Good morning everyone.

i did my nclex last Monday July 13 @ 2pm. Following morning around 9am i check it thru PVT trick , turns out a good pop up. But im still anxiously thinking if i pass or fail. Then later that night(tuesday) , i check again with my husband, unluckily they took my $200. Im really devastated. Im crying in front of my husband like its the end of the world. I failed again. It break my heart when i remember that after i took the exam my 8 and 7 years old daughter told me," you what mommy we pray for you"

I used Hurst review, Practice Q & a with Saunders, PDA of La Charity. Some notes i got from one of the thread here.

PLEASE HELP ME! What im gonna do.

Help you? How? What are you going to do? Wait for official results, as that is all you CAN do.

If you're lucky, you passed (and donated a non-refundable $200 to Pearson Vue). If not...you will study again.

I'm sorry for your situation, but I fervently hope that EVERYONE who swears by the PVT will read this post and see why it's FOOLISH to do it.

We keep seeing a few people over and over repeating that there's no harm in doing the PVT, that it works most of the time so it shouldn't matter if anyone does it. They like to say that it never happens that people can get a good pop up and then fail.....or a bad pop up and then pass. You are living proof of how very WRONG they are! I'm sorry you're dealing with this, but maybe your experience can help someone else avoid it happening to them. People, stop screwing with this PVT nonsense! FWIW, the more often someone does it, the more likely they will get charged...passing or not. You did it twice, and got charged the second time. If you're very lucky.....it just charged you and you still passed.

You could have done what many do, that is use a card without any available funds so you wouldn't be risking any money. Thing is, it still wouldn't change your situation beyond the money issue: you initially believed you passed, and now believe you failed. And we can't know for sure until you get that letter in the mail (OR if you have QR available in your State, you can pay another $8 for accurate results).

If you PASSED, you threw away two hundred bucks that I bet you would have better enjoyed spending on your kids. If you FAILED, you were probably even MORE devastated because you believed for awhile that you passed based on the pop ups. Truly awful feeling.

Hang in there, and wait for official results to find out once and for all where you are in this whole thing. Good luck!
