2 classmates–both had 75 (one passed, and one failed) SO…I’m sitting here feeling like everyone else.
Pray’n & try’n to keep the faith until the results are posted
July 20th, 2010 at 3:24 pm
Grrrrrrr…..4 hours post nclex and I don’t know how I’m going to make it 4 weeks! WTF?? Why do we have to be the only state without quick results!! The PVT isn’t calming me (hopefully it’s true:)
July 20th, 2010 at 5:04 pm
Hello Again!
Happy to report @ 10am this morning the KBN still showed my PL (Provisional License) and a new entry stating REC NCLEX RESULTS WAITING ON CLINICAL INTERNSHIP–aka I PASSED the NCLEX here in KY!!! I PASSED :):):) (NOW I just have to start apply’n for jobs, and after 120 hours I will have an official RN license. YAY!!!)
STILL hasnt completely sunk in, but I’ve crossed it off this year’s TO DO LIST. :):):)
For all those in LIMBO. SORRY I cant offer much comfort–cuz personally NO MATTER what any1 said it didnt relieve the SICK feeling U get NOT KNOWING one way or the other. ***Take a day or two b4 to relax (NO STUDY’n) leave early for the test center, treat yourself to a lunch out, and arrive early. DONT pay attn to the CLOCK or the question # you are on. Use the ear plugs provided, and noise reduction head phones, get in the zone… READ the question and the answers. Cross off every answer you can, then make the best educated guess possible, forget it & move on. KNOW u CANT possibly know all the information or ALL the MEDS–personally I think they made some up
(well….it felt that way on several)
KNOW the whole experience is the WALK WE MUST ALL GO THRU, and the NCLEX is a bad boy/bad girl of a test just like they say. SO study as much as possible, and then GO FOR IT when U feel its a good time for you! REMEMBER you made it this far & U WILL MAKE IT THRU the exam. IF not the 1st time NO BIG…you will the next time
GOD didnt help you get this far for no reason :):):)
GOOD LUCK & BE BLESSED !!!
July 21st, 2010 at 11:32 am

July 22nd, 2010 at 10:27 am
@ sonervous
i also did the person vue trick and it will not let me go thru the payment page but it keeps bringing the pop -up that says key in the nursing school you graduated from, just like it told u. it did not say use another criteria to register, eventhough the info is correct ,do u know what it means? have u gotten you results? better yet, do anyone has the same experience ? or do u know anybody in the same boat ? did they pass the test ?am so worried the wait in california is killing me. someone HELLLLLPP !!!!!
July 26th, 2010 at 2:51 pm
HERE ARE THE EXACT STEPS TO SEE IF YOU PASSED OR FAILED THE NCLEX EXAM ON THE PEARSON VUE WEB SITE:
1) Go to http://www.vue.com/nclex.
Click the button.
2) Select the ‘Test Taker Services’ tab at the top.
3) Click ‘Register’ on the right side.
4) Click the ‘Credit Card’ link.
5) Click the ’sign in’ link in the second sentence.
6) Enter your Username.
7) Enter your Password.
9) Click ‘Register’ on the left side.
10) Select your test type.
11) Click the button.
12) Select your country.
13) Click the button.
14) Answer the yes/no questions.
15) Select your country again.
16) Select your state.
17) Type in your city.
18) Click the button. A list of schools should appear.
19) Select your school.
20) Select the month and year of your graduation.
21) Select your board of nursing.
22) Click the button.
VERY IMPORTANT: At this point, if you get a pop up that says ‘The candidate currently has test results that are on hold. A new registration cannot be created at this time.’, it has nothing to do with passing or failing; it just means that they are reviewing your records due to random reviews that they conduct, or because they needed to locate some data or papers, etc. This means you will possibly have to wait a few more days than your friends who did not get this message. If you get the message ‘Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your Member Board for further assistance. Another registration cannot be made at this time.’, that means you passed. If you do not get either message and go straight to the Credit Card information page, that means you did not pass.
Your Pearsonvue account must state that delivery is successful before you try the trick

August 5th, 2010 at 11:22 am
took my nclex today about 3.5 hrs ago..45 minutes..85 questions…sigh…glad I have to work this evening…will keep my mind off it.
August 5th, 2010 at 7:56 pm
I Hate waiting. I took my NCLEX- RN in Michigan on Wednesday and all I have to do is wait until morning and its killing me. I am so scared. I did the pvt and I got the good pop-up but I am not sure if that even works, I had never heard of it before. I left the testing center thinking that there was no way I passed. I had 75 questions and one of my frieds got 75 and failed. I guess I’m just writing on here to vent some of my frustration. I will post tomorrow and then maybe we can figure out if there is some truth to this pvt.
August 5th, 2010 at 9:20 pm
@godly34 I read the entire Kaplan book all except the part on international nursing. The tips really helped. It helped me to get through the questions. The first time I tested I thought that ABC and Safety was the only way to get rid of the wrong answer, boy was I wrong. I also answered the questions that came with the book, that are on the CD. I did about 75 questions per day. I also had some flash cards, but they only made me feel bad about answering questions. Kaplan was the best.
August 5th, 2010 at 9:22 pm
terri, like I told godly54, get you a kaplan book and read it and you should be fine. Oh NCLEX 3500 is good to because you can answer questions and get instant feedback, or answer so many and then get your results. It’s available free online http://www.nclex3500
August 5th, 2010 at 11:15 pm
thanks shenell terri i will ck the web and barnes and noble are you a pn/lvn did u pass and how many questions did you get on your test.
August 6th, 2010 at 9:39 am
Hey all ~
Took the NCLEX RN on Monday August 2nd. Ended at 167 questions. Did the Pearson vue trick and got to the CC webpage. My friend took his the same day I did mine (at the same center too) and found out that he passed yesterday (his name was on the BRN website). When I went to check mine, my name cannot be found “no results found”. That probably means I didn’t pass. But just wondering, has anyone had to wait longer (more than 3 business days) for their name to appear on the BRN website before they found out that they passed? I’m trying to find some shred of hope that I passed
August 6th, 2010 at 4:40 pm
@shennell, tnks for everything, i have started studying the kapkan book, i thought as much, i did not study the book at first, i only thought as u did too frm reading ur response, my other question is how long did u wait to do the test again after the official 45 days wait period. keep me in ur prayers too. pls response back, cos am trying to do it for the final time.
2 TERI, I TOOK THE NCLEX RN, BUT AM AN LPN FIRST , IF U GET THE SAUNDERS IT HELPS TOO, THATS WHAT I USED FOR LPN. I ALSO GAVE IT TO A COUSIN OF MINE THAT FAILED AT FIRST AND SHE USED IT AND THEN PASSED THE SECOND TIME AROUND. GOOD LUCK, KEEP HOPE ALIVE ,U WILL PASS.
August 6th, 2010 at 6:44 pm
I found out that I passed! Firm believer in the pvt now
August 7th, 2010 at 12:07 pm
I must say I’ve been searching through all the blogs and any piece of material that I could find regarding when I would find out if I passed. The waiting is the worst, who would have thought 48 hours would seem like 48 days!!! I tried the pearson vue trick, and luckily I had the “good” message appear. I was reluctant to believe this, because I thought I’d be the 1% that it didn’t work for. IT WORKS. I found out today that I passed
I’m officaly a RN now. I couldn’t be happier. I tested on Aug 5, and thought I’d never find out….I highly suggest that if you’re at your wits end waiting for the results TRY THE TRICK
August 7th, 2010 at 4:33 pm
its me terri thanks godly i need the help thanks
August 8th, 2010 at 3:19 am
I just took the Nclex Pn on August 4th and the computer shut off @ 85!I left the center convinced that I failed.I cried for 4 hours and then I found out about the California nightmare of waiting 4 - 6 weeks to receive your results in the mail!!!! They have got to be kidding! I have no idea what to do with myself - Can’t eat! Can’t sleepy! This wait is going to suck sooooo bad!!!The ONLY consolation is is listening to other fellow nurses like yourselves because no one can relate to how awful it feels after taking a test like that!BTW I did the pearson vue trick and I got the good pop up- so I am just praying it is TRUE. I guess I will have to wait to find out and I will keep you all posted while I wait for the results!
August 9th, 2010 at 8:18 pm
I am due to do the NCLEX RN on Wednesday August 12, can anyone tell me if it is ok to carry pencil/pen and blank paper into the exam. I like to do my calculations using paper but not sure if it is allowed.
August 10th, 2010 at 3:17 am
Hey Lucy. Pearsonvue testing centers will supply you a wipe off board and pen to take in with you if you request it & you can do your calculations on it. Also,they will supply with optional ear plugs as well.You are not allowed to take anything in their with you that the testing center does not actually supply you with. I hope that answered your questions.Good Luck on your exam Lucy!!
August 10th, 2010 at 4:36 am
thanks helps alot.
August 10th, 2010 at 9:25 am
I took my exam here in the philippines last 8/9/10. I patiently answered each question, ended at number 75 and really not certain If I did it. Tried the PVT and received a good pop-up. I hope this is real! I still have to wait for few more weeks! Long time of agony! Good luck to all of us!
August 10th, 2010 at 2:01 pm
Hey Madz- I feel your pain!I have another 4-6 weeks!!I have read a ton of comments on so many sites and they ALL say when you receive the GOOD POP UP and it won’t let you pay- Then you PASSED!!I really hope the PVT is real too! Good luck & hang in there & think POSITIVE THOUGHTS!
August 10th, 2010 at 7:12 pm
Susan thanks for the encouragement! I’ll keep on praying that I passed.
August 11th, 2010 at 5:22 am
Hi everyone!!! This is G & I believe I posted something dated 8/2/10 if you can scroll up, you can see what I posted… I didnt believe w/ the PVT trick, but when I went to re-register, I got the pop-up that said “Cannot made another registration at this time” then I got a mail today that I PASSED!!! That PVT trick is really accurate.. THank God b/c that pop-up was just a relieved at the same time, it was ACCURATE!!! So whoever goes to the pop-up, that means you passed & its already proven!!! Correct me if I’m wrong if theres anybody that went to CC page & passed the test… But whoever who have taken the test & anxiously waiting for the result, just get your mind out from it & do the trick, it’ll will help… Goodluck to y’all who are taking the test & who have taken the test & still waiting for the result & congratulation who passed… I’m just so happy that I’m a Nurse now!!! Im open for asking advices what are the techniques to pass the test ;)))
August 13th, 2010 at 6:01 pm
Hey you guys - I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got my letter in the mail today and it said I Passed!! WOO WHOOOO!! I cant believe it!!! THE PVT WORKS!!I BELIEVE IT!! I’M FINALLY A NURSE NOW!!! I really wanted to let everyone know that going to this site is THE ONLY THING that made me feel better!! Thanks to all YOU FUTURE NURSES OUT THEIR! YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!! Thank you for the support!Good Luck to ALL OF you and just believe & trust in yourself!! Dreams really do come true !!!By the way, any of you in Cali that are worried about the wait to receive your letter from the Board - I took the NCLEX on Aug.4th and received my letter from the Board Today -Aug.13th(Friday,the 13th - MY LUCKY DAY !!) For some reason it only took 10 days for me- so hopefully they are moving faster up there in Sacramento! Cuz the waiting in Cali certainly does SUCK!! All of you have helped me so much get through this tough time- So I will check in periodically if anyone needs advice, words of encouragement, or wants to ask me questions i will check in and do my best to help you out!! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!!
August 14th, 2010 at 1:10 pm
I took the test two days ago. I think that the whole waiting thing is a pretty lame thing for the testing board to do since they know the results immediately. Then on top of that they make you pay 9 dollars to view the quick results 48 hours later. I wish there was a way I could stick it to pearson vue… Anyways my cpu shut off at 75, and the pearson vue trick took me to the good screen. It seemed like I guessed on alot, but I also felt that I knew many of the correct answers. I completed Kaplan, and feel that it prepared me very well. I’ll let you guys know if that person vue trick works. Good luck and relax.
August 18th, 2010 at 12:03 am
First of all…I have never written on a blog like this before…but I must say that it is the only thing that is providing me any comfort during my waiting period! I took NCLEX-RN yesterday. I have never felt so incompetent before in my life….it was terrible. I did the PVT and I got the ”good screen” but I have to say that it is not much comfort. To anyone reading this who is waiting too….just know that you are not alone. Will post as soon as I find out my results.
August 18th, 2010 at 5:56 pm
i took NCLEX-PN yesterday it cut off at 167 and im sick as a dog..its horrible waiting for something like this..i did the PVT and did get screen that said you have already took it etc. And after reading all of the comment it makes me feel better. I CANNOT WAIT any longer the suspense is KILLING me..Good luck everyone!!
August 19th, 2010 at 4:03 pm
Just to re assure everyone, I have gone to sooo many sites and they all say that same thing.THE PVT WORKS! If you get the good “POP UP” that states you can NOT register @ this time & it won’t let you pay to reschedule a test- YOU PASSED!! Right now all those people should try to relax!!! After walking out of a test like that- EVERYONE feels beaten up!! It’s a hard test, as it should be! We are saving peoples lives as NURSES & that test SHOULD be hard otherwise EVERYONE would be able to do it!!GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU THAT ARE STILL WAITING AND HANG IN THERE!!!
August 22nd, 2010 at 5:14 am
Hello Future Nurses!
I took the Nclex Pn on Friday and I am waiting for my results. Do Not I REPEAT DO NOT schedule your test for a Friday unless you want to have the worst weekend of your entire life! I did try the PVT and i got the good pop up but I must admit that it only makes me feel a little bit better. I need to see my results to believe that I passed. That was the hardest exam I have ever taken! When I left there I felt like I had just taken a mental beat down. I wish you all the very best of luck and I will let you know how I did. By the way, I am sorry for you California test takers… 4 weeks!!! How horrible! I’m from Ohio and 2 business days is bad enough
August 22nd, 2010 at 7:31 pm
Today (Sunday September 22) I found out that I passed my nclex pn. What a relief
Because it was a weekend I used the Nclex quick results because the board of nursing doesn’t post resuslts on the weekend. Exactly 48 hours after my test was over. Literally, to the minute, the pearson vue site said my results were available, I paid $7.95 and I found out I passed. My screen had shut off at 85 questions and I was sure I failed. Good luck to all of you. Dont give up:)
September 1st, 2010 at 8:55 am
PVT really works! With God’s grace, I’m now a USRN!
September 6th, 2010 at 3:10 am
Congrats Madz!!!So happy to hear you passed man. Your prayers were answered!!God bless you and all you do!!!!!!Good luck to the rest of you waiting for your results and have faith & don’t ever give up!
September 7th, 2010 at 6:08 pm
Hi guys!
I just took my exam last Friday, Sept. 3, 2010. And I didn’t purchased the Quick Results. Can anyone please help me where should I check it? This has been a big leap for me. And I’m really nervous as well as excited if I pass it. Anyway, thanks everyone and good luck to us all..
September 8th, 2010 at 8:11 am
just took my test yesterday and the computer shut off at 149, i was reaaly panic when i finished that maybe i failed, got home and couldn’t sleep, then i tried the PVT, and it came up with the pop that i need to contact the board, does this mean that i passed?
September 8th, 2010 at 6:10 pm
I just took my NCLEX RN exam (for the 2nd time). I graduated nursing school over a year ago but found out I was pregnant right after so my whole life has been on hold to focus on my son. I took the test 2 months ago, got all 265 questions and failed. I just re-tested today and the computer shut off at 136 questions. I got a lot of prioritization, medication questions and no med math… I took the Hurst Review (which I liked, but was really expensive). I hope I passed!! I need to work, my sons father is a deadbeat and I have serious bills to pay! I keep trying the trick but it’s saying being processed or something which means its being reviewed…
Feel sick to my stomach!
congrats to all that have passed!!!!
September 25th, 2010 at 3:29 pm
So I just took the NCLEX PN yesterday at 3. It only took me about an hour to go through the entire thing including the survery at the end. I got 85 questions. I had atleast 5 or 6 SATA, and meds I never even heard of. I walked out of there with my eyes filled with tears, the 2 hour drive home felt like an eternity and I didnt say one word to my husband. I log on and tried the PVT and it gave me the good pop up. I was wondering has anyone ever got the good one if they failed? I never thought in a million years I could of failed this, I got all As and Bs through all my classes. Is anyone from VA who also knows how long the wait is since we dont have quick results, I took the test on a friday evening.
November 8th, 2010 at 11:38 pm
nclex rn today 8 am. stop
good pop up all day long. stop
i hope im not the exception. stop
will let you know asap. stop
November 10th, 2010 at 5:47 pm
i did my today but i went to pvt and i was able to register again. could that mean that i failed. plz somebody help am dying here.
November 11th, 2010 at 7:46 pm
Hey, I took the NCLEX-RN on 11/10/10 at 8am….it stopped at 75 questions and I felt for sure that I had failed. I needed more questions to prove I knew my stuff!! I don’t remember the exact amount, but I got tons of priority questions, and SATA. I tried the pearsonvue trick, and I got, what everybody calls the “good pop-up”. So….I hope I passed. I have been going insane, overanalyzing all the questions I had, and feeling like I’m going to vomit! This is the longest 48 hours of my life!!
December 23rd, 2010 at 1:05 pm
Well, just like EVERYBODY else, I tried the Pearson Vue Trick and I got the “good pop up as everyone talks about”, but I failed the NCLEX RN the first time. This is my second and though I studied, almost NONE of the questions were recognizable to me. I missed LOTS of questions..I looked up about 4 things after I got out and know I got them wrong, dead wrong. I got the first 4 or 5 right and thats all I know I got right. I had tons of priority questions and maybe 7 SATA questions. I really feel terrible..it cut off somewhere around 75 as I wasnt paying attention to the question number but I am certain it was mid 70’s. If the pearson Vue so called trick is wrong, TRUST ME, I am going to post it on here. Nothing worse than getting false hope. I literally cried a couple times because I have worked so hard and so long and feel like I just cannot get past the NCLEX. A BSN with a 3.56 gradepoint average means nothing, not without passing this exam! First time I took it, I was able to register for the exam again on pearson vue site immediately after I got home. This time I cannot, I have one ounce of hope that maybe I got lucky!? I will report back here.
December 23rd, 2010 at 1:07 pm
Let me say this again..I GOT THE GOOD POP UP THIS TIME>.the first time I failed it and was able to pay again for the exam immediatley through pearson vue.
December 25th, 2010 at 11:13 am
WOW! It really is true! PVT is VERY accurate. I passed..and quick results are truly available in 48 hours..even on CHRISTMAS DAY..because I got my results today..Christmas DAy! Merry Christmas!
December 30th, 2010 at 1:45 pm
I had to change my PV account they wouldn’t let me login to my old account it said I needed a separate web account…Think this is d/t the PVT? It let me sign in and took me to the credit card..265 questions and very nauseated took it at 1pm yesterday??????????
January 5th, 2011 at 2:07 am
hey, guys! i took mine (nclex-rn) yesterday in makati, phils. man oh man! was it the most difficult exam ever! i can relate to all of you who posted here. the computer shut down at number 75. i left the testing area in a state of shock. i do not have any clue as to how i did. i felt as though all the questions i came across did not appear on the practice cd’s i used prior to taking this exam. it took me approximately two hours. my “unofficial” results should be available either tomorrow or friday. the official results will be mailed from the board of nursing in michigan. i hope and pray to God that i pass. have a good one, guys! blessings to all those who took the exam recently and will be taking it in the near future.
January 7th, 2011 at 9:01 pm
Hey, I took my NCLEX-RN today. I had to do all 265 questions. It took me 3 hours with no breaks. I have been a wreak all day. I live in Cali. We have to wait up to 4 weeks for our results. Those of you who only have to wait 48 hours are lucky. I found this website in desperation as I am sure all of you have done. I did the PVT and got the good message. I am still concerned but feel a little better now. I will come back and post when I get my results……in 4 weeks.
January 25th, 2011 at 1:21 pm
Hey, My license just posted today. I passed. The PVT works. It took a little over two weeks to get my results.
February 25th, 2011 at 6:51 am
Why everybody keep on talking about Pearsonvue trick? is it available for the person who sit the exam outside of the US? I sat the exam yesterday and shut off my com at 85. But the following day, I tried to re-registered again and able to register..so is this mean ..I failed?? Really sick of NCLEX if I really failed…wasted time..
March 16th, 2011 at 10:48 am
I took NCLEX/RN in CA on Monday 3/14 at 8am. Computers had technical difficulties so test was delayed an hour, they gave option to reschedule but I stayed- I didnt want to wait any longer but kept thinking maybe this is a sign …Went ahead with test 4.5 hours 265 questions. Waiting has been stressful tried PVT if its correct then I think I passed. Will let you know if PVT worked for me. Goodluck to all!! Stay positive

I took my NCLEX-PN on friday, March 25, 2011 at 9am in pasadena, california, and computer shut off at 88 questions, I am so so scared, going out of my mind, I did the PVT and it took me to the payment section fo credit card information. when I first tried logging in I had to redo account pw/user name, because it said I needed a separate account just like (Angel Says:

I had to change my PV account they wouldn’t let me login to my old account it said I needed a separate web account…Think this is d/t the PVT? It let me sign in and took me to the credit card..265 questions and very nauseated took it at 1pm yesterday??????????) so I have no clue if that is true, it’s been 5 business days since I took it, Please can someone please let me know if anyone did pass with that message.

How come no one here posts that the PVU trick took them to the CC and they failed? Everyone only posts that they received the pop-up. How can you gauge the “exploit” if it is all one sided.
Folks, if you did not get the PVU “pop-up” and it went to the credit card, let us all know if you passed or failed so we can trully understand this “exploit”. If you did fail, we are all sorry to hear that, but don’t be embarrassed that you did. Your results will benifit many here and you will do much good.

I don’t think i did good, I prepared for the test in 5 days,I just wanted to take it b4 the test was goin to chg(4/1/11).I tried the PVU trick and it tells me to contact the Board,good pop up,i am sooooooo nervous. its already been 3 weeks waiting. It just seems like I can’t handle it any more.Good luck to everybody who are waiting for the result and congrats to the ones who passed it.

Ok, so called the board they told me they processed my result and mailed it yesterday,I CHECKED MY MAIL THIS MORNING and there was no mail from the state. is there any other way to figure out if I passed or not. the wait is killing me.
May 7th, 2011 at 10:17 pm
I took my boards for PN. It shut down at 87. I know one thing I want to know if I passed now!!! I have mixed emotions in my brain, very up tight. Some states are very lucky they can get right away results? Gesh why cant I. By mail takes forever?? Anyone ever recieved results by mail??? does it really take a longtime???

If you have had to change your account username and/or password for Pearson Vue before you try the “trick” and your username and/or password is now different than the one you originally registered for the NCLEX with initially, could that affect the “trick” working for you? Since your sign in info is not the same?
June 9th, 2011 at 2:52 pm
Anyone?? Please??
June 23rd, 2011 at 4:29 am
can somebody help enlighten me? is there any possibility that your NCLEX RN unofficial quick result would be different from the result that will be mailed to you by your BON?
i took the nclex rn last june 2nd and paid for the unofficial quick result…i am just wondering if there is any chance that pearson vue posted a ‘different’ result since it is still considered unofficial?
June 30th, 2011 at 11:35 pm
i took the exam last june 28 and the nwaiting is really killing me….i tried the PV trick and i want to know if its rfeliable as in 95%…anyone please share how they went about with the ordeal of waiting for the rsults..thanks

Hi… Im from CA took my NCLEX-RN on the 5th and dont know if i pass… It was a really hard test got a lot of SATA and multiple choice, no math, no drag to order, no audio, and no pictures…got 75 questions and felt horrible after that…. I have faith in God and I hope I passed… Does anyone know how long it takes to know since CA doesn’t participate in the Quick results?

Hi, I have taken my NCLEX RN on 7/8/11 which was Friday. I finished with 76 questions and felt pretty good when I walked out. I thought questions weren’t too hard but answers were tricky. I mostly had SATA questions with a few prioritization, couple of pharm and infection control, and 2 med math questions which were super easy. I agree that there is no way to prepare for the exam except to study throughout nursing school. I tried to re-register and I get “results pending” pop-up. It is very frustrating not to be able to see either “good” or “bad” pop-up. I’m here in Cali and I can’t believe such a busy brn doesn’t offer the quick results option!
Now after reading the posts I’m having doubts. I feel like a lot of my questions were easy and that scares me to death. I have studied so hard throughout nursing school to fail! I’m really hoping to see the “good pop-up” tomorrow or Monday!

i found out that I passed…the PVT worked for me!!!… had to wait 3 days but i guess it is not that bad compared to people who have waited a wk for their names to be posted on BRN… so I’am officially a RN… Yay!!!
July 23rd, 2011 at 12:02 am
OMG!! I had my NCLES RN today 07/22/11 a day after my birthday…I had all 265 questions, The questions werent hard but tricky….I feel like i only knew about 10 questions corretly, others were educational guesses… I used the PVT and I am a gettn a pop up saying, contact ur state bord…so i dont know if I passed or Fail…But I feel very confident, not because I knew the questions but beause I have a living GOD whom I have left everything to….

Some time before, I really needed to buy a good car for my firm but I didn’t earn enough money and could not buy something. Thank goodness my dude suggested to try to get the loans from trustworthy creditors. Thus, I did so and was satisfied with my commercial loan.
