PVT New Trick?

Published

Hi,

I took my exam yesterday (2nd try) and my computer went blank after 78 questions. I had a lot of SATA and one drag. Some meds, no ob/gyn, dosage or pedi questions. I am so scared right now. I did the PVT with a card that had no funds cause I honestly just don't have the money right now and got the "Insufficient funds" message. I've been reading on other threads that, that means that i failed. I am in tears right now. Others say that this doesn't mean anything. Any comments or suggestions? I am in Texas so I won't know until tomorrow afternoon with the quick results.

You only had 28 questions? You must get through at least 65 questions, I believe. Someone will correct me if I am wrong. It does not sound good.

Wait for quick results for a definitive answer? No one here can tell you your results with any certainty.

The 28 questions must be a typo because the minimum amount of questions anyone sees on the NCLEX-RN is 75.

No trick, new or old, is reliable. The new trick seems even more unreliable than the first assessed from all the other posts about the subject. Wait till tomorrow and good luck.

75 questions is the minimum. 28 is impossible.

Please don't stress over tricks. You'll find out tomorrow.

NCLEX RN minimum is 75Q, NCLEX PN is 85Q minimum. If you shut down mid exam at 28Q there would be an incident report and you would have been moved to continue at another computer terminal. I'm guessing you shut down at 82 questions?

Sorry, it was a typo. I just edited the post, I had 78 questions.

No problem. From most of the recent posts I believe that the "NEW" PVT is utterly useless in determining pass or fail. Just wait for the quick results if Texas allows them. Relax for now, there is nothing that can be done at this point.

Wishing you the best.

Nothing you posted indicates anything one way or the other.

Stopping at 78 questions means you did very well and passed, or did very poorly and failed. Based on your student history, studying habits, etc.....which is more likely?

Hang tight, wait for results, and see where things are at that point.

I tried it using 2 different cards (1 with enough funds and another with low funds) and both times it gave me the same pop up "our records (blah) (blah)." Sadly, I will not know my results until 2-3 weeks (maybe 4 weeks) because I live in Ca and they don't participate in quick results. Please let me know if you passed or not when you get your results.

Guys i just found out i passed yesterday since its already 12:20am here in california! I waited about 3weeks and 1day to get my result! Before the website update to a new trick. I was getting good popup, then finally two days ago i did tried the new trick and it gave me the good popup. My card has only 8$ in it. So i guess it worked and it didnt charge me or sent me something like insuficent. So the new trick is reliable! Imo!
