I took the NCLEX this morning and it shut off at 243 questions. I couldn't sleep the night before and my anxiety went through the roof in the morning. I was the the last one in the testing room and I felt like I was rushing at the end. Needless to say, I walked away from the exam feeling defeated and I am almost certain I failed. When I got home I tried the "trick" and it didn't go through at first but I tried several moments later and got the "bad" pop up. I know I should wait to get the final results to know if I officially failed or not but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on where to go from here? I was using ATI and was averaging around 70% on the practice assessments/LRRN's and 65% on the two comprehensive exams. I also used the Davis NCLEX prep book and the NCLEX mastery app but didn't really find those helpful. I've heard really good things about UWorld and LaCharity, only wish I knew about those resources sooner. Are these good sources for the NCLEX compared to ATI? Also, I already accepted my dream job but my start date is a few days before the 45 wait time for the NCLEX retake. I'm afraid that i'll lose my dream job once I tell the hospital about my results. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks! :)

Wait for your results then go from there.

Hello, may I ask what steps you took to get to the bad pop up? Everyone gets the "bad pop up" now meaning it directs you to the credit card page. This is not the correct way to do the PVT. You need to enter all the info on the credit card page (maybe use a gift card with minimal value) and then hit submit. Only then you will either get a "good pop up" saying "our records indicate..." or a "bad pop up," which is no pop up at all, and simply showing a message saying something along the lines of "invalid card info" or charging you the $200 if you had entered all the correct info.
