I recently took NCLEX PN May 12th in CA. It's been 4 weeks and still no results. (Just to let you guys know, I just called the board and there on April 19th.) The CA wait is super long! I didn't do the PVT trick because I wanted to be surprised but now I regret it. Why is CA super long!? I probably won't know till early July since today is June 9th. They said the results should arrive 3-4 weeks. Hopefully it'll arrive sooner! This was my 3rd try. I hope I pass because I don't want to take it again! I've seen on this website that people who took it in May already got there letter saying they pass. Is it bad that I'm waiting longer than usual? I'm trying to stay super positive but I keep thinking I failed. I need the letter to confirm the results!

I heard from on here that in California if you fail then send you a letter within a week. So maybe that's good news. However I'm from Illinois and dont know how true it is. I take mine Nclex PN Monday on the 13th and I'm sooo scared . What was your exam like?
Yeah, I heard that took. When I called the lady said my account is null but she said it really low. Idk what that means so I'm just waiting for my results. Lol Do you have quick results? CA doesn't have it. On my test, I had mostly mental health and Maternity. 1 calculation, 1 chart, and like 10 SATA of staff meeting conferences. Oh and a lot of priority question and transporting patients. You'll be fine! Just think positive and do a lot of questions. They prepare you for the test and read the rationale.

@PLOVE26, try PVT it's 100% accurate. What number did the computer shut off?
I don't think it'll work after 4 weeks. It shut off at 86.
Yes, it will. All of the people I know who took it, have tried the PVT and passed.
I might do it. Hopefully my results will come sooner. Have you took you exam lately?
Yes, took it last February 2016, received my results 1 month and 2 weeks. Unfortunately I didn't pass and I'm from Cali too.
I'm sorry to here that. Stay positive and keep study! Everyone tells me to just do questions and read the rationales. That's what I did this time around. Hopefully it works. The other two times I study the books and questions but not as much as this time. I did questions literally all the times since it was on my phone. Keep studying and stay positive!!!
What resources do you have?
Books: Saunders, Exam Cram, Kaplan
Apps: Nclex Mastery, Nclex-PN
then I watch Kaplan videos on YouTube which helped a lot especially in pharm and I also used papers from my schools Nclex review when I graduated. Having the apps helped a lot because I did questions consistently

I just took my CA PN boards August 8, 2016. Did the pearson vue trick and got the "good" pop up. hopefully i passed. @PLOVE26, i hope you passed as well. I answered all 205 questions, and my last question was a SATA! There was no way i answered that question correctly. There were several times where i had 2 back to back SATA. People say that the more SATA that you get the better, but the more SATA i get, the more answers i get wrong. LoL. Im hoping that the pearson vue trick is true, but i have to wait another 4-6 weeks. But good luck!
