I just took my NCLEX yesterday, shut off at 85, and on the BON I show an Active License. I do however know that I left feeling like I failed. My suggestions for you are to read the Kaplan Study Guide book, and do as many questions as possible.... while you have to know the knowledge, there are many strategies that can help you. The biggest mistake is scanning for key words in answers, it is a surefire way to fail. Also, you MUST eliminate answers and ASK YOURSELF what is this question really asking? Read them carefully.... I had like at least 21 select all that apply.... UGH it was awful

We're in this together take a week or two off then come back ready to study... Don't be discouraged its easy to doubt yourself right now, but like sky614 said Kaplan strategies does help you eliminate 2 of the answers and focus on the what the question is asking...

Kaplan didnt really help me today when I took my nlcex. I think I failed and I was at the top of my class as well. I got the results on hold pop up.

I wasn't honors and I passed at 126

Don't rely on your honours and your distinctions. That won't save you when you're in Pearson Vue taking nclex. Sorry you failed. Take a break, cry it out and get back to studying.

"HERE ARE THE EXACT STEPS TO SEE IF YOU PASSED OR FAILED THE NCLEX EXAM ON THE PEARSON VUE WEB SITE:

1) Go to http://www.vue.com/nclex . 2) Select the 'Test Taker Services' tab at the top. 3) Click 'Register' on the right side. 4) Click the 'Credit Card' link. 5) Click the 'sign in' link in the second sentence. 6) Enter your Username. 7) Enter your Password. 8) Click the button. 9) Click 'Register' on the left side. 10) Select your test type. 11) Click the button. 12) Select your country. 13) Click the button. 14) Answer the yes/no questions. 15) Select your country again. 16) Select your state. 17) Type in your city. 18) Click the

button. A list of schools should appear. 19) Select your school. 20) Select the month and year of your graduation. 21) Select your board of nursing. 22) Click the button.

VERY IMPORTANT: At this point, if you get a pop up that says 'The candidate currently has test results that are on hold. A new registration cannot be created at this time.', it has nothing to do with passing or failing; it just means that they are reviewing your records due to random reviews that they conduct, or because they needed to locate some data or papers, etc. This means you will possibly have to wait a few more days than your friends who did not get this message. If you get the message 'Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your Member Board for further assistance. Another registration cannot be made at this time.', that means you passed. If you do not get either message and go straight to the Credit Card information page, that means you did not pass"
