My goodness. I am so glad I am done so far. I took the exam, 4hrs ago. I tried the Pearson Vue Trick, and yes, you have to put in your credit card information. A really smart poster posted in another post, that if you fudge your expiration date, you won't chance losing your money if you didn't pass. So I did that, having everything else the same, and I got the good pop up 75 questions later.
I wonder if you can see the screen capture above of my "good pop up". I hope this means that I passed. I felt the test was 50-60% I knew and the other half was straight best educational guessing. My questions were hard. What I've been hearing is the harder the questions get, supposedly you are doing good. But I will say, my questions were none like how I've been tested in school. Some people have been discussing the type of questions they've been getting, but mine were on completely different topics. So we will just have to wait and see. I'm putting it in the hands of The Most High now. I've done all I can do.
Has anyone knew of anyone, who cut-off at 75 questions, got the good pop-up a few hours later, but then didn't pass? Nerve Racking!!
As I said, it's anecdotal. Do a little bit of searching here on AN and you'll discover that. You've got lots of time to kill while waiting for the results, right?
Um...no need to talk me down; I'm not the one ending all of my posts with exclamation points. I'm very much aware that I'd have to wait for the official results but that wasn't what I was wondering about. What I wanted to know was if the PVT worked or if it was just a story that keeps getting passed around but doesn't really work. If it's a sure thing then great, I don't have to spend time and money preparing to take the nclex again. If the "good pop-up" doesn't really mean anything then I know that I should budget to retest.
