as long as it says "Delivery Successful" under your account and you got a good pop up, that means you passed. i took my test on a thursday and got my Quick Result on a saturday afternoon. congratulations! :)

If I remember it right, if it's in a situation where help is accessible like in a hospital E.R., you prioritize the patients using the ABCs. But in a disaster situation where seconds count and help is inaccessible, you prioritize the ones that can be saved fast which is the most logical thing to do in a time of crisis. The rationale of this is that you will be saving more victims in a grim situation, rather than waste all your time and effort to only one victim who has a slim chance of surviving in a very difficult situation.

Ditto. It's a MUST! Good luck!

You know what I remember from the test? I had about 5 audio questions. I was just fortunate that I clicked on audio questions from Saunders like the day before I sat for NCLEX - seriously. Tricky part was that the answer choices were the audio, and the question was something like, "The patient came in coughing, blah blah... You auscultated his lungs and you heard this sound which suggests blah blah." I panicked and tried to calm myself for a whole minute there then listened to the choices for at least 4x. Then the other audio question was about "S3". I was like... "***********!" I got more questions that were similar to Saunders. Kaplan's questions are too confusing... and their so-called "strategy" didn't really work for me. I figured I would only waste precious time if I'd concern myself too much of their recommended strategies rather than using those seconds/minutes understanding the question presented.

Just with your basic EKG readings. At least know what a vtach looks like, or vFib, or normal sinus.

I believe that there is an expiration for NCLEX eligibility. Why don't you go ahead and register? It takes 4 weeks before you get your ATT. Your ATT has expiration too, but it won't be for a few months. That'll give you like almost a year if you want to take your own sweet time in studying for the test. It's not like once you get your ATT, you are pressured to sit for the test immediately. I remember receiving my ATT the 2nd week of July 2010, then I picked the date in November, and finally took the test 1st week of January 2011. Long enough. :)

Could there be something wrong with your study habits? Take a step back and remember your strategies in studying. 1. Did you answer hundreds of questions daily with not enough focus on the rationale of each correct and incorrect answer choices? Focus on the rationale. 2. Did you give attention to ALL the given choices. Know what makes one the right or the wrong answer. 3. Are you more concerned with the number of questions that you must do every day? Number is nothing as opposed to retention of what you read/studied. 4. Are you focusing more on your weak spots (topics)? You should. 5. Do you usually retain what you studied for the day? Important details should stay with you after a day, a week, a month, a year. Own what you learn. Plain memorization is useless. After taking the test for 3 times, you must have an idea now which type of questions you find difficult to answer. You at least know now how you fare in particular topics. Devote more attention to those topics. How are you with Pharmacology? With Math? With Endocrine? With Delegation/Prioritization? With Cardio/Neuro? With Assessment/Implementation? With Peds? With Infection Control? With your normal lab values? Unless you are sure that you have covered all the bases and you are confident that you know enough or the basic knowledge in all areas - do not pressure yourself into taking the test again just for the sake of getting it over with. It is a waste of money, time, attention, and emotion. The 4th time, do things differently. Take your time. Obviously, you were doing something wrong in the past 3 attempts. Make the 4th time your last time. Good luck!

Hi! So sorry to hear about your dilemma. A friend of mine, a Filipina, came here (USA) as a tourist, took her NCLEX-RN here, passed it, but was never provided an RN license because she didn't have a Social Security Number, never found a company to serve as her sponsor, and was never able to secure a working visa throughout her stay here. Her NCLEX-RN status has expired now and was advised to take the test all over again. Here's a link on how you can get your SSN. http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10096.html Of course these are just hearsays. I suggest that you click on the link and find out how you can reach the SSN office for correct info on how you can fix your case. Good luck!

you can't possibly memorize all the meds out there. but it would help if you make your own notes on drug classification, list a number of drugs under those types, indicated for what, side effects of it and to what it is contraindicated. half of the drugs i encountered on nclex are unfamiliar to me. but what helped me get through those questions were my own notes that i read over and over. i believe that familiarity is the key. from my experience, questions with regard to medications are presented with a patient condition. question will be, "Which medication should you double check with the physician?" 2 of the answer choices given would be obviously wrong. with the 2 left, usually they are unfamiliar medications, but those would fall in a particular classification that is familiar to you. good luck!:)

try it again. make sure that you don't create a new account. you should log in using your original account. make sure that it says "Delivery Successful" on your record before you try the "trick". hope things turn out well!

I would've written the entire process, but then it's thoroughly discussed in another forum. click on this link: https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/pearsonvue-trick-part-403722.html goodluck!

Thanks everyone! I printed out everything in this topic and read it for countless times. It was a huge help when I had my test. Took it on the 6th of January and passed! :)

I used Kaplan, Lacharity, Mnemonics, and Saunders. When you do your questions, look at the rationale after each question or after every set. The Kaplan test question sets of 75 to 150+ didn't actually help me, because I was more concerned of my time and how many correct answers I got - instead of understanding the question presented and the rationale of the answer. LaCharity is an awesome book. Prioritization and delegation helped me a lot in my NCLEX. Personally, the strategy of how it answered questions is way better than what is taught by Kaplan. Mnemonics was a huge help in remembering the essential facts. But it will be difficult to understand the mnemonics unless you know the significance of each. Now with the Saunders, I did the questions ONLY. I didn't even bother reading the lecture part. Afterwhich, I would look at the correct answers and would really concentrate on the rationale. If there's one detail that confused me, I had my laptop handy and researched online for better understanding. Do the questions on the DVD provided when you have free time. No pressure on how many questions you should do daily. Do about 20 per day, as long as you make sure those 20 rationales stay with you. If you think you are in a great mood and with a clear mind, do as much as 150 in a day. I would do questions while watching TV or while at work when I'm not busy. I made some notes of all the normal lab values. Know what those values mean. It is not college anymore, memorization per se won't do the trick. You've got to know the meaning of those values. I also made some notes on Pharmacology. Tricks and list of meds. Just keep going through your notes until it stays in you. The downside of memorization is that when you forget it, it's gone forever. Make your own strategy on how you can remember what you read... but as I keep saying, UNDERSTAND what you read. I printed out a copy of the FACT THROWING page on this website. I would read it when I am bored, together with my little notes. Repetition is the key. Read it over and over and over. Somehow, it stays in your subconscious. Good luck!
