Are you referring to the pearson trick to see if you passed or not? I thought you have to wait a certain amount of time first before doing that. ?

This is my 3rd time testing, I think that test and I are becoming good friends now. First test was 205 questions. results failed. last test 83 questions. results failed but I felt soo good about all the answers. Today 85 questions, I know everyone says the ammount does not matter, I agree.
But here's what I think does matter. I kept getting the same types of questions throughout the whole test. I got only 4-5 calculation questions, and a ton of questions about patients understanding instructions, and a ton of medication and drug questions. Other than that there were only a few questions about other things. So I'm convinced that because I didn't get a wide variety of questions then I must have failed again.
Anyone else experience something like this and pass?
I'm so depressed right now. I just got fired from my job because they don't want to wait for me to get my license, and they said I'm taking too long to get it.

Dont belittle yourself, you may have passed. Try the trick, it REALLY works!!!!!!!!! You just have to wait until it says delivery successful on your screen, and then you are good to try! It should say delivery successful right where it shows you your appointment date. Good luck.. !!

Are you sure you have failed? You only took the test today and most if not all have a bad feeling after sitting the exam

Unless you have your results back I wouldn't just assume that you failed. If you have to retest, then good luck. And if you find out you passed, which I hope is the case, then try to get your job back. At any rate, good luck.

Please stay strong and think the best of things. What you assume mostly happens so assume good things. My blessings are with you.

Well I just did the trick and it asks for my credit card number to pay another $200. So I guess that I did fail. I'm starting to hate nursing now. I enjoyed doing nursing in the military, but here it just sucks and I'm horrible at taking tests.

You guys know I was fully qualified to start emergency Trach's and complete procedures for a tension pneumothorax, but here I can't even pass a stupid test about what patients say. It's Bull$***. I guess it's good that i'm going to school for IT. now it will be my main career I guess.

Thanks for the courage everyone and good luck on your tests. I don't think i'm going to pay another $300. to keep going through this.
