Angelfood, I hope the "trick" is true!!!! Congrats!

Angelfood, The pearson trick is trying to register again...It wouldnt allow me... Have you tried that yet? I think the exact steps are in the Pearson Vue Trick Thread. It has worked for ALLLLL of my classmates! I hope it to be true with me as well. Best Wishes! Im sure you did GREAT. The number of questions you get doesnt mean anything! Several of my classmates went to 265 and PASSED.

Just got this message... Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your Member Board for further assistance. Another registration cannot be made at this time. NO way I passed SERIOUSLY??? Is it true???

Its still saying ready for delivery?

I took my NCLEX today and only had 75 questions, in which the last one I know I got right! I have 14 SATA, 20 plus drug questions, and A TON of prioritizing. Im not sure how to feel. I felt like I was guessing the entire time! UGH How long does it usually take for the PEARSON TRICK to work; same day? I feel like I failed but so does everyone else once there done I guess.

I had several friends from school today call me tonight that took the test today and they all passed according to the "pearson trick". They said the test is very straight forward, no tricks. Our program sounds a lot like yours. We had a lot of SATA questions and our questions were always very tricky! You had to really think through most. It will be what it will be. Im starting to feel a lot better about it. Im scoring in the 70s and 80s now in my qtrainer and NCSBN test. I can tell that my studying the actual content has paid off. I would advice you to answer a ton of questions and when you get them wrong really investigate why and learn more about that disease process. I think the disease concept is very important! Best wishes and I will be posting my results when I get them. Monday Ill post the results of the "pearson trick". I hope you get your ATT soon! :)

almostPedsNurse... I love this site, I will always visit it! I just would be content to never here NCLEX again! I hope I never have to take it again!! :) Ill be sure to post!

Momof3WannabeRN, You know in my home state there is close to a 90 percent past rate every year. I keep telling myself that and hope that I will be part of that 90 %. (This year 92 % so far) My heart still hurts for all those who do not do well on this exam! I just know that my program didnt cut us ANY slack and our test were very challenging. I know one things for sure once I past this test I dont even want to discuss NCLEX at all; I wont be back on the NCLEX forum! HAHA Best wishes to you! Stay away from the I failed replys, I AM! :) Positive Vibes until post June 7th! :)

Thanks L8RRN! Our school has had in the high 90s to 100s for the past 10 years. The gals who have passed were struggling students in our program. They said the questions were written close to if not easier than our regular test. Several of them didnt even review, they took NCLEX 1 1/2 weeks after graduating and had 75 questions and it stopped. That is encouraging and I just learned this today. I think the problem with this test is people fill you with fear and believe it or not that does A LOT to the psyche. I think scanning the forums was a BIG mistake. Reading about people that have failed several times made me discouraged. My heart goes out to them and I cant imagine how horrible it must feel. Ive studied and put the time in and God will honor that. I went into nursing because I almost lost my son to a heart condition, and set out wanting nothing more than to be a cardiac nurse. I interviewed in front of a panel of 5 Nurse Managers and was later pursued by a manager that wasn't even part of the interviewing process. I got a call two days later offering me a job in Cardiac Critical Care, and I didnt even apply for it! I cant help but think that was Gods work. After all I was picked out of a pull of 500 plus applicants and only 12 hired for various positions. I keep telling myself God has already laid out my path and this too shall pass! Keep me in your thoughts!! Ill post the final results!

Thanks everyone! The day is quickly approaching and Im a ball of nerves. I am spending the next two days focusing on Infection Control and Meds. All there is left to do is PRAY PRAY PRAY! God got me this far and provided me with my dream job right out of school in Cardiac Critical Care, he will get me through this! Isnt it amazing how we can put so much faith in others, but when it comes time to trust ourselves we fall short. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths. - Proverbs 3:5,6

I just graduated nursing school and I just have to ask is the NCLEX THAT bad!? I think my first mistake was reading various post on this forum about people who have failed the NCLEX several times and the questions are unlike anything you have seen in nursing school. My program has a very high passing rate and what I thought to be just like NCLEX question according to the instructors. Are there schools who do not ask hard critical thinking NCLEX style questions for EVERY single question on a test? I have been preparing since May 15th for my boards and took ATI throughout the course of my program.I have scheduled my test for June 7th. I have spent 5-8 hours a day preparing. I have focused on Kaplan Q trainers & book, Lacharity, & NCSBN.org study materials. I have done well over 4000 questions. When I came across a disease process I didnt know I would look it up and type notes to review at the end of the day. Kaplan & Lacharity are more like the questions I had in college; though honestly the ones in college were a bit tougher at times! I cant be alone when I say the more I study the less I know. I feel like its impossible to be totally prepared for this. My anxiety is SKY HIGH right now from all the talk Ive heard about this test! Im a horrible test taker in general, but having my dream job and livelihood of my family on the line I am freaking out. Someone pleaseee throw at me some positive comments. Is the NCLEX really THAT different that school? Are you ever truly PREPARED for this? What study material is most like NCLEX? Any tips for a gal who can get it down to two choices and one is always right, its just sometimes I dont pick the right one? I just need some positive feedback and just curious what others taking KAPLAN and ATI scored on their testing and still passed the 1st go round. Thanks in advance guys! Im not usually a wreck like this but I worked SO hard raising 3 young kids pretty much alone because my husband worked 4 jobs all during nursing school, and Im just ready for this chapter to CLOSE! *Excuse any spelling mistakes Im too tired to go back and reread my rant! :)
