Yes after 2 yrs of graduating lvn school I took the nclex on Aug 6th, 2015 and I just got my results in today and I freakin passed first try with 205 questions and used all 5 hrs! Lol ahhh I'm still in disbelief that I pass...I for sure thought I failed. And yes the pvt trick works! Checked it after 5 min after my test and I got the good pop up! This has been a long journey and I needed to have faith in the lord and myself. Struggling to start over and study this exam after being out of school for 2 yrs. It took a lot of sacrifice and patience. God is good!ðŸ™

Did you ever contact BVNPT to ask about your test, or did you just wait? Its a long wait but it does give me a chance to work on my resume/interview skills.
I actually called last week and it was 3 weeks already since I took my test. I had to call to see when it was coming in cuz I couldn't take the wait any longer! Lol the person that I talked to told me they were working on August 6th results so I ahd to wait another week and I will receive it which is true Cuz I got it yesterday! 😠Hang in there and you'll get yours soon too! I think while waiting, working on your resume and looking for jobs is a good start!

How did you study? Did you think the reviews were close to the test ? There are so many reviews out there.

I second that. :) . Congrats btw
i signed up for Hurst review which helped me with content a lot since I was out of school for 2 yrs and haven't taken the nclex yet. So I needed to know my content real good...but let's be honest we can't know everything in the short amount of time since my registration to test expired end of August so I had to take it soon.I basically study a month and half straight. I also used two books along with hurst. The first book was called Kaplan strategy book 2015-2016. It helps u how to break down and understand what the question is asking you plus how to eliminate answers. Very useful but the practice questions were really hard. The other book I used was a delegation prioritize and assessment book by Lacharity. This book helped me A LOT!!! I had a good amount of delegation and who to see first questions. A must have trust me! The last few weeks I focused on doing 100 questions through saunders evolve everyday and going over lab values. I stopped trying to study content cuz I know damn well it was just too late and I wouldnt be able retain any info. The day before my test I did not study one bit...I relaxed hanged out with friends. It pretty much calmed my nerves and my stress. I studied really hard...I took a month off of work to dedicate studying for nclex. Didn't help me financially but it was totally worth cuz I passed!😠Hope this helps! Good luck and I know you'll pass! If I can do it u can too!☺ï¸
Thanks! 😠good luck to u!
Thanks for sharing your story. Very motivating. I have 4 months left of lvn school and I sign up for nclex in January. Any advice for a study plan? ")
