The Pearson Vue website has changed in regards to how you can check the "trick" pass or fail, as of late August, 2014. You do have to input your credit card info, and press SUBMIT, and be willing to have your cc charged if you did in fact fail.
I took mine nclex RN this labor day weekend, AUG 30th at 8am. MY second time taking it. I took my time this time, actually took a break at 75 questions, since last time I took no breaks and had 1 1/2hr left in time! This time the computer shut off at 105 questions, had about 75% SATA, no peds, no calculations, no labs, no ekg, a lot of who would you see first. Very different exam compared to the first one-I had many of calculations, ekg strip, peds and lab questions.
Once I got home, the "old" trick did not work as it took me to the credit card page, I cried..but then my husband googled that Pearson Vue has changed the trick 2 days prior! I read the links confirming that by other nclex takers. So with that, I did put my cc info, clicked SUBMIT, and I got the good pop up! But with all the new changes I was not sure to believe this 100%. Sooooo....
You DO get your results in 48hrs, even if it is a holiday weekend! This morning I payed the $7.95 and got my unofficial results. I PASSED!!!
Hope this information will help future nclex takers and puts their minds at ease :)
P.S. I studied only Kaplan Qbank questions. About 50-100 per day. Reviewed all the rationales, as that is where all your content info is as well. Did about 1300, with an average of 60%
