NCLEX-PN, PVT “Results on hold”

Published

Hello everyone, I hope someone can answer my questions and give some peace of mind. I took my NCLEX-PN on Friday, 4/3/2020, got cutoff at 60 questions. With the whole coronavirus pandemic, they made some changes to the minimum and max cutoff numbers with 60 minimum and max 130. So I got the minimum cutoff. When I did the PVT about 2 hrs later and after receiving the email, it told me my results where on hold. So no answers there. I waited til today, Sunday, to try and do the quick results since they now offer it in California. Still says they have not received my results. I’m so anxious and I need to know my results! It’s a horrible feeling having to wait. Can I not access my results because it’s Sunday? I read on other forums that people are able to see their quick results on Sundays. Is it because of my hold? And how long can the hold last? I didn’t have any complications with my palm scan, that I know of, and I don’t think I finished too quick. I did the 60 questions in a little over an hour. I just need some peace of mind and some rest. Thank you to anyone who can give some answers and sorry for it being so long.

@Ljill74 Oh I'm sorry. I didn't realize that. Well just start reviewing and best thing is don't overthink questions, and take your time. I literally was there the full 4 hours for 130 questions. I have test anxiety and ADHD, and it usually takes me a long time to test. What did you use to review?

It’s okay, I used NCLEX mastery, remark book, sanders.... I have access now to ATI, and I’m going to buy UWorld soon. Yeah, I have test anxiety too but this time I just casted my anxieties to jesus. But now it’s all back again.
They stopped me at 60 and I was there for about 2 hrs... ?

I tried to keep taking this test a secret, only my husband knew... but my mom called the night before my test and was asking for us to do a drive by graduation and like I couldn’t go obviously.. so I ended up telling her, and ever since then she constantly has 30 questions regarding my test etc... like she doesn’t get it, and the way she keeps nagging it’s like to much for me... makes my anxiety/depression sky rocket.

what did you use to study?

Sorry to hear that you did not pass.

I paid for my quick results this morning and I passed! I am so relieved.

If you need anyone to talk to then feel free to message me. I would be so happy to share with you what helped me pass

@Ljill74 “Keep moving forward”. Determination is a key to success. You got this!

And @AspiringRN, congratulations ? are you an RN or an LPN now? Either way, how exciting! Celebrate ?

Thanks, I am an LPN now.

I am already looking into LPN to RN bridge programs to go into.

@Ljill74 I graduated nursing school last August, so I waited a long time to test. I forgot soo much! At first after graduation I used Kaplan, which I really liked. Then I stopped studying for a while. I just like a month before testing started doing UWorld and listened to all of the Mark Klimek lectures. Mark Klimek is amazing!! I just realized there are so many Youtube videos that nurses do to help us pass the examinations. I would do UWorld and definitely listen to Mark Klimek and other you tubers. You tube breaks it down into terms that will make sense and that will make you remember.

@AspiringRN Congratulations!! I'm so happy for you!

@Ljill74 I’ve heard many good things about UWorld. I used ATI because it was provided by my nursing program. It was a big help for me. I recommend it. Keep studying ??How do you have to wait to be Anel to test again?

@rbclem01 hopefully they give you your results sooner than later ??

I also got my first nursing job today ?

*able not Anel ??‍♀️

Did you pass now?
