NCLEX LPN/LVN Exam - C.A 2016

[ReeltoRealNurse]

I just took my LPN / LVN exam. It stopped at 86 question. I've read alot of articles that it was a good sign coz the more questions you get the more chance that you are below passing grade. On the other side I just did really bad that the CAT figured that I am really not doing well. I've read articles from the past years like 2013-2010. I wonder if this "notion" is still up to the present 2016? I just took mine this month March 2016 for the first time. I enjoyed taking the exam as if I am just answering a review practice test. But I only got like maybe 5 SATA and Delegation / Priority Questions. I can't figure if my question is getting harder which I heard is a good sign. I have some diet food questions that I think was easy but still not sure with my answers. I felt like I don't know nothing at that time and kept on guessing for like 50% of the exam. Does having only 5 SATA test a bad sign? I guess? I know a lot of test format changed for the past years. I heard that every year the passing % gets higher and higher. Also after 24hrs of my test I tried the PVT. Hoping that I can get a good pop up. Was I too early to do it? I've seen some videos and articles but it was years ago. Does anyone tried the PVT this year 2016? is it still accurate? I had a bad feeling that I failed. coz the payment has been received and on process and they emailed me the receipt that's $200 again!!! It's just so sad that California does not participate on Quick result. Need to wait from 4-6wks. Geeezz!! thats to long!!! Well I am starting to study again and hope for the best. Any comment on this is highly appreciated.

Did you end up passing? I'm taking mine on Sept 29th 2016 and I'm so nervous, but like you can only find hella old info on passing. Hope you passed and are doing well...

I ended up passing. I did the PVT trick after and received the "good pop-up" that everyone is referring to. I took the maximum number of questions. It was easier than i expected but i would have thought that i passed at 85 questions. lol. i did a few SATA, child and adolescent questions (more than i expected), know your values because i got quite a few tables with values on them.. im sure there is much more but that is all i can come up with at this time. Good luck!

My husband took his nclex pn exam on August 26th. He stopped at 170. We decided we will not do the pv trick this time. Its almost 4 weeks and we havent get the result yet. Waiting anxiously. If the board is doing the august 1st application, i guess we still have to wait longer. Anybody has more than 4 weeks to get the official letter?

For the actual results it's pretty quick I got mine in a week...The one that has taken forever is the actual license itself..If you log onto breeze check if it lets you pay for the Initial Licensure (card) if it doesn't give you the option it means you failed and it will have the drop down option of paying to retake the test...FYI my test stopped at 170 also and I passed.. Good Luck to your husband
