Hi Trammie, The PVT trick for CA worked for everyone in my class so far. Check out my post for more info. Best of luck to you :)

Sup ya'll~~~~ I PASSED I took the test (CA) on 08 Oct and got the results on 27 Oct :) The "PVT trick" worked for all my classmates and so far we are at 100% (worked 5 hours after the test for me). The wait time varied - a few got results in less than a week; majority got results in 2 1/2 weeks. I must have gone to gym/swimming/sauna 17 out of 19 days. I gotta tell you I'm getting in really good shape lol. I celebrated today and went to an all-you-can eat Korean BBQ, drank a 22oz beer, and drank a neat glass of scotch.. Soooo goood!! Just wanted to say thanks everyone for being so great and for those of you waiting.. Best of luck! You will do great! :heartbeat:hug:. I wanted to leave you with this: A voyaging ship... … was wrecked during a storm at sea! And only 2 men were able to swim to a small, deserted island. The 2 survivors not knowing what else to do agree that they had no other recourse but to pray to God. However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island. The first thing the 1st man prayed for was food. The next morning, the 1st man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land. And he was able to eat its fruit. The other man's parcel of land remained barren. After a week, the 1st man was lonely and he decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked. And the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the land. On the other side of the island there was nothing. Soon, the 1st man prayed for a house, clothes, and more food. The next day, like magic, all of these were given to him. However, the 2nd man still had nothing. Finally, the 1st man prayed for a ship so that he and his wife could leave the island. In the morning, he found this ship docked at his side of the island. The 1st man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the 2nd man on the island. He considered the other man unworthy to receive God's blessings, since none of his prayers had been answered. As the ship was about to leave, the 1st man heard a voice from Heaven booming, “Why are you leaving your companion on the island?” “My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one who prayed for them,” the 1st man answered. “His prayers were all unanswered and so he does not deserve anything.” “You are mistaken!” the voice rebuked him. “He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings.” “Tell me,” the 1st man asked the voice, “what did he pray for that I should owe him anything?” “He prayed that all your prayers be answered...” ...For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone... But those of another praying for us. When Jesus died on the cross, He was thinking of you!

Did you get your results? My friend took it Oct 6th and he got his saturday 10-23.

My advice is to pray and get a good night of sleep. Arrive early and stay focused. Good breathing techniques and remember - You can do it :) My friend just got his results and the trick worked, so hopefully I will get my results soon :) Good Luck everyone!

Ahhhrg!! Still no results - last Friday was a furlough day (CA board) and Monday was Columbus day., this wait is not cool! Thank goodness for the gym and swimming. At least I'm getting in shape lol.. @chin0603 - yes I've tried the trick for my friend, and I everyday and we get the good popup. Hopefully they didn't patch the software where the trick doesn't work anymore :0 Positive thoughts FTW!!

Congratulations on your exam! I'm still waiting - oh the dreaded pain in my stomach, mind body and soul. Ahhhh!!!!!

Thanks ya'll, I'm still nervous but I feel the support from my family, friends, and the great people on the net. I will keep everyone posted as soon as the results come. :redbeathe

Hey all, I wanted to share my experience because this website really helped me out the past few weeks. I took the test on Friday, 08 Oct 2010 NCLEX-PN in CA. I got 147 questions, I was freaking out during/after 85 questions because I was surely thinking it would stop then. My advice is to stay calm and keep focused. At 93 questions the computer offered me a break in which I refused and kept on going. I felt that I was calming down a bit and I was on a roll. Everyone's different but I suggest if your starting to find the groove then keep going and breathe. I gotta tell you nursing school and clinical rotations trully prepared me for the test because the questions on the test were very straight forward and required critical thinking. I suggest reading posts on how to take tests on critical thinking. The exam took about 2 1/2 hours. After the exam I was so out of it. I was shaking and felt sick to my stomach (I still have that feeling) - I guess this is the feeling when you trully want to accomplish something. After the exam I called a few of my classmates to tell them I was freaking out. One of my friends wanted to meet up so we went to eat at a resturant. I felt better because of my friend's support. As soon as I got home (5 hours after the exam) I went on to the Pearson vue website to try "the trick." I got the good pop up and I felt a little relief. I've been trying the trick for the past 3 days. As far as results goes, three of my classmates took the exam (CA) and got results by mail within 8 days from the exam date. I guess it's the luck of the draw as far as processing. I will let everyone know if the PVT trick is accurate from 5 hours after the exam and also if getting 147 questions means anything. My preperation for this test was to just go over basic stuff and do lots of questions from CDs (I studied 1-2 hours daily or a little less for 2 months) but the test was on my mind 24 hours a day for the past 4 months. I used Saunders (school provided), Lippencott, and just surfing the net really helped. I know this is cliche to say, "stay calm, you know this, you can do this, breathe" but thats the true keys of passing. I only say this because I felt that I was a mess then I got back into a calmer state by good breathing techniques. Although I don't know the results yet I wanted to share my before thoughts and my current waiting period thoughts. God is great and I found that He is always there. Thank you allnurses.com and all the wonderful people who post their thoughts and well wishes, it really helped me out. I will come back hopefully soon to share news that will change my life but more importantly my parents life. I wanna help them out because they deserve a break. They are always there for me and now, I wanna be there for them! GOD IS GOOD!!! Thanks all! Best of luck to everyone - I know you will do great! Believe in yourself because the light at the end of the tunnel is for everyone. We can share it!!
