TAKING THE NCLEX-RN in a few hours...

Published

Been studying hard all month long and now its time to test. Was nervous all week, but relaxed and chilled yesterday. I went to the movies and relaxed all day. I test in a few hours and I am still very relaxed not sure if I should be nervous. Haven't told anyone that I`m testing today though. Will update you guys once I finish. I`m hoping to use the Pearson Vue trick once I get out oft he exam...hope it still works.

SHould I be worried that I am calm and relaxed even though I have a major exam in the next couple of hours?

You studied for a month and I think you're calm because you're well-prepared for what lies ahead. Best of luck to you! I'm sure we'll hear good news from you shortly! I take my test next week so I'm hoping I feel calm like you before mine! 😊

Not good, I started out strong and then it got rough...30-40 SATA, tons of meds, no calculation 6 EKG strips, 2 drag and drop in order and 3 pictures. Most of the questions were on prioritization and infection precautions. The test was long and I kept praying not to stop at 75. In the end I stopped at 206 and ran out of time. Still feeling calm though but now I know I failed it...Having a not so good feeling about it.

I just bought a MasterCard gift car as suggested by someone on here to try the Pearson vue trick and it said my card declined - ' The payment was declined. Reason: Contact your credit card company or use a different credit card." And that is the bad popup. So I guess its back to the drawing board, study, re-register and get ready to do it all over again in 45days. Will check again in 2 days once the quick-results are avail, but I am not holding my breath at this point.

Sorry you had a bad test 😔but the PVT is not official so try to keep your chin up and think positive thoughts.

Sorry to hear. But you have the right idea. Keep going. How did you prepare?

Sorry to hear all this :(

I don't want to give out too much hope, but it IS worth at least mentioning that it's not that the PVT might not "work"; it's that the PVT is useless before a 24-hour wait. According to what you found with it, it looks like you failed on your first scoring. But you did not wait for the SECOND scoring. Only that score matters.

Most of the time the second score matches the first, but it DOES HAPPEN that they don't. And since you had many questions and ultimately ran out of time, you aren't an automatic anything.

Your results will be based on the last sixty questions you answered:if those last sixty had you above the passing standard for enough of a % to conclude a 'pass', you pass. If not....you fail.

So, while it's not terribly likely you'd pass....it IS still possible. Best wishes!

I found some confidence in the fact that around 86% of people pass the first time. Hopefully your license will post quickly.
