NCLEX 2020/PVT etc

When I was studying for NCLEX, I read MULTIPLE forums on here, so I said I would come back to share my experience...

Studying:

I used only Kaplan to prepare for the NCLEX-I did at least 1700 qbank questions-over 100 questions a day and I passed in 75 questions the first time. I studied for about 3 weeks total. I got a 65 on the readiness test, 90 on who do you see first, and 30 on the alternative format test?. My question trainers ranged from high 40's to mid-high 60's. I actually rescheduled my test for the following week because I didn't feel completely ready, and I'm glad I decided to do that! I wouldn't recommend waiting too long, though--I took mine about 33 days after graduating.

NCLEX:

hmm I think the best advice I have is to calm down. When I walked into the testing site, I was very anxious, but I prayed that I would be calm while taking the test and I was! I did not feel confident throughout the test, but I was calm and took my time when selecting the answers. Take the questions one at a time and pick the safest answer if nothing else.

PVT:

I did the trick quite a few times and kept getting the "good pop-up", but that still wasn't convincing enough for me! I received my results within 50 hours of taking the test-the waiting period was the worsttt!

You can do it!?

    I took mine yesterday. I finished around 2:30 ish. Due to the coronavirus new protocols were implemented. I had a total of 130 questions with 60 cut off. I was completely miserable taking it. I felt like I missed every question. Computer cut off at 120. I got the email about 15 minutes after I left. I tried the PVT I got the good pop up. I’ve tried it about 5 more times. I jus don’t feel confident in passing .☹️

    @tryhardnurse yes I passed. You got the good pop up you’re good. I was stressed even after I did the trick ( several times). What state did you test in?

    CONGRATS! Thank you for your response! I’m in Washington State! Was super anxious this morning when I got back!

    @tryhardnurse trust you’re good. Thank you Congratulations yourself! I’m not sure how it goes there. I was able to see my license/number posted to one of our state website’s Monday around 1:00ish. Tues or Wednesday I saw it on NURSYS. My license actually posted right before quick results so I didn’t pay for those.

    That’s a very good idea actually! I know my state update the website every 24 hours, I’ll check it on Monday! Not sure if the level of difficulty ranges in other states, but Here in Washington, it was a lot harder than I expected! I did a lot of practice before coming into the test and still find it difficult LOL.

    Oh I knew for sure I failed. I don’t think I answered any question in 100% confidence. Yes I would start checking Monday. I did after midnight (Monday) and got so discouraged. I checked all that morning and became more and more worried. I know it’s not easy to relax but you passed. Monday, Tuesday at the latest you will be so relieved to see registered nurse by your name.
