Advice please.
I registered for my NCLEX-RN at Pearson Vue's website. BUT my whole name did not fit the web form. Example: (not my real name)
First name: Christopher Alexander
Middle name: Cruz
Last name: Young
"Christopher Alexander" could not fit. It was only up to "Christopher Al"
I mailed my payment to Pearson Vue, including a typewritten letter detailing how my full name could not fit the web form. I then got an e-mail from them that goes something like:
"You have successfully registered....your details are as follows:
Christopher Al Cruz Young"
It also said that if there were any corrections that needed to be done, to contact the State Board that I registered at. And that it was important that my details must match exactly the identification that I was to present on testing day.
So I e-mailed Vermont BON. They replied:
"That's fine. It will not affect your testing."
I then e-mailed Pearson Vue's customer service, along with Vermont BON's reply. They said, "as long as part of your first name and last name match, then it is okay."
What should I do now?
Have any of you experienced this also? I'm just concerned that I might be refused to sit for the exam on testing day. I don't wanna waste $350 (I'm from the Philippines) just because my name does not match my passport exactly.
Thanks in advance!

You have been assured by both the Board and Pearson that you are fine. You will not be turned away when you show an ID that shows the information up to the cutoff point. Take copies of all of your correspondence concerning this matter with you on test day to show the center personnel.
