I walked into taking my NCLEX on Friday 2/16 thinking I would get 75 questions because several of my classes were passing at 75... WRONG. I got the full 265! IT. WAS. BRUTAL. I advise not to have ANY expectations of getting 75, prepare for the 265 and the possibility of sitting for 5+ hours.
After the exam I felt defeated. I called my husband on the way home to vent and was confident that I failed. I asked him to do the PVT for me since he was near a computer. He submitted the payment and it initially stated that I couldn't schedule an exam because I had an "open" registration. It wasn't the "good pop up" nor the "bad pop up" and I was confused as to what it meant. One minute later, I got the confirmation email from Pearson Vue stating that my exam had been delivered (about 20 minutes after taking the NCLEX). My husband resubmitted the payment and I got the GOOD POP UP. So I don't think you have to wait the full 24 hours to do the PVT, as long as you receive the email stating your results have been delivered.
Saturday 2/17 at 10am - Good pop up.
Saturday 2/17 at 11pm - Good pop up.
Sunday 2/18 at 11am - Good pop up.
My classmates have been getting their results within 48 hours on business days. Since I took my test on a Friday 2/16 and today is Monday 2/19 (President's day), I assume I will not be getting my results until Wednesday 2/21. The state of CA does not participate in Quick Results.
I haven't heard of anyone getting a false positive yet. I will give an update once I get my official results!!!
