How many ways are there to find the "official" and "unofficial" results from the nclex-rn? I know that there is the PVT trick, that's unofficial. Is there any other form of proof of results? If so, do I have to pay for it or can I obtain it for free?

thanks for the congratulations! @ dlc17rn, glad to see im not the only one .. Also just to reflect my scores on kaplan with you guys: Q1 : 65 % Q2 : 54% Q3: 58% Q4 : 55% Q5: 59% Q6: 76% Q7: didn't complete... However for the Qbanks I did manage to score better grades: Ranges from 75-85 % Resources I used: Saunders ( read half the book ) Kaplan Q trainer + Q bank ( Qbank only about 500 questions ) Kaplan Course review book ( read only the blood transfusion chapter ) Nclex 4000 ( maybe 300 questions max )

So i took my nclex today at 8 am and decided to vent here for a minute. The day was already starting out bad. I woke up at 6:15, showered and prayed before leaving the house. I get to my car, and I forget the keys. So I have to walk back up stairs and get the key. Mind you it's like 7:15 and the paper states for us to be at the site 30 minute... Anyways, I sit in my car and drive towards my site. BOOM, traffic bumper to bumper... I do not know how I did it but I just sped and passed between cars like I was a pro. Got to the site and didnt even bother looking for parking because I was late, went right into the parking garage. Gave the man the keys and I went straight up to the building. When I got there it was exactly 745, I thought I was dead and had to reschedule (In the car, I was already preparing for the worse). Got through the preliminary procedures and waited to be seated. Let me tell you this much: I felt like I didn't know a DAMN THING. Every question I got, I had to take like 10 minutes per question just to think it thoroughly and not make any mistakes because we all know, we all want the "75 question turn off." Anyway, the exam proceeded through, I received about 10-11 SATA quesitons ( I was counting), 5-8 med questions, lots of priority questions ( first,initial,most,best), and lots of therapeutic responses, and 2-3 diet questions. Lots of diabeties, DKA, HNNK, no med math, one HOT SPOT, and thats about it that I can recall. But let me state this again, the exam was actually NOT as bad as I thought it was going to be, IF I had studied harder. I did not study adequately and I just went because I had no choice. Pressure was on for me to succeed... Ultimately, the exam finished at 75 and the cpu shut off (I started praying for it to shut off at 75 when I reached 65). I don't know if that's a good sign or not but the last 10 questions were priority questions. Does that mean I was doing okay?? .. oh well.. The situation I have now is, I really don't feel like I answered anything right. Especially those SATA questions, I know I couldn't have gotten them all right. There is just no way. But I did try the PVT trick when I got home. I did get the GOOD POPUP. But I find it hard to believe.. I don't have much confidence in my efforts because I really didn't study well enough. It's very obvious through how much time I took to take the test. You know how people finished 75 questions in maybe 1-2 hrs. I took about 3-4 hrs ( includes my break)... Maybe I actually knew my facts? I hope I did atleast.. Just venting...

One main question... This is a bit weird but.. I kinda talk to myself when I read questions. I have a tendency to read the questions out loud. Will this be acceptable during the NCLEX?? It's a habit I can not stop. I do not actually speak loud and inconsiderate but I do talk. What do you guys think?

ah okay he was probably exaggerating the pat down part lol. but atleast now ill know not to bring anything and have to wear just a simple tee and jeans lol. do we have to take off shoes also? ill just wear flipflops if thats the case lol

So my friend took the NCLEX yesterday and stated that at the site, before entering the test room, the PV officials conducted a search of his belongings and his pockets. They pretty much made him empty his pockets in his pants and shirt. Is this normally how they conduct their security measures? I feel it's not fair, and I have never heard of them doing anything like this before... I know we are suppose to remove watches wallets cell phones PDA, ipads, i pods, etc but what gives them the right to search through the person's pockets and do a pat down? Did they think he would try to cheat that badly? What do you guys think happened there and is that what they usually do? How did they "search" you guys? If they did at all -__-
