Didn't use the PVT trick or quick results

Do you know what PVT stands for?

What is the website for both the NCBSN and BON?

I think most people use the quick results if available in their state. The wait is too nerve wracking not to do it. Loads of people don't use the pvt. I did, but when I did it was the older version of the trick...If I took it the way the pvt is now, I wouldn't have done it.

I didn't even know about the PVT when I took the NCLEX but I paid for the quick results. I don't know how long it takes for license to be posted. Even though I know about the PVT now, I wouldn't do it. I would much rather pay the $8 for accurate results than something that is iffy.

Same, I used the wait and see approach. I didn't try the PVT and don't even have quick results in my state. Suspense was too much though! It posted on the 4th day sometime before 3am when I checked on my BON's website.

I did not do the PVT, I did not want to chance the $200 if I didn't pass...also I didn't really have an extra $200 to spare. My license was posted 48hrs later.

So, I took my test and decided not to do the PVT trick or purchase the quick results. I had decided that the NCBSN was not getting another dime out of me. I would just wait the 3 days to see if my name showed up on the BON. It did.

Just an FYI: Pearson Vue (which administers the exam and registers applicants for it) charges $8 for Quick Results; it has no connection to NCSBN (the entity that creates the NCLEX).

NCSBN.org. Every State has its own website for the BoN (and for that, Google is your friend)
