The PVT was never meant to happen. It was not some trick invented to give us results before the 48 hour quick results were ready, it was a computer glitch that allowed us the peace of mind of finding out early if we most likely passed. Therefore it is no surprise that PV found a way to fix it. Those of us who are already licensed got lucky. New testers are not likely to have that sort of luck.
There is a new trick circulating that basically says you can still get the good popup if you try to pay. There is a problem with this, if you put in your credit card information and it allows you to pay, there is NO REFUND if you actually passed. The PVT was never 100% accurate, and false fails were more prominent than false passes. So if you put in your CC and it takes it, there is around a 5% chance that you passed and you just paid 200$ for an inaccurate trick.
Those in states that allow quick results will have to wait 48 hours. It is 48 terrible mind numbing frightening hours, but it's worth it not to pay for a new registration. Those in states not participating in quick results, you should call your BON after 48 hours and try to re-register on the phone. They should stop you if you passed.
The trick was a sanity saver for thousands, and it is sad to see it go, but it was inevitable that it was going to eventually get fixed.
Well I found out I failed for the second time. I don't even know where to start at. I have so many sources ( hurst, lacharity, NCSBN, nclex mastery, Kaplan ) that I have used! I am tired of studying..been in school for 4 years and am 46. I have anxiety as well and always second guess myself. Heck, even the last question I marked right to wrong!
i won't give up...just don't know what else to study!
Are you selecting an answer and then changing it? If so, that may be what's getting you. Your first instinct is usually right.
you have failed twice now Sdicandio? Take heart, many have failed many more times before they passed. And many who have failed many times have gone on to become incredible nurses. Keep at it, trust yourself, and remember, DO NOT KILL ANYONE!
I have a quick question do you know of anyone that got the notice card declined call bank or try a different card what does that mean and has any one got this and still passed ?
I just want to clarify, you and your friends did the new trick and whoever didn't get charged passed and whoever did got charged $200 again? Do you know or remember whether the status was "taken" or "successful delivery" or did it say "result not available." Sorry for all the question, I just took my exam today and i got the good pop up, but it seems like a lot of people are getting it.[/quote ] when I did it it still said results not available. So I guess it doesn't matter
Well I took my test today, I got all 265 questions, which was a torture all in itself. I tried the trick, sadly before reading this thread. I paid the $200 and am now seriously upset with myself for not just waiting the 48 hours for quick results. I guess time will tell. I have been a LPN for 5 years, and did so much ATI that I came out with a 99% chance predictor of passing NCLEX the first time. 265 questions later though I was definitely sweating! I couldn't think straight past number 200. I'm in for a very long and stressful weekend. I have wine though, and as we all know, wine is the answer to all nursing problems. I hope I passed, but if I didn't at least I got that test fee out of the way.
at least we got points back lol
