I always said that when I finally passed NCLEX that I would come back to allnurses and tell about my nclex experience. I've been reading allnurses post since I started LPN school. So first let me start off by saying, I was not an "A" student. I was a "B" student through out my year in LPN school. I made a 69% on my Kaplan Readiness test. I graduated on April 22nd, 2016. After graduation I gave myself a MONTH to study. I used Kaplan Q bank, PDA, and NCLEX mastery app. I also used the study guide that has been floating around on allnurses. I completed all my q banks with an average of 61%. I also did my qbank sample tests. I made a 46% on my alternative sample test...lol. I didn't let that rain on my parade though. I did around 150-200 questions a day. Sometimes, I did fall off schedule and I did not study some days. (sorry it's the truth).
Sooooo on to the test day. My test was at 8:00 a.m. When I walked in I immediately had a calmness over me. I was still a little nervous, but for the most part I was calm. When I finally started the test I was thinking "Okay, it's not too bad". Then came the dreadful SATA. I know for a fact I had at least 35 to 45 SATA. I felt SATA was my weakness. I usually always picked one too many or one too less. Once I got to my 2 hour break, I was on question 43. YES 43!!! I was thinking, OMG if I get to 205 I will run out of time. So when I returned I TRIED to pick up my pace. But I still was moving slow for some reason. Once I got to question 50 or so I started to feel defeated. Then I closed my eyes and just prayed. A weight was automatically lifted off of my shoulders. I got to question 85 and then my computer SHUT OFF! I was so nervous that my hand was shaking when I had to raise my hand to leave. LOL! I was postive I had failed. I cried all the way home. I tried the PVT trick and I got the good pop 24 hours after. That next day, I knew around 7:00 p.m. nursys would post my license. So I waited till 7, and BAM!!!!! There it was! I had passed!!!!!!!! So this is just to motivate anyone out there, If I can do it so can you! Don't give up and pray whenever times get hard. You can do it!!!! :up:
Not sure yet officially how I did, quick results might be available tomorrow otherwise it won't be until Tuesday because of the holiday. I couldn't stand not having any idea so I did the PVT and got the "good pop up" at 24 hours after I finished my test. So definitely a good sign. Just need to try to be patient until official results are available.
Did you try nursys.com? it might depend on your state though.

I am able to follow my application status on my states site, it hasn't updated yet but I do know it can take a few days at least. Just have to wait, lol easier said than done.
I am in Texas, which i heard is sooo slow at updating the system. i will keep checking it though just in case.
Ohh that sucks. I'm in Tennessee and it was up pretty fast surprisingly. Well I can't tell you to be patient cause I was about to lose my mind in the little 24 hours I had to wait. LOL!
Ctink8189, not sure on the quick results if it is before or after the test. When I finally had a chance to look to see if mine were available today, I had slept in so wasn't able to check at 0800 when I had started my test. Before you pay for your quick results do check nursys.com and your state registry. I was able to look up my application status which told me it was completed and found myself both on nusys.com and my states registry page.

Congrats to you!! I have about 3 hours or a little less and hopefully mine will be there. I have been assured several times that quick results will post on a saturday. Ive also been checking Nursys and my BON but nothing is there yet
Your quick results should become available, mine did this morning. When they do become available before purchasing them check with nursys and your BON. Not sure how quickly they would post it up but if you don't need to spend the $8 I figure why do so. Good luck, fingers crossed.
Honestly i just think Texas is a very sloooow state when it comes to that. Two of my classmates took their exam before i did and have already gotten their quick results, but they still arent listed on Nursys or BON

I have heard some of the states are like that. Just thankful that I am not in California I feel for the students there, from what I have read some of them have to wait a month or longer to hear back.
