:down:I know everyone has heard this time and time again, but I needed a outlet for my frustration. I went to the NCLEX upbeat and ready. Within an hour I was frazzled and ready to cry. Every question got harder and harder. When I got to question 85 I about jumped out of my seat in anticipation. (All of my classmates stopped at 85 and passed) I was at the top of my class and graduated with honors. I couldn't wait to get up from that seat. When it hit 120 i was starting to get scared. I didn't even take my break because I didn't think I would come back. when the screen went blank blue at 205 I thought OMG my whole life is depending on this stupid computer. It was all I had to get out of the building without dropping a bucket of tears. I cryed all the way home which is about a hour and a half even stopping at a reststop to be able to really cry. When I got home my husband said well you have just wasted your life huh! ERRRR How aggrevating! I don't know but it is all I can think about and unfortunately this test was taken on a Sat. we do have quick results but I don't know if I can or want to loook at them. My fav teacher i called her on the way home and told her she offered to call with the results. Well anyway I love this site and all of the encouragement. I cannot call my classmates so thanks for listening!:idea::o:trout::madface:

Most of us walk away in complete shock. You may be surprized, the results may be there today. I also took mine on a Saturday and I was told to check in three business days; meaning the following Wednesday. I called the Monday just to walk myself through the process and when I heard that I passed, I was completely shocked!!! It may be the same for you. Good luck!

Waiting time for Quick Results is 48 hours, even if it falls on a weekend or holiday. Pearson-Vue computers do not take time off.

Best of luck to you on your exam.

I am going to move this thread to the NCLEX Forum and not specific to LPNs/LVNs. RNs have the same issues with that exam.

Yes, let us know what you find out. It can be very frustrating during and after the test. Least with the Saunders you can see your results of the practice tests/quizzes. But having to wait. Glad you have results right away. Im taking my test again tomorrow and won't know till like 4 weeks away. I don't have the quixk results. The wait is going to be horrible.

You may consider checking whenever you want, because many times, people have had their results on Pearson Quick Check as soon as 24 hours after their test. It depends on the amount of people who sat for the exam. If it was not a high volume, they may have posted them early. I discovered mine that way...just testing to see WHAT to do when it was time, and wah-lah... the results were there. I wish you the best of luck!!

This thread is close to 18 months old.

Pearson-Vue results are never available before the 48 hours after testing; you are never going to see them the day after the exam.

Best of luck to you.

And you got your results from your BON, not from Pearson-Vue.

I am reclosing this thread since most of the information is old and there are much more recent posts.

Congratulations on passing.
