? About Retaking NCLEX-RN

Published

So I took the NCLEX-RN, for the first time, on August 21 and failed :down:. I paid another $200 to Pearson Vue right away (to be able to test again) after I got my failing test results... and I THOUGHT that I would receive a new ATT after my 45 days were up, but I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN ONE!!! So, my question is, DO I HAVE TO FILL OUT THE APPLICATION AGAIN FOR IL BOARD OF NURSING AND PAY THE $88? OR DO I ONLY HAVE TO PAY THE $88 TO RECIEVE MY NEW ATT? OR WAS I SUPOSE TO RECEIVE MY ATT ALREADY?

PLEASE HELP ME

THANK YOU!

Just pay the Pearson Fee of $200 and the Continental Testing fee and your ATT should be on your email if that is your preferred method within 2 days or less than a week. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Hey Thanks! I actually figured it out yesterday ( I think ). We will see if I get my ATT soon. I decided to dig up my papers I got 60 days ago when I found out I failed (which had been thrown somewhere in disgrace about the test). Then there was directions on there about how to sign up again. I just filled out a short application with Cont. Testing... thank God it wasn't the original one I sent the first time! Then I paid my $88 and Pearson 200 (which I had done already). Hopefully I did everything right! I will see soon, I guess.

Thanks for replying :yeah: This was my first thread that I started. :D lol I'm new.

Hello. I also just recently took the NCLEX-RN end of july and found out through the unofficial results that I did not pass. :( I am a little bit confused with the process of reapplying to retake the test. Do I have to get re-fingerprinted and everything all over again? Do I have to wait for the official results to come in the mail? I really want to take this test as soon as the 45 days are up to be certified in Illinois. Also, I moved back to Wisconsin to live with my parents temporarily, is there a way I can take the test in Wisconsin but still be licensed in Illinois?...and if I have to get refingerprinted can I do that in Wisconsin or do I have to go back to Illinois?? Who do I all have to pay and sign up with?? Somebody help!!

Hi, saw your message and figured to reply basically about the retake since I have done the nclex twice already what I did was just apply in the continental testing (that’s for the IL BON) paid the $98 fee and together with that applied in Pearson Vue and paid the $200 you have to do it all together. Application are all done online through their website

http://continentaltestinginc.com/product/illinois-041-registered-professional-nurse-rn/

https://portal.ncsbn.org/

all of the cost will be $298 and after that you will then wait for a few days 1-2 business days you’ll receive your ATT and be able to schedule your exam. If you have your CPR results instructions are in there.

I have gone through ur response. Thanks.

But they send me an email from CTS to fill out application form and to send those through mail with my signature even after paying my fee98$.

So, i should wait for the application to get confirmed or can i apply for my ATT through pearson vue??

Please help.

Hello everyone! I'm a newbie here. I am a retaker of NCLEX-RN Illinois.  I would like to ask if there's anyone here who knows the EIN of Continental Testing Service Inc., I badly needed it to process my bank draft in a bank here in the Philippines. 

I've been calling Continental Tesing Services Inc., several times and sending my queries thru email but I got no answer from them.

I hope you guys could help me with this matter. Thank you!
