I can not wait 24hours

Are you looking for a crystal ball or a time travel machine? PVT only works after 24 hrs (it takes 24 hrs for Pearson to verify the results) and quick results are available after 48 hrs.

Your only choice is to wait until the official results.

Hold means your exam was flagged for a QA/QC audit. It is NOT indicative of pass or fail. Results are not released to the BoN nor quick results until the hold is released. Doing the PVT is absolutely useless with results on hold. You are increasing your chances of being charged each time you attempt the "trick"

Unless you did some remediation your chances of passing after an 8th attempt are very low. If you do not remediate and change your study method you will just suffer the same fate. If you analyzed your candidate performance reports and created a targeted study plan you would increase your pass potential.

Eighth attempt......75 questions. Either you nailed it this time and easily demonstrated competency....or you did miserably and demonstrated incompetency. If the former, you certainly learned what it was you needed to know to pass. If the latter.....after eight times at the test....you haven't. And it's time to reconsider your options for the future.

You CAN wait for results, you MUST wait for results, because no "trick" can tell you, and neither can we.

Good luck.

I know.. I mean I am just very nervous:(

How about "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Another registration cannot be made at this time."

Is it a good pop up? or just systemically notice?

EIGHT times?

Mavrick, BSN, RN · Sep 20, 2015

How long have you been out of school? What you learned 3-4 years ago and never put into practice is long gone.

Doesn't sound like Nursing is your thing. You have failed your NCLEX with 75 or 76 questions five times. That means you have demonstrated with a minimum number of questions that you are not minimally competent to practice professional nursing in this country.

What have you been doing since Nursing school? Can you stick with that?

Ok, say you did indeed pass, where do you think you are going to get a job now? I'm not sure when you put advise if you are from this country and don't know it's advice or if you are from a country that uses that such as the UK or Australia. But if you have been out of school a while, you have passed that one year new grad status. When interviewed you will have to explain that you failed 8 times and that is why you are no longer a new grad with no experience.

You just honestly threw a ton of money down the drain taking this test so many times and probably paying for test passing help. Not all dreams can come true.

I think they are trying to be realistic. Your chances dwindle each time, and you have taken it 8 times now. The odds are not in your favor.

Correct. By the 8th attempt your chance of passing as an IEN is less than 3-5% especially if you haven't remediated and changed the way you prepared. This I am positive of as evidenced by the statistical data vTo start with less than 30% of IENs pass the NCLEX first attempt and statistically the odds diminish with each subsequent attempt. IENs are not trained to pass the NCLEX. IENs are trained to the standards of their country of education and often not in English. Not only does an IEN have to overcome differences in content, language, and syntax but also they have to change their way of thinking to critical analysis and applied knowledge. It is not impossible but if you don't change the way you prepare you guarantee failure. You have already spent $1600 in test registration fees alone, add in prep material, BoN application fees, credentials assessments, and more plus this indicates a delay between graduation and licensing. It will not be easy to secure a job especially in the current environment.

Are you here in the US now? What State did you take the NCLEX for? It has been more than 48 hours since you tested; if the State participates in Quick Results, you can find out with certainty if you passed the exam. The fee for Quick Results is $7.95.
