I took my NCLEX in late Feb..(a week or so ago). I haven't seen my name on the CA BRN site. Also, I haven't done the PVT trick, because I am afraid it might take the credit card and charge me $200.00 and I might find out I passed, later in the mail (I know some one who had to get refund from PV). Do I still have a chance or since my name is not on CA BRN in a week...I failed.

I'll give you my experience and maybe it will help you. I took it late Feb in CA. No name on BRN í ½í¸ž and the PVT trick showed the bad popup and I know this b/c I used a credit card with a low amount & it was declined. By now it should be on the BRN and it is not. It has devastated me but I'm ready to retest and I already reapplied. Good luck and hang in there. I already submitted my app to retest.

I had a friend of mine that graduated recently that took a month for hers to show up on BON site. She however; got the good pop up from PV. As I understand it, with the good pop up, you don't have to enter CC info. If it takes you to the CC page that is the bad pop up and you should not enter your CC info but rather wait for your review in the mail.

Not any more. Everyone goes to the CC page since August 2014

I too have been waiting for almost a week now... it's really disheartening to see all my friends pass the NCLEX on Facebook. But I guess theres no point to worry but pickyourself up. I honestly don't even know where to begin the process of retesting.
I have a question for people who did the PV trick and got the good pop up. Did you do it recently, in 2015? Did you use "good" credit card? I used cancelled cc so I don't know if it would give me the good pop-up up.
I failed. I did way worst than I thought. I thought I studied every thing. Any tips for retaking?

I did the PV payment thing in Feb/15 with a valid CC on Thurs evening (took the test that morning), it didn't take my payment. License posted on BRN verification Sun night (maybe sooner didn't check all weekend).
How did you find out you failed? Right now I'm reviewing ATI online and reading a Saunders book. My first time around I did Kaplan and did every single assignment and EVERY question of their 1300 QBANK and studied each rational.
I don't know if I failed or not but its been a week with no posting online (Im in CA also). So Im guessing I failed. But there's no time for remorse or self pity. Pick yourself up and start studying AGAIN.
