Frustrated!

Hello! So I took my NCLEX-RN February 23, 2015 in California and failed...I got 265 questions, a small variety of questions. Who do you see first, like 10 sata, one OB question, 6 meds, 2 pictures, and delegation and was confused/upset when I left...did I not learn enough from nursing school that I did that bad? Either way I would have accepted if I failed or passed. It's not the end of the world and I'm a very optimistic person I'll get it next time. Ultimately I failed and I got my CPR about 7-10 days later. I busted my butt with ati the first attempt, then took the three week course of NCSBN program did alright 70-80% on the questions, felt I was ready when my day came. On April 16, 2015 I took my second attempt and the computer shut off at 75 questions. I was feeling pretty good, majority of people Iv talked to and what I have read, said they all passed at 75? This time around I got some delegation, a few who do you see first, one cardiac strip, one drag and drop, a few interventions, I think 10 sata again and close to the end the last 10 questions were on meds that were easy to break down, the last question I got was pretty easy? I walked out happy...waited the 48 hours and nothing on breeze. On Saturday evening I saw two posts on IG of people's results, I almost lost it and was sure I failed again. It is now almost a week that has gone by and no results still. I need help from anyone who has been in the position or knows how the processing goes or be blunt and tell me I failed? Also some advice on what the next step is? I'm staying positive that it is a learning experience but two spectrums of the test and failed both doesn't settle easy with me? Thanks for reading:)

    Are you sure you failed? Did you try the PVT after 24 hours? Anything could happen!

    I need help too! Is it for sure that if it takes your payment, it fail??

    It is not 100% but that is why you should wait after 24 hours since it is scored twice. But normally, it hasn't been wrong after the 23 hour mark.

    Just a quick update. after the longest 1 week of my life i finally saw my name on breeze and i got a license. PVT worked for me. I checked it after 24 hours and got good pop up. To God be all the glory.

    Hey Kayteen. i just wanna share with you that i used kaplan as my study guide and also La charity's prioritization, delegation and assessment book. Those are the only resources i used. Initially i used Saunders but i feel like Kaplan's questions are more similar to Nclex. I stopped using saunders eventually. Also, keep in mind that you must know your content as it is a big advantage when studying your rationales.

    with that being said, i wish you good luck on your journey. keep striving and aim high. Good luck and God Bless you.

    When it takes your money it doesn't necessarily mean you failed. People have passed and it took their money. That's why you're suppose to use a card without enough money on it.

    Can you retry the PVT with a different card without 200 dollars?

    I live in california, I'll wait to see my results. But I did get charged again on pearsonvue.

    Yeah k tried a card that did not have enough funds by it still charged me lol so I guess I over drafted but put money back so I didn't get a penalty

    It's been over 3 weeks and I still haven't gotten my results! I went to 205 with sata question. Why the wait if I failed?

  • Quote

    i suggest to just wait until you get your candidate performance report that way you will see which area you are lacking on. But then again, do not based your results via PVT. although i got the good pop up i was never at rest and i was always anxious. i got my name up on breeze this morning and that relieved everything.

    but yeah, if i were you i would wait for the final verdict when i receive something from the mail, that way everything will be confirmed. thats just me though. at the end of the day you can do what ever you like :)
