I took my NCLEX this morning at 8am. I had all 265 questions. It took me maybe 5hrs and 50 minutes. I went took the car maybe 10 mins after taking my test and did the PVT. I got the good pop up. I was so excited because last time I tested at 8am, I got all 265 questions, finished in 3 hours, and checked the PVT immediately and it gave me the bad pop up. It constantly gave me the bad pop up and I learned that I failed 48hrs later. This time I got the good pop up when I checked 10 minutes afterwards. I decided to check in 10mins later again to make myself feel better and now it's saying that I got the bad pop up. I literally can't stop crying. I tried so hard this time. Has anyone ever got the good pop up, then bad and passed?

You have to wait before you check PVT.
I did. It's saying bad now. But they claim you have to wait 24hrs. Idk. I'm nervous and nauseated. And my head hurts from crying.
I think 24 is too much.Bad pop up sometimes came up passing at the end.

The reason you got the good pop up at first when you tried it 10 mins after your test is probably because your results hadn't been transmitted to Pearson Vue yet. Hence the reason you are getting the bad popup now. This happened to me the first time I took my test, I checked the PVT right after testing and got the good popup. However about 15 mins later while on the phone I got the email from pearson saying "Now that you've completed your test blah blah blah", once I tried it after getting that email I began getting the bad pop up and sure enough, two days later I got my unofficial results as fail. Just take it all in stride and knock the NCLEX out of the park the next time if you have to take it!!
