I live in CA and took NCLEX on September 3rd. Since then, I've tried the PVT several times and got the "good pop-up". While I already knew I passed, I was waiting for the official letter in the mail. Today, the letter came and I am so happy!
My test stopped at 85 questions. I'm not sure how long it took. But I took my time taking the test. I read each question 2 or 3 times to make sure I understood what they were asking.
Study materials: I relied heavily on Saunders. I read every rationale, even if I got the question right. I also used Exam Cram and ATI. I hated ATI! My school required us to get the "Green Light" from ATI in order for them to pay for the NCLEX and the licensing costs.
A word of advice, do not cram the day before. I was so nervous about the test, I studied all day before the test. It didn't help me one bit. All it did was stress me out.
Best of luck to everyone who is about to take NCLEX. You can do it! :)

Congrats! I took my exam on 9/4/14 as well and have been getting the good pop up, but I don't know how reliable it is. I'm hoping I get mine sometime this week!

You probably passed. Let me know when you get your letter! :)
You probably passed. I think the PVT is just as reliable as it's always been. Report back and let me know when your letter comes. :) It will be in your mailbox soon.

You're still waiting for your letter? The BVNPT sure likes to take their time, don't they?
Im currently still waiting! Getting really annoyed. Monday will be 3 weeks and 4th day.
Getting impatient with my application.

Congrats! You cali people are so patient. I can only imagine I would be dying if I had to wait 3 weeks for my results. It was the longest 48 hours of my life last week when I took it and got my passing quick results.
