I got the bad pop-up. I took the exam yesterday 8am and checked for the PVT trick 4hrs and 12hrs later. Still it declined my card. (Changed expiration date but correct info)
When can I retake the exam? Do I need to wait for the official results before I can retake the exam? Please need your help. It was my 1st time to take it.
Anyone? Please help. Really determined to prepare for my 2nd nclex.

Read my post under this forum, I posted lots of great ideas and tips for future test takers. I passed my nclex-pn exam in 85 question in less than an hour, on the first try! I HIGHLY recommend that you read my forum post. I will say this, I used UWORLD! Good luck next time around
Is it same for RN? I'm planning to take UWORLD and Lacharity.

You have to wait 45 days to register again. You have to submit an application to the BRN, pay their fee, and then you'll get an ATT once you pay Pearson again.
Do I need to wait for the official results first? Because i'm from CA. They said the result will be 6-8 weeks. Or can I just apply now so they can start processing my application again?
You can try to apply now through online BRN if you want. The official result will also contain a Candidate Performance Report, which shows what areas you need to improve on. I know CA says 6 weeks, but usually it takes 1-2 weeks...they seem to be moving fast this month.
Oh i see. So i don't need to wait for the official result? Because I tried PVT trick 24hrs after and still it declined the card. I used 2 cards with less than $200 and correct info and declined. May I know where can I apply online? So I can process it and just wait for the ATT to arrive.
The Nclex is scored twice: immediately after the exam and 24 hours after it has been reviewed by Pearson. The PVT is not always right, so you never know if you passed or not until you get the official result. I would highly suggest waiting just to prevent any errors that may happen.

That website is where you can fill out an online application for the BRN in California.

Sorry that you got the bad pop up too I also got the bad pop up about a month ago and did the trick the same way you did. I'm in CA too. I got my letter of failure 8 days after my test, so i would wait for it if i were you just so you know for sure and dont pay prematurely.
Also just FYI ill be at my 45 day mark next week and still have no ATT yet so expect to wait a while.

Thank you! I guess I'll wait for the official result first.

After you got your letter you re-apply right away? Did you do it online the one mentioned by SkyDrift?
