@Sher if you haven’t registered before DO NOT register until January..if you pay now you it is only good until the 31st and then you have to pay for the renewal. So basically you are paying twice. The 114 late fee is for nurses already registered and have to pay Renewal by the 31st. If they do not pay by that date they are charged a late fee..

@scuffed this one is changing to the REx-PN so it will be unlimited tries eventually..

@RobinVanderHeide @GIBSON I called CNO. For initial registration you DO NOT have to register by December 31. That is only for people who have are already registered and their “registration is expiring” by December 31st. New registrants can register any time..that makes sense as everyone new passes their exam at different times throughout the year..however If you are already registered and it is expiring this month if you do not pay by the 31st for renewal you will be charged a late fee

Yes my friend took hers in December and she says the same as you..I think now you know what to expect so just try to look into the areas that you were weak on and then focus on that to guide your studies..don’t over study..make a plan like 2 hours a day and once you feel ready, then you take the test..you can do it, just stay positive

I did my exam October 4th and passed on the first try, I found the beginning of the test tough..did you get the same test twice?

I used mosby’s comprehensive and also Saunders nclex-PN.. friends from my class shared a lot of study materials but I went over the prep guide 3,4,5 and did practice tests..

@linzipinzi so sorry that you are going through this. What are the study materials that you used?? I have some things that may help you and can email.. I was reading online and they are changing the exam in 2022 to the REx-PN which has unlimited tries..stay positive and if you need anything let me know..

@Ageorge that is why you failed you got 105. There was 170 questions..do not forget that even though there are 170 questions some of the questions are tester questions to see if it is appropriate for a future test. Those marks do not count. I know exactly what it was out of but do not want to say too much. Even if you got 105 it was not enough. You needed more than that score to pass the exam. My question to you is if you were not successful why did they not tell you what you needed to get to pass? My friend was told what mark she had to get and what the exam was out of..it was a complete letter by email. ?..either way study hard, this is not the end..you can do it!!

Yes it is true the pass mark was 74 in the September window. I would not lie to you. The whole process is stressful enough. I believe it does change through every window..just study hard and stay positive

Yes but a friend of mine failed and that was what it was.

74 percent

Yes you find out the passing average when you are not successful

you will need to get more than 70 percent to pass the exam. keep practicing.

Use the Saunders prep for PN book and read up on the areas you believe you are weak in. Also doing the CPNRE prep guide questions 4th and 5th edition helped alot
