yes.... it will take about few hours.. if you see your exam schedule "Delivered Successfully".. then you can try the PVT... coz if you do it too early (like mine)-- it will say "your result is on hold".... and definitely! it is very accurate!... goodluck!!!

well... sometimes you have to check the BON first after 48 hours if your name is there... I got my congratulatory letter together with my certificate... after 3 weeks and my license after 1 week... it's not thick at all... just 1 piece of paper saying "congratulations blah blah" and your certificate...

hanabanana... that's a loooooooong wait!... I got mine after 48 hours when i took it on Dec. 18... my name was on the BON site by then... however, I got a good pop-up when I tried the PVT which gave me a big hope that i passed.. but in your case-- if it lead you to CC page, well that means you didn't make it... (that's what everybody said though and PVT works 99%) i would call the BON to check your status coz that is long time of anxiousness on your part and i don't know if I could stand that wait... goodluck next time and study harder!

i am definitely one of you guys... LOL i just passed the boards and having a hard time getting in for a job-- i thought the hospital that i spent my externship on will hire me after i get my license but i guess their new grad program is currently closed and looking for someone with atleast 6 months... WTH!! that is my dream job first of all and SHARP too... so now i'll wait for PVH response and apply for the spring new grad program for Sharp... i need to pay my bills ... even nursing homes and rehab doesn't have any job openings for RN!!!

Yeap! same with the rest of the people here who recently took an exam... I took the test on Friday, the 18th--- i was really confident alright but the moment I sat down in front of the computer... i started to get nervous and I thought I've been guessing most of the questions on the test... and another thing-- while i was on #30-- the computer froze!... and so they fixed it after 5 minutes... i was telling to myself... oh my this might be a bad sign! im going to fail!!!!!!!.. i was freaking out inside my head but then i kept going.. every 2 questions has SATA and damn!! they were all freakin hard!!!... a lot of MEDS like everybody said-- NEVER HEARD!... 2 drug calc and some delagations and prioritization... --- at #71.. the pc asked me if i wanted a break-- i chose not to coz i was hoping it will shut to 75... and 4 more questions to go so might as well just finish the damn thing... then after 75 question.. it shut off.. then i was like--- oh my! i think i needed some more questions (coz i really felt i guessed the whole entire time!)... i went out the room-- did another palm print for the last time and the proctor winked at me and said goodluck... i was like--- hahahha i hope that means something good!-- I went home really scared to try the PVT but i really needed to see a hope that i pass... then there's a pop-up said that my result was ON HOLD-- im glad that it didn't went through the CC section ... but still im not sure if it will change to CC or to a good pop-up... -- i went to shop and get myself time too unwind for a bit coz i've been obssessively checking PVT every minute to see and it scares the hell out of me everytime i click on NEXT button.. so i got home from shopping -- i checked it once again... and THANK GOD! I saw the GOOD POP-UP in front of me... i screamed! while my mom was watching tv.. andd asked what's wrong i said nothing.. (by the way-- im planning to surprise her tomorrow)... then i have to wait 48 hours... here in California... Sunday i went to vegas-- while checking the PVT all the time... and still having the good pop-up... as long as i haven't seen my name on the website... im still scared like what if PVT doesn't work for me.. Saturday and Sunday were the killer days!... then Monday came--- no result yet... then Tuesday Morning at 8am.. i checked it and OH MY!!! THE BEST FEELING EVERTO SEE YOUR NAME WITH YOUR RN LICENSE NUMBER!!... The best christmas gift for my family and to myself... now i could say--- PVT works!

Hi bbie17!... to tell you honestly!--- most of my exam questions weren't on my reviews in kaplan.. that's why whenever i clicked on "NEXT" and see the questions-- i actually told myself-- "Oh My.. i don't know this stuff-- but ofcourse using rationalization to each answers will help you eliminate... Kaplan was a big help for me... but after i studied the Qbank and Qtrainers-- i got tired of repeating them which i would actually know the right answer without reading the question... i felt like i was cheating and got bored of reading the rationales-- so i went to Barnes and Nobles and spent like 4-5 hours of reading diff kinds of books like Saunders Q&A, Exam Cram, NCLEX made easy-- but i liked the Saunders and Exam Cram but the seemed easier than Kaplan.. but different questions will enchance your knowledge to pick the best answer.. some of the questions i remembered them through Med_surg 1 and 2 during school days and never encountered in NCLEX practice questions AT ALL!... I got like 15 SATA, 13 meds (w/c like only 5 of them I knew), lots of prioritizations and infection control... then after 2 hours it asked me for a break -- i didn't take it coz i wanna get it over with... then after like 3 questions--- it stopped at 75... then took the survey in the end--- I said "i need more questions to answer!!!"... coz for all the SATA--- damn... i don't even know if i got most of them right and even meds too!-- so yeah.. i was driving home crying and talking to myself... asking for HIS blessings and guidance... i went home tried the PVT --it says ON HOLD... i went shopping after few hours just to let my mind set off for a while (coz i was literally crazy during that time thinking it's a 50-50 chance of passing).. then I came home-- i checked it again-- it changed to "You just took the exam and call the boards if you got question"... that that was the infamous pop-up that I was waiting for... i still haven't told my parents coz i don't wanna jinx it.. ill just wait for my name to appear on the BON then print it out-- put it in a gift box then give it to my parents as a gift!... lol... a dream that became a reality-- but of course i want this to be OFFICIAL.. so i really have to wait for that day... I encourage you to practice more and more questions as mch as you can!!.. that's what I did and it helped me t understand the reason behind that right answer! and Never lose hope and faith.. pray always and ask for his blessings.. wish you all the best!! :redbeathe
