Hi everyone.
As you can see by my description, I failed my NCLEX,and this is my second time.
First time I failed I receved paper stating that I was "near passing" everywhere. I had 122 question and I ran out of time. Yes, I know I am slow test-taker. I tried to break down every question, and may be that was what "killed" me. I am also Russian immigrant, so please understand that it really takes time for me to answer questions.
On my second try I had 75 questions and about 115 minutes. I assume I messed up my second try really badly.
Before I went first time I was getting ready strictly by lectures from my review instructor. She really knows material and explain things like not many teachers I had. For the second time I was getting ready only by doing practice tests. I guess I was not doing them enough to be ready, but this is not an issue right now.
I am now at the point where I am not sure what approach to take. I probably will be doing more tests (much more :)) and still reviewing my lectures.
I really want to get detailed print out of my results. I want to see on what areas I need to spend more time and what areas are my "strong side".
Does anyone knows how to get such thing as detailed results. I was searching on pearson vue site, but could not find anything. Shoud I call board of nursing for this? PLEASE HELP. Thank you very much for any suggestions.

You should get a similar printout like you did the first exam. Best thing to do it, is to look at the areas you got "well below passing" and "near below passing" and work on them. You might have improved on areas this time.
Thank you... I figured that I will receive same thing again. Honestly, I don't even want to see it since I failed with 75 questions.
I guess there is no such thing as detailed results.

You will only get the same kind of printout. Since you won't be getting the same questions, it really is not that useful. Study as if you had never tested before because you still have to be prepared for anything. Remember that persistence is going to win it for you.
