Pearson Trick

Published

Hi all!

i just took my RN Nclex and I only got 75 questions. I even got the last question correct. I took the trick all the way n it charged me the 200 to reschedule. I only did it bc I felt confident I passed... Anyone know of anyone whose done the same and still passed?? Needing some positive feedback here... 😔

Northern part ( San Jose ). I hope it comes tomorrow. I really want to know the outcome. So I know what to do.

hopefully they do! Keep us updated [emoji106]🏼

Hi All, I just wanted to leave my two cents as a recent NLN....regarding my whole experience with Pearson, NCLEX prep, and my eventual licensure....well today being the first day it's officially posted by the board as active :-)

1. Graduated in 2012, decided to go on immediate to grad school and did not take the licensure exam. Spent the next year and a half, taking advanced nursing courses and then was told I could go on no further until I passed the NCLEX . My initial fear, and the reasoning behind my choice....I convinced myself that I would be a more competitive job seeker with more edu under my belt....my advice ...DONT DO THIS AND TAKE IT ASAP...I ended up workigfor two years as a WAY over qualified CNA...dumb, dumb , dumb.....

2. NCLEX exam 12/22/2015....the test shut of at 75 for me....Now, I, a prophesayer of doom , gloom n failure , I read all the books I could find, delving in2 my med surge, peds and Obstertics books for clarification. Total time from application to testing-> 128 days....my advice..I OVERKILLED...I would guesstimate 80% of material I reviewed from 2 years ago did not show up on the NCLEX. I did not take a review course 2/2 $$$$, anyways it's all out there online....used Saunders, limpicott, alternative format, prioritization and Kaplan q bank Now, w/o revealing too much I would say this:

A. Know all the drug names by their generic names, being prudent I memorized them as well, and I wasn't aware that the change occurred BRANd names are no longer used...indomethacin and flumazenill made its way into my brain .

B. I had a ton of prioritization questions, I.e a nurse from unit A goes to unit B , what assignment is appropriate..

C. I had many, it seems now way to many select all that apply Q? I.e a nurse observes this behavior from the staff member, and intervenes if he/she observes : a, b, c., d, e, f...Be prepared for those

4. Pharm : DONT MEMORIZE EVERY SIDE EFFECT, I WASTED a week on that, and being its only 13% I do have to say I want to kick myself....know the most important group side effects...B Blockers can all cause BBCLSIR mnemonic, helped me...5 P of a amlodipine, all anti neoplasticis cause bone marrow depression....not the rare SE/adverse events...that stuff we are meant to look up...

5. HIPPA, living wills, scope of practice and negligance vs. malficence ....well worth review to know

Finally regarding the Pearson Vue trick....the #good pop u#, which Btw an hour after NCLEX makes no sense, since most of us were in rigorous content review mode , question mode ...leading into the week of the exam date and come out post testing have no idea what that even means. For me , I drove home and slept for a good 12 H....when I was feeling better read bout the method of re-registering through PV to see if this would #reveal# the results For me, the CC was rejected, and the pop up about recent test was enuf to stop . I.E I risked 200.oo . If I would have waited 4 days , I could have called the boards here in CT, which btw I understand is not CA....but the lady explained to me that they received my test results and now " my file" was being reviews by a supervisor....meaning she just informed me of my results and I PASSED and they were doing due diligence before issuing my license # which I GOT TODAY. So all in all , 19 days for official results ....hope this helps those out here who took some twists and turns. Side note, in those 18 days I worked on my resume and cover letter, sent them out and now have interviews ....no offers yet tho:(...hope sum1 finds his 411 useful ...cheers:))

Did you get the "good" or "bad" pop-up?

Seriously, your post if all over the place. I'm not an English teacher but boy was that a tough read. You even typed "$200.oo" with the letter "o's" instead of zeros...

Congratulations!!! Still haven't received mine :( when did you get your letter?

When I took my NCLEX-PN a while back I entered a credit card that didn't have the entire $200 on it so in case I didn't pass I couldn't be charged. I did it once I got home from taking the exam which took less than 30 minutes and got the good pop up. I don't think the time matters.

Took my exam on 1/7/16, and did 75 questions (75th one was correct). Did the PVT on the 5th day after test and got the "bad pop-up" and received the confirmation letter that I failed 2 days later (exactly a week to the day I took the exam.)

exam is scored twice. That's why people have been reporting of their pop ups changed from good to bad. One in the testing center and the other by the boards. So it's better to try it 24 hrs after the exam.

I got it last thursday january 14, 2016 exactly 4 weeks and 1 day after taking the exam. Maybe cause of the holidays why it took longer for the results to come in.
