Iam in the state of pennsylvania. I took my NCLEX exam today I had 75 questions Im kind of nervous apart of me think I did ok then another part of me is worrying. I felt like I guess on alot of answers. I tried the pearson vue trick and It stated that I'am already registerd contact them. I dunno what to think. I felt like the test wasnt even knowledge base. It was like either u new it or u didnt. Please can someone help me calm my nerves.
I took mine today as well and I did 217 questions. I can't do the PVT because it's now telling me there isn't anyone registered under my name. At least you know. I'm going nuts.
I don't know if it still applies as it has been 6 years since I took the NCLEX, but.... The trick we used is to look up the last question to see if you got it right or wrong. If it is right you passed and if it was wrong you didn't. Of course it doesn't apply to tests that shut off after 75 or the max. I know people that failed after 75 and passed after the max.

this is not the pearson vue trick. i did the trick last year and it worked well for me. i passed with 75 questions, but i was a wreck before i did the trick. i found out two days later i passed. if anyone would like to know how to do the pearson vue trick, click on the following link and follow the steps posted in red ink: allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/pearsonvue-trick-true-374829.html
I felt the same way after I finished my test and I had 75 questions too. In fact, I went with a couple of my friends & we ALL felt the same way. We drove a long way to take our test & kept checking the website every 5 minutes just to try the trick we were so nervous. Good luck!
Just go here... http://www.licensepa.state.pa.us/ and search your name, if it comes up with your license number you passed. I know the waiting STINKS!! I just went through it myself a year ago.
I think everyone feels that way. My sister-in-law tested in Tennessee and finished after 75 questions. She said she was feeling really good until it shut off, then suddenly she wasn't so sure lol. She passed! I know how hard it must be to play the waiting game!
No matter what state you're from, when it comes to taking the NCLEx, I'm sure most would agree that they're in a STATE of PANIC afterwards. It's an unsettling feeling, at the very least. Nothing convinced me I had been successful until my name appeared on the BON website. Report back when you get confirmation! :)

congratulations to the op, as you have passed!
never said it was. my comment wasn't for the op but for another poster. i was simply offering an alternative where the pearson vue doesn't work.
