I think I failed the NCLEX today....

Published

I got all 265 questions, about an hour after I checked and I didn't get the good pop up. I used kaplan, and their readiness gave me a 99% of passing. Apparently, something is off. I had a lot SATA and priority questions. I had a 70% average on all Q banks. I had a job waiting on this, and now I have to tell them I failed. How embarrassing :( All I can do is hope that the "trick" isn't always right.

All I can think of is my anxiety got the best of me...it was super bad. I was very tachycardic and couldn't sleep at all last night.

The trick is definitely not always right! Kaplan is a great review source. If you were making 70% and had 99% readiness I'm sure you did just fine! Try not to think about it for the next 48 hours!

Thankfully no! I changed up the security code, and it said wrong security code!

As a big proponent of the Pearson Vue Trick, I will tell you that you should definitely wait 24 hours before putting any emotion into the trick for your situation. I have seen so many testimonials that I cannot even count them. If there is a case where you don't get the good popup initially but do so later, it's when individuals go all the way to 265. Your test will be scored a second time some time within 24 hours after you have completed it. That second scoring will determine your fate and not necessarily what the computer determined initially. Good luck!!!

This is why I warn against the PVT. People swear up and down by it, until it doesn't work for someone. Then all the sudden its "oh...well maybe it didn't work for you!"

Just wait 48 hours. That's when you'll get your official results. Doing the PVT 100 times won't change the fact if you passed or failed. Wait it out...I always say, go do something fun and take your mind off of it.

I'm not saying it's 100% accurate at all . But a lot of the times it is accurate . Some people will get the bad Pop up and pass . I definitely understand where u are coming from @noelly10

From what I've gathered, the PVT has produced false-negatives on some occasions while false-positives is pretty rare. I generally

believe the NCLEX scorers who manually checks the exam is on your side so maybe with the hand-score you might have passed.
