Just took my NCLEX-PN today

Nursing Students NCLEX

Just finished my NCLEX-PN today, one step on the road to eventually becoming an RN w/BSN. Will not know if I for sure passed for a while I guess.... I really don't see why on a computerized exam why they cannot let you know immediately if you pass or fail. I don't get that. I fully understand why for back in the day when all these test were old fashioned number two pencil bubble in the correct answer on the scantron sheet - those things take a while to tally and process. I am not willing to pay extra to get early results either because I figured I've already paid enough to register with the Board of Nursing and exam fee to Pearson Ed. The computer did shut off at the minimum amount of questions so maybe that's a good thing. From what I understand if it does shut off at 86 questions either you passed, or you failed big time, and although I wasn't rock solid sure of EVERY answer, I don't feel like I failed it bigtime. There were a lot of questions that I feel confident that I got correct - even the dreaded "pick all that apply" questions. And there were actually quite a few of those. So I will just play the waiting game like everyone else and in a few days check the Board of Nursing website to see if I passed and got my LPN license. It feels like a two ton weight has been lifted off of me, believe me :dead:

Have you tried the pvt? It's almost as accurate.

The Pearson vue trick. It's when you sign in to your account and see if the status of your exam says "delivered successfully" and you try to reschedule for another test. If it doesn't let you and you get that pop up that says "Unable to schedule a exam at this time, please contact someone from your board of nursing" that usually means you passed but if it redirects you to pay then that means you didn't. These results are accurate.

I did the PVT as of Friday, when I took my exam, and it was accurate. I also took the NCLEX once before and it was accurate as well. :) Do the PVT and you will know what you're results are.

Yes, the Pearson Vue trick is accurate. If you cant re-register to take the test, you passed =)

Hope you passed your exam! Good luck!

Well guys I tried the pvt and tried re-registering for the same exam with the same nursing program, state board etc listed and I got the popup box. It did not let me register and did not redirect me to pay. Not official till I see it of course but yay I'm an LPN now. Thanks again everyone :)

Thanks! I primarily used the Saunders PN NCLEX book and CD. I also viewed some vids on YouTube that were helpful also

Hi congrats! Did u feel as though the select all that apply were difficult? I'm a lil worried about content so I'm just wondering if it was easy or common sense questions to pick and choose what would be the correct answer or not.
