I took my nclex this morning at 8am for the second time...I thought I was doing well and was completely ready for the test to end at 75 questions...but then it didnt...it went to 100, then 130, then finally ended at 136. It was one of the most stressful things I've ever had to do. Having to take it for a second time didn't help. But the last question I answered I felt like I got right so I was feeling more confident then the first time. So I got home and this is the message that pops up on Pearson View
"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."
Congrats......I scheduled my second one for April 3rd......
What did you differently to prepare for the second round?
Last time I got the kaplan 2011-12 reviews and strategy book as well as the Saunders Comp Review and just studied those. This time I studied those (much more thoroughly) and I also did the Kaplan online review. The LOD classes were wonderful and so was the Qbank. With the Qbank I would only choose to do unanswered questions and questions I got wrong until I made it through all 4000 or so questions and got them all right.
If you want to verify further, just go to the DOH websit and check if your license is active on the healthcare provider credential check....if you passed, it states "active" and gives u the CE Due Date which should be your bday this year!!
