Pearson Vue Trick.... Really?!

[Lizzy84, RN]

Hello to all, so I took my NcLEX this am, and it stopped me at 85 questions, with only 3 meds and about 6 SATA... I tried the PVT and got the good pop up, but here's the thing, although I did think the exam was HARD, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting... So I'm scared that this means I didn't pass! Help! Oh, btw, I did the Kaplan program and studied like crazy... Don't know what to think, please advice!

I took the test on Monday August 1, 2011... Got home about twenty minutes later and did the PVT and received this pop up "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." I did this at least fifteen times between 8-1-11 and 8-2-11. Well, I just checked my state's BON (8-3-11) and I'm officially an RN!!!!!!!! So, I would definitely say that the trick works!!!! I mean, it's only logical that you wouldn't be able to re-register if you passed!!!! Good luck to all those either waiting for their results or getting ready to take the exam!!!!!! I can say, this PVT REALLY put my mind at ease because I had like over 20 SATA and no dosage, or any "easy questions" for that matter and the computer shut off at 75!!!!!! Don't panic if you keep getting SATA.... like one of my college professors used to tell us during school, "JUST BREATHE"!!!!!!!:dancgrp:

Hi ilovehearts! I took the exam aug 1st too and got a good pop after 24 hrs, I checked my name on CA BRN website still wasnt there. Which state did you take the exam?

I am new here and have found comfort in all the postings. I took my test this past Tuesday and walked out of there after 190 questions, feeling completely defeated. I have come so far and felt like I knew absolutely NOTHING. All my questions were super hard, had a ton of medications, pediatrics, a ton of prioritizing and more meds!! I went on and did the PVT and have done it several times only to get the message about not being able to schedule the test...I am HOPING, PRAYING that I passed...and that this trick works...cause I feel like total S&^%!! Thanks for the posts...will post tomorrow when I get word!!
