Of course there are no absolutes, but the test isn't going to shut off and fail you if you're answering questions right. It's just not logical. Unless you're talking about the very last question (#265) in that case you have to be above the line whether or not you get the question right.

It's the Florida Board of Nursing website: http://floridasnursing.gov/ :)

When I took my NCLEX last month I was all up and down this site looking for someone to say that they had gotten the good pop up and failed and could not find one person out of the hundreds of posts and comments I read! I too got the good pop up and a day later I had my license number :) Congratulations!

I put the correct number, but incorrect expiration date and security code; and it worked for me!

I've never come across anyone who has gotten the pop up and failed, so don't sweat it!

Not that I've ever heard of.

In Florida, you can go to the Florida Health website and your license number will be posted the next day at 9am if you passed. I took my test Monday and it also shut off at 110 questions. I felt terrible about the whole test, but I knew that I got the last question right. Did the Pearson trick 15min after my test and got the good pop up. The next day I found out that I passed.

Yay!!! Congrats to you both! That is the "good pop up"!

The three weeks leading up to the exam (2 weeks of videos and 1 week for the Q reviews).

My friend and I developed a schedule to rewatch the topics covered in class in addition to the specialties. We would study for 4-5hrs a day: 2 videos in the morning, lunch, and then 2 videos in the afternoon. The week before our tests we did a Q review each day and reviewed the rationales for each question; and since our tests were different, we were reviewing 250 questions a day. I only looked at Hurst material, their resource documents are very good for reviewing immunizations and developmental stages for babies.

Yes! Just take it one question at a time

I did not, I just used Hurst. But that's a really good score, I think you've got it!

I've been on this site all month reading about the NCLEX and the Pearson vue trick; and I told myself if I passed that I would share my experience! So here I am :) I graduated December 16, 2016 and signed up to take the NCLEX January 30, 2017. To study, I did the Hurst Review: 3 days live, watched all the videos online, and the 6 Q review exams. I found the Hurst to be a good review of the content, but more importantly the Q review exams helped me to "think like a nurse". My scores were: 63,71,81,80,84,79 When the day of my exam arrived, I still wasn't sure if I was going to try the trick or not.. but I ended up doing it as soon as I got to my car lol. To me, the exam was extremely difficult and I felt like I was getting them all wrong. I was also worried because I only got like 10 select alls.. however, I knew that I got the last question right, which I heard was an indication that you passed. Nevertheless, the screen went blue after 110 questions (took about 2 hours) and I felt horrible. I went to my car and pulled out my debit card to re-register (changing the exp. date and security code) and when I hit submit the first time the pop up wasn't there because you actually have to "view all your info to make sure it's correct" and then hit submit AGAIN to get the pop up. I got the good pop up and couldn't believe it, ugly cried for a good 5 minutes, and checked the board of nursing website the next day at 9am and PASSED. I find it funny that when I didn't see the pop up at first - it was like a death sentence, but once I actually got it - I was skeptical of its legitimacy lol. Everyone in my graduating class who has gotten the pop up has passed (at least 10 of us so far). Some people suggest waiting, but I tried it literally like 15min after I was done testing and it worked. My advice would be just to study and don't give yourself any reason to feel regret once you sit in front of that computer; know that you did everything you could do to prepare and you can do it! Best of luck to future RNs!
