Took the NCLEX today for the first time, felt ok after the test, but researched a lot of questions I wasn't sure about and turned out I answered them wrong. Did the PVT 30 minutes and 2 hours after the test, took me all the way to CC page, filled all the info, NO good pop-up, just the message "by clicking submit you authorize... bla bla". Cried hysterically for an hour. Did Uworld (the whole q bank), 600 q's on Kaplan. UWorld self-assessment was 72% and "very high" chance of passing - 96th percentile. Average on UWorld was 63%, Kaplan 57%. Computer stopped at 75 questions, I know I got quite a few questions right, but know for sure many were wrong. About 10-12 SATA. My only hope is that PVT is not 100% reliable. I am shocked and very depressed.

You have to click submit again after you receive the "by clicking submit you authorize... button.
Then you should get the good or bad pop up. Praying you passed!
Thank you very much for your support, I am afraid to do the PVT again.
OMG! Thank you sooo much! You're right, I had to go to the very end and click submit one more time. I got the good pop up, it didn't let me register!
Awesome. Congrats!!!!!
Thank you! Now waiting for the official results))

Yes it sounds like you passed. I'm basing this off the fact you only got 75 questions, because its highly unlikely (although still possible) that you failed with only 75 questions. In order for the test to shut off at 75 with a failure, you had to have totally BOMBED the test in the worst way imaginable. 75 questions is almost always a good sign you have passed. The test is designed to give you enough chances to redeem yourself before it fails you. Also it is designed to shut off once you have demonstrated competency. I'd be willing to bet when you check the official results its a pass.
