These are not facts, but your opinions. Good bye.

I didn't say this didn't happen, if you would have read my post. What I did say is that I don't believe it's 50/50. There are other blogs and webpages besides allnurses that have talked about this and have found that the trick still works. As far as this topic I am done and done with allnurses. Nothing but negativity.

Not arguing opinion with facts. I am simply stating give me an evidence based studying on this topic not what their or your opinion is. I am not giving my opinion just my experience. I am just stating from what I have been told through my nursing program. Which is we were told everything that has been stated, but have never experienced anyone being charged and later finding out they passed. Has it happened? I believe it has, but not even close to how much it hasn't. What I really am trying to say is that NCLEX is a stressful time in a persons life and I don't think people should be attacked on this site for the experiences they have had.

BBYgirl, I totally agree with what you are saying, but trying to argue your opinion on this site is useless. Like one of the posts said they are experts (I don't agree). Yes, all tests are the same in every state, but not everyone gets the same test because it is adaptive to how you answer your questions. Yes, the test is scored twice. Do I personally know anyone who has been charged the $200 and pass NCLEX? No. Has the so called trick worked for my school for this year and the past years? Yes. Are we a small nursing school? No. What I do know is that you can go into Pearsonvue without fully trying to reregister and it will tell you if you have any tests you can register for. Everyone I know that passed it showed you have nothing to register for at this time. The experts are consistently saying that people are being charged the $200 and end up passing just as much as the people who are not charged. From everything I am reading I just don't see that. Do I believe in evidence base practice? 100%. So I ask for the experts on this page to back it up with evidence based practice. I want clear facts, not just what you think is happening.

Um I didn't find the other comment to be rude. I find you RNsRWe to be rude. Who makes you an expert? I have done my research on this topic as well. Everyone has different experiences with retrieving their results and can be very encouraging to others. Yes, they score it twice. But really come on, does the score change more often then not the second time around?

I know exactly how the scoring works. It is scored twice.

I find it hard to be coincidental when 40 plus people take the test and all but one get the good pop up screen and the one who didn't got their credit card charged. Everyone who got the good pop up passed and the one who failed got charged. Not coincidental. I believe that the trick works.

Correction, it is 48 hrs from the time you start your test. If you start your test at 0800. In 48hrs at 0800 you quick results will be available.

Everyone in my class who has taken NCLEX within the last 3 weeks have all done the PVT trick within an hour after taking the test. Every single person who did it got accurate results right away. No one waited for the 24hr mark.

My other scores were both 59. I had a lot of pharm oriented questions on my test. If you can learn the suffixes for the drug categories that will help you out. The pharm in the Hurst packet is what I concentrated on. I wasn't one of the lucky ones to have the computer shut off at 75 but I think 88 is really good. Test anxiety got the best of me.

I only did three of the tests and my highest score was a 62 and passed NCLEX last week. The key is a really good solid foundation on Med Surg knowledge. You must be doing practice questions everyday. I used the NCSBN program for that.

Start by converting grams to milligrams then from milligrams to micrograms.

You first of all need to figure out the conversion from 2g to mcg.

I am not going to lie. Nursing school is hard work. It is different then your gen eds that you would study for. The grading scale is higher than the regular grading scale. So yes, it is hard to maintain your GPA. My GPA is no where near what it used to be. But on the other hand it's achievable. All Nursing schools are this way. Aurora is a great school.

My GPA was 3.85 and the TEAS was 70. I know others with a lower GPA that got in. Plus they have also expanded the program to allow more students in which helps.
