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.
Took the RN exam February 24 at 1200. Called yesterday and asked if they can post my results online.
Woke up this morning March 30th and my results finally posted.
Just FYI PVT does work as I did it 24, 48 and 72 hours after I took my exam. Also if you don't receive a fail letter from the BRN in 1-2weeks that's also a good sign you passed. The BRN processes fail notices first so you can start the processes sooner.
Also wait for your 4weeks to pass if your waiting. Anything less and the BRN will just ignore you. Normal passing processing times is 4-6 weeks. The most you could do when calling is to make sure you have no HOLDS. If your application says PENDING that's a good sign.
Also when calling the person who answers can not in any way say whether you passed or failed. Legally they can't say anything.
So the signs for a pass or fail is the PVT 24, 48 and 72 hours, fail letters sent 1-2 weeks, waiting longer than 4weeks is a good sign (ugh....) and the "pending" notice on your application.
If I missed anything please let me know.
