Pearson Vue is accepting payment? Is this a reference to the PVT? You will have the official results soon, so why not wait and see if you really did fail before you panic.

If you failed in 75 questions, it means you were so far below the passing line that the test shut off at the minimum number of questions. If you failed at 265, that is the maximum number of questions you can receive. This means you were riding the borderline of pass/fail the entire exam.

What did you do to prepare for the exam? Did you attend a prep class, such as Kaplan? If not, I would highly suggest doing an in-person live review session (if possible) or at least an online (interactive) review session.

You stated that "Pearson is accepting payment". If you are referring to the PVT, then you cannot rely on this. Wait to receive your official results. The PVT is not 100% reliable and if you pay for another exam, you cannot get your money refunded. Also, depending on which State Board of Nursing you applied to, some require a remedial course be taken after the 3rd NCLEX failure.

We definitely need more information to give any advice. What prep courses did you do before each exam? When you got your results, what areas were your "problem" areas? How did you change your strategy when answering questions from exam to exam? I'd love to chat about strategies, but without more info I'd just be throwing suggestions out in the dark!
