NCLEX RN today, shut off 75 q's & the "good popup"

Published

Hey all, I am a new member but I have been browsing allnurses website for the past two weeks and I must say that it helped prepare for the NCLEX RN. Well ,today I faced the "monster" and I got the good "popup", I am praying that this is a good indication of passing. I had said that after my exam I will come and share how I prepared as well as my experience. I graduated in May 5th 2012, took 2 weeks off and began the Kaplan course in mid May. After completing the course I gave myself 3 solid weeks to study. To be honest most of my studying was just completing the Q trainer q's, and I completed 100% of the Q-bank questions. I only utilized Kaplan course book to refer to any topic that I was unfamiliar with. Otherwise my studying was basicly reading the rationales which helped me alot. Kaplan Scores :

Diagnostic test: 49%( aaaaaaacchhwww)

Readines test : 56% ( which means a 92% chance of passing according 2 Kaplan)

Q trainer 1:56%

Qtrainer 2: 52%

Qtrainer 3: 56%

Took these test after kaplan course :

Q trainer 4: 49% ( aaaaaaachhhhwww lots of tears this day)

Q trainer 5: 56%

Q trainer 6: 60%

Q trainer 7: 58%

completed all Q bank q's with 58%........ As you can see my scores were not that great but one thing I can say is dont get too hanged up on your score instead evaluate how much you are learning from your scores. I learned alot from the rationales.

Those who are not taking kaplan, regadless of the resource you are using please pay close attention to the rationales because you learn more from that.

I must say that I was very nervous but one thing that helped me alot was prayers!!!!! yes if it was not for my God I think I would have passed out in the testing room :( but with lots of prayers I was able to stay calm, and focused on answering the questions.

I got 75 questions.... I had about 15 SATA, 4 med calc, 2 exhibit, 2 picture.......

For those who are preparing to take this exam please remember that you have learned alot through your nursing program, if you made it through, then you can make it through the NCLEX exam, Remember that what good thing God has started He will finish it. Pray, believe in yourself, Stay positive and You will do great. If I can be of any help please feel free to contact me.

Wish me luck as I wait for the Official results :)

foremerphotog: here is the info abt good pop up:;;

here are the exact steps to see if you passed or failed the nclex exam on the pearson vue web site:

1) go to nclex testing with pearson vue.

2) select the 'test taker services' tab at the top.

3) click 'register' on the right side.

4) click the 'credit card' link.

5) click the 'sign in' link in the second sentence.

6) enter your username.

7) enter your password.

8) click the button.

9) click 'register' on the left side.

10) select your test type.

11) click the button.

12) select your country.

13) click the button.

14) answer the yes/no questions.

15) select your country again.

16) select your state.

17) type in your city.

18) click the button. a list of schools should appear.

19) select your school.

20) select the month and year of your graduation.

21) select your board of nursing.

22) click the button.

very important: at this point, if you get a pop up that says 'the candidate currently has test results that are on hold. a new registration cannot be created at this time.', it has nothing to do with passing or failing; it just means that they are reviewing your records due to random reviews that they conduct, or because they needed to locate some data or papers, etc. this means you will possibly have to wait a few more days than your friends who did not get this message. if you get the message 'our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. please contact your member board for further assistance. another registration cannot be made at this time.', that means you passed. if you do not get either message and go straight to the credit card information page, that means you did not pass.

your pearsonvue account must state that delivery is successful before you try the trick

Good luck! I took mine today too. I feel horribly nervous as I got kicked out at 75 and didn't feel so hot about some of the questions, but I just got the good pop-up so I have my fingers crossed. Now for both of us. :)

Congrats! I am also doing Kaplan and have been getting in the 60s in the banks and trainers. I really wish I could test Asap! But, the closest date I could get was the 6th. I had a dream that I passed at 80 questions. I hope this dream comes true ha!
