Just waiting for my fail letter


I can't believe my name is not on the BON. I am sure that for sure I failed. By now, my name has not been on the CA BON. Everyone here, I have noticed from CA. have already received their results.
I know I have told everyone to be patient about their results in waiting, and I have told everyone to pick up the pieces if he/she failed, but I am really upset today. The website updated jul 8th, and I am not up there. It shouldn't take this long, although CA. takes up to 10-days 1 month, but realistically!
I read from start to finish on saunders, did 100 questions a day, since may. I even learned how to answer a question by making a guess with the strategies I learned with Kaplan. Once again, I will have to put my life on hold! and re-take this exam....
Devastated in CA.

I can relate with you, but the most important thing is that, it is ok to not pass the test, all you have to do is to get up and go, you can defeat the monster. I recommend Kaplan, I did it for both my LPN and RN and I passed both times at the minimum questions. I only read the book and practice the Q-bank online, that's it.

I bought the Q-bank, but make sure you practice using the strategies, after practice, practice, and practice, they will stick to your mind and will pop up in the test automatically.

Yes, my file is complete. Just waiting for the letter in the mail. I enver hear anyone having the letter officially passing before the name is on the board.

We used to see it regularly last year on here. It depends on the person checking your file. If you haven't heard anything after 2 weeks ring them and ask if it has been sent but can take longer than 10 days to get results even on website
