First of all i would like to thank God, my friends and family and of course all every body here on allnurses. I'm a foreign grad so I started by registering with CGFNS for evaluation of my transcript. then I had to take the TOEFL exams even though all my education was in english including textbooks. The BON I registered needed me to take it because the country i had my education from was not part of the countries they exempt from the english proficiency test. I took the TOEFL test and scored 90 which was higher than the minimum required score of 82 so I became eligible to take the Nclex after submitting my application together with my FBI and BCI checks. I registered with pearsonvue and after about 7 weeks i received my ATT from My BON. I scheduled and took the exams on August 10, 4days before my birthday. the computer shut down after 210Q I felt good because I thought i was very sure of my last question. I got home tried the trick and it took me straight to the CC page. I felt like I sword had be driven through my heart. but I put myself together after 3days and started studying again registered with pearsonvue and submitted another application to my BON in about a week I received my ATT and CPR. my CPR showed that I was near passing in 4 areas, above passing 3 areas and and below passing in one area.I did not want to wait too long so i rescheduled to take it again on september 27. 47days after my first attempt. I used the same resources i used the first time solving and reviewing more questions.On the test day I got to the center 30 mins before my appointment time. After 75Q the computer shut down. i got the good pop up after doing the PVU trick, got my quick results 48 hrs later and today I received my Official results from the BON
resources i used
Kaplan (did all the question trainers and sample test). good resource for answering questions
Saunders 5th edition( solve 1000+questions) good resource for content
and for those of you in Ohio I also used Mark klimek Nclex RN review class. (this class really helped me a lot.
I hope this long story of mine will encourage some you preparing to take the exam any time soon. You can make it if you made it through nursing school. All the best
