Hey all my computer shut off at 182 question. I received alot of priority questions. I am extremely nervous. The PVT trick did not work for me does that mean I fail? Has anyone every stopped around 180 questions and still passed?

What comes up when you try the pvt?
It im on the credit card page and its asking me to verify.... It the PVT true. I took it in NY and im reading that there is a delay in NY. Since I took it on a saturday do you think it will matter bc they dont process things on weekends?

One can PASS with the max 265 questions and I know those that have!!
Ive heard pple pass at 265 for between 75 - 100 questions, but never in between that. Im praying that the PVT trick is wrong:uhoh3:
one can pass or fail at ANY number between 75 and 265. If u failed at 75, one wasn't close to passing! If one fails at 265 or closer to 265, one was right on the bubble to pass!!
That is one benefit to Kaplan (and i'm sure other courses) is that they explain the test to you! As well one can find a lot of info here:
NCLEX Examinations read under student/candidate. Explains a LOT of helpful stuff
I took ATI and according to my predictor, I had an 83% passing rate. Im ready for anything at this point... sighhhh... whatever happens happens. I know clinically I provide good care and that keeps my confidence up
Anyone had bad expereinces with ATI or felt that it helped?

Nurse-Nat, I too have also taken ATI. My school required us to do so. They also came and gave us a 2 day live review course. I used to hate ATI but I am now beginning to like it. I haven't taken my boards yet but plan to do so in a week or so. Is that the only study tool that you used? How long did you study before you took the test?
I did ATI for a month. My tutor was horrible and useless, she didn't support me to take my boards and was all talk. A few pple in my class had the same one and felt the same way. I feel like ati teaches you content but not how to take the exam.
