Hey guys, I took the NCLEX exam on 2/21/2017 and I did up to 255 questions then i was timed out. the more i continue to do questions the more i start to get nervous because i was expecting for it to shut down maximum 100 questions. I found the exam to be very tricky! When i left the testing center I felt sick to my stomach but i still had that little bit of hope that says what if i pass after all. i did the trick and it says something your result is ho hold. i kept trying and it said the same thing until the next day it said my card is declined, now i know that means i didn't pass the nclex. you have no idea how much i'm devastated right now, i feel such a failure. i failed my self, my family, and those who believed in me. I couldn't stop crying. it's very hard to take in. the thing I know all the information the exam it's just i get stuck between two choices. and the SATA question, i got a bunch of them them.
I guess what I would like to know is how long do i wait until the post my result on the Pearson VUE. it's been 48 hours and they already had posted the result where i have to pay to see if i pass/fail. but at this point i already know i failed so i don't want to pay anything. but how long do i wait to see the result without having to pay for it?

I always thought it was if you don't pay, you pass? Because if they take your money, that means you passed?
I don't think so

Did you use a valid credit card?
You can only get quick results from Pearson Vue. Otherwise you have to wait to get the results from your state BON. Honestly, it's $8 to get the quick results. Just pay it and find out for sure.
I don't know, it feels like a west of money to pay $8 for a bad news.
But for how long do i wait to get the result from BON?
That will depend on your state. Usually you'll get a packet in the mail detailing your score breakdown within a few weeks.

I'm so sorry you're feeling this way. I don't think you're doing the pearson vue trick correctly, it can take several weeks to get the results back from the board of nursing... It just depends on your state. It would be best just to pay the $8 and know for sure now.
ok I have to be honest with you guys. the truth is right know i don't even have $8. that's how much i'm broke. this might sound crazy but I a person who don't even have a $1 in my pocket tight now. my bank card is over drafted so that's the story of my life right now. looking for a job at the same time
ok thank you so much!
thank you so much!
