My Nclex experience

72 Posts

Over the past couple of weeks Ive been on this website practically all day. I wanted to know what everyone was doing to prepare for the nclex, about the pct, and just everything. Of course I've read a million (feels like) posts about the "pvt" and why you shouldn't do it, but that is easier said than done.

I sat for the nclex about 1 week ago, and it was the most anxious that I had ever been in my entire life. My test started at 8am and I was finished at about 10:45. No, my test didn't cut off at 75 or 100 or 150, it stopped in the 160's :***:. I wanted to puke. I definitely got up from my seat feeling like I failed. I thought that I was an Extra on the Walking Dead how slow I was walking to my car. It was the most numbing experience.

So I get home and I don't want to try the "trick" because of everything that Ive read on here. Even after all of that, I still try it. 20 minutes after finishing, BAM I get the good pop up. This eased my mind but, I knew that it wasn't official.

At around 5pm the SAME DAY that I took my test my license number was posted on my state's BON website.

My question to everyone that says that the exam is scored twice is: How could my license number be posted the SAME DAY ( 9 hours later) if the exam is scored once when you finish and 24 hours after?
