So I took my RN boards today and it shut off at 75. I felt horrible about that exam. I had like 30-40 questions that were SATA and felt like I didn't know anything. It's the most daunting feeling to feel/know you failed. The pearson vue trick is dead. Any advice or comfort? Feel so down. Didn't feel this was with PN boards. Took exits 2 weeks ago and got 1106 on HESI. Thought I was ready... 0 Likes
scaredsilly, BSN, RN Aug 25, 2014 There are scads of people who passed with 75. The number means nothing. Some state BONs are very fast, keep looking on yours, perhaps you won't have to wait the 48 hours. 0 Likes
NicoleBrokaw Aug 25, 2014 I will keep my eyes opened. Thank you! Just hope I'm part of that passing group. Waiting is the worst part when you feel this way. I always have with test and end up being ok. Just this is my ticket to further my career. Alittle different 0 Likes

RN403, BSN, RN Aug 25, 2014 You are not alone. I don't think anyone comes out of the exam feeling too great. Just know you tried and prepared to the best of your ability. Hopefully you will not have to wait much longer. I know it is hard, but, try to do something to keep your mind off of the exam. Best wishes. 0 Likes

I seriously doubt the system that reports pass/fail results to the billing system (the PVT itself) has changed. They have just changed the way that you get to see the PVT result and that new way may result in you paying for a new test. Hopefully you got the "good result" prior to having to confirm payment... 0 Likes
