The Dude 9

oh... thanks silver... didn't notice where the thread was nested... :)

after the CBT and completing the verification forms... do applicants under the new process of registering under the NMC have to wait for a decision letter? or is the decision letter only meant for those under the old process... thanks in advance! and congratulations to those who passed!

First off, congratulations! Regarding the payment, I'm confused. Do we have to pay another £130 or does the initial payment for the first sitting cover the second? Oh, and does there seem to be anything new regarding the critical questions mechanic?

I have also found mine in the mail today. But in quite curious at to why there are 2 attempts again and why NMC sent me a message saying to check my Pearson account for my score (I thought that they remarked the old one, only to find the same result)

Hmm have you had any problems rebooking the exam? Because a fair number of people I know aren't able to book their second exam and both Pearson and the NMC are pointing fingers at one another

Consider yourself lucky and congrats, but now that you've passed what's next in the process?

yeah.. but problem is i still can't book a second sitting even when im waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy past the 28 day wait period.. >.>

Apparently majority of the those who took last December failed, and upon asking around the people seem to be passing this January. Now if only I could book my second sitting and there wasn't the 2 take rule.. Things would be looking up

pretty much sums it up... i just really wish they weren't charging us for a shoddy system. even if was a new format they should've ironed it out because it feels as though we're funding their experiments in some way. at least they could've taken out waiting for 6 months if by any chance we fail for a 2nd time.

Do they have an ebook and if possible link? :)

The problem lies where they are holding examinations with 2 takes all the while the exam is going through revisions. They should at least test it until a stable one comes out before making us pay for it

Based on the candidate guide, I'd say about 20 (assuming the math is right and none of the domains have critical questions in them). Pretty huge, Considering that if we don't Ace the critical questions, it is highly unlikely that they would mark the rest of the exam. >.

So far the only thing they got rid off according to other takers were the indications for the critical questions. But I think they stand firmly with the mechanic T.T

This is just too cruel..

They keep throwing me the 28 day gap between taking tests. But I keep telling them in already past 28 days but still unable to book my second sitting. I really hope that they scrap the 2 take rule because 6 months of didactics (before sitting take 3) is heavy considering that what caused the failure isn't the examinees incompetence with regards to nursing.
