NCLEX Trick Isn't a Sure Thing

[Brksy86, ADN, BSN]

Hello everyone, I wanted to post saying that from experience, the trick doesnt always work. Here is my story in a nutshell.

I graduated a military medic to RN program last August and took the NCLEX for the first time in November. I tried the trick then and it let me through the system meaning I failed and at 75 questions so it must have been really bad. Distraught, I paid and studied and practiced. I just retook the NCLEX 2 days ago once again ending in 75 questions, I thought I had failed again because I kept track and only had 8 SATA questions so I jumped the gun and tried the trick again about 20 min after the test and it gave me the good popup, but wait there's more, lol.

I told some of my friends and someone brought up a page on the Pearson View website that explained each test is graded twice, once at the site and then again within a couple hours at their processing center, so I may have gotten a false answer as it was still being processed for sure at 20 min.

So I waited 24hrs and checked again, and of course, I got through and paid. I was destroyed at once again failing at 75 but was determined to do better so in the last 24hrs I joined and paid for the 8 week NCSBN Learning Extension 8 week course for a refresher as well. But wait there is more... again!

Today is my 48 hour mark and my wife forced me to buy the early results not believing or understanding how I could make in the 90's on the Kaplan Final Review Predictor the day before the test and then fail in 75. So I meant to appease her and sure enough, I PASSED! So Now I am out $300 bucks for paying for the test and another review I wont touch, but I am not really mad as I knew the risk and ultimately, I am done and official.

But I joined just to post and let people know that it isn't a sure thing, many people may still get it accurately but I for sure did not and lost $300 in thinking I failed.

I'm sorry you went through all that but hopefully your story will stop some of these people who insist that you can't lose money doing this stupid game. You can, and you did

Congratulations on passing!
