Depends on the state you applied to will vary from 45 days to 90 days. Yes you will need to pay pearsonvue again and get a new att to sit NCLEX again

Every time you test, you pay.

Yeah I know that you have to pay each time, but I was not sure if you could use the same ATT letter. Another question... I am not able to get an appointment to test on the website (pearsonvue), that can be done after I get the ATT letter right?? Thanks!!!

Correct you can not arrange a date without a ATT

Hi Sikozis, I am in TX too, and have my test scheduled in a couple of weeks. Each time you need to test, your first move is to apply with TX BoN, then they will let you know when you can pay Pearson Vue, then Pearson Vue will send you an ATT letter, at which time you will schedule your date.

This is my 4th time taking the test, and probably the best revision I have done to date. From this revision, I realize that the other times, I was not truly prepared. Get right back in it, you can start the process now, application, fingerprinting, but you will not be able to test for 45 days.

Good luck......

So I have to do EVERYTHING again... the fingerprinting?? I have already pay the exam on pearsonvue.

Each BON is different but usually you don't have to pay for fingerprints again if you recently submitted some. There may be a small fee to the BON in regards to resitting the exam otherwise you just have to pay pearsonvue again and once told to by the BON they will send you a new ATT

So I need to send the $ 139 fee to the BON and then wait for the ATT. I already pay the Nclex at pearsonvue.

I can only say from my experience, but each time I have taken NCLEX, I had to register with BON first, who in turn notifies Pearson Vue that you are eligible to test. As well as if you paid for your ATT, Pearson Vue will notify BON, and they in turn will let Pearson Vue know if you are eligible to test. This whole system is design to get money out of people.......dont get me started.......lol

Wait and see......lets hope not, give BON a call in the morning, this way you will hear it from the boards themselves.

Sikozis, yes, you will need to pay $139 and fingerprinting again. When you get your printout from TX BON, it will have the information in there what you will need to do. It sucks I know, good luck. I am now at $1,000 in the hole, I only pray that this time, this is it.........good luck.
