Yay!!!! Congratulations Hopefully at some point I can actually try the PVT again. :down: Waiting for 8 days has been a nightmare!!! :no:

I think the worst part about the NCLEX is the anticipation leading up to it. I really hope the PVT trick still works and I cannot wait for my official results.

Congrats!!!! Any tips or advice? Did you find the test to be extremely hard.

Well honestly, at least 80% of my exam was select all that apply. So for me, those are my weak spots. What I used to study was:

HURST for my content broke into sections by system (making flash cards for all of it, literally all of it). That was to be followed with a comprehensive Saunders book for questions and key points the next day. Any questions i got wrong i made a flash card for. Once i fished all sections i focused on PDA book which was great. And did thousands of questions. I sort of over did it but that's just the type of student I am.

My biggest advice, and the only thing that allowed me to pass was believing in myself. That and prayer. The exam is hard, but it's not supposed to be easy or everyone would do it. It's so surreal.. I'm at a loss for words :-)

Yes it does work. I got my quick results today and passed. Tried the PVT again after the hold was released and I got the same message. Yippee!!!! I'm a nurse :nurse:

When did you v test retrievergirl?

RetrieverGirl, BSN, RN · Mar 10, 2014

March 3rd. My test results were on hold because of my palm vein scan. Took 8 days for me to have the option for quick results. Supposed to be available 48 hours after exam. Once the hold came off and I got my quick results I tried the PVT again and received the pop up message that you are showing.
