Pearson Vue Trick was WRONG!!!!!!!

What state did you take NCLEX in?

My understanding of the "last question" rule (if you go all the way to 265) is that it doesn't matter if you got it right or wrong, it's whether or not the question itself was at or above passing level. So even if you got that question wrong, it obviously was considered an advanced, critical thinking question, because you made it!

Hi fellow nurses-

Just took the NCLEX today and had about 170+ questions before it shut off on me. I tried PVT about two and a half hours later and it took me to the CC page. I'm seeing mixed reviews on here about PVT working and for some it not being true (getting to the CC page but they passed), and it's probably the only shred of optimism I have for me passing...I feel absolutely horrible like somebody ripped my heart out and stomped on it. I have not been able to stop crying since I got home and tried PVT. I know my chances of passing are probably slim to none at this point if I am at the CC page.

I used Kaplan for prep, and I will not do it again. I don't really feel as though what they taught in the course was really helpful for me today. I am going to be getting my refund for sure if it winds up being that I failed. I can't see myself having to sit through it a second time, because obviously it didn't work the first time. Will probably use Saunders, Lippincott, and other random NCLEX things I find...

Fingers crossed I'm in the 1% that the PVT didn't work for...

Took my NCLEX RN yesterday morning at 8:00 am. Did the pearson vue trick- went to cc page. No official results, but I'm positive I failed. Maybe nursing isn't where I should be working. SO discouraged and disgusted with myself. I'm an incompetent loser. No way am I doing this again. Studying is not worth it- I need to move on with my life.

@Madeline:

Don't despair!!! Stop stop stop with the self loathing!!! PLEASE! You made it through nursing school! FREAKING NURSING SCHOOL! You have put yourself through WAY too much to doubt your awesomeness now, especially over a single test that you can RETAKE! The only way you'll have failed is if you don't try again!

You're in the grieving stage right now, and I respect that. But please, I beg you, reschedule that sucker. Get your study aids (I recommend Kaplan, FWIW) and get back on that horse.

You can do this!

Took my exam yesterday and cane home to immediately check the PVT. At first I got the pop up stating my results were on hold. An hour or two later I went through to the cc page. I'm not completely heart broken yet bc I know there is still a chance that I passed. I was one of the top students in my classes, Signa Theta Tau. I can't imagine not having passed.

Today I went to the BON website to re-register for application for licensure but received an error that I was already in the system and unable to register. I'm hoping this is a good sign.

Anyone else make it to cc page and still pass? Or get the same error message on the BON website?

Quick results aren't available until tomorrow so my wonderful boyfriend blow dried my hair for me this morning (so sweet! he was terrible at it but just the fact that he wanted to pamper me was so perfect). He is taking me out on a fancy date to keep my mind off it.

You are in NO WAY a loser and never let a TEST define you. Testing anxiety is real. Its horrible but you can do this.

I have been reading all of these comments and I thought I'd drop my two cents in. I took the NCLEX yesterday and in Wisconsin I got an email from the board today saying I passed. I did the Pearson Vue trick twice yesterday and it worked for me. Take it as you will. Maybe some people got stuck in a glitch or maybe it doesn't work at all. In Wisconsin you can also look up a professional license and see your application status to be sure you really passed. Unfortunately it is only updated on Wednesdays so I won't appear there until next week.

Hope this helps.

I wasn't sure how I did because it shut off after 75 questions and it only took me 91 minutes.

ATI reps told us in school that they look at the last 60 questions if you go all the way and see if you were above the passing line

I really hope it is wrong. I took the nclex today and I got timed out about 90-100 questions. I tried the Pvt and it led me to the cc page. so now I'm really depressed. I might lose my residency at this point.

i got the CC page too and I am one of the top in my program...:/

I'll know for sure tomorrow, but I haven't stopped crying for the past day. I've never been so sad.

did you find out if you've passed? i tested on june 26 and tried the pvt trick and took me to the cc page. I dont know how i could have failed this time around (2ND time test taker). I studied so hard and my comp. shut off at 190 questions.
