6th time taking NCLEX RN, Does PVT still Work?

Published

Hello guys

I have been reading this forum for a while and today I decided to register.

No better username than the one I chose.

My story is LONG.

I don't even know why I am here, what I need today, or what I hope to gain from writing this.

I'll start from the most recent. Earlier today, I took my Nclex RN exam for the sixth, yes I mean 6th time in this glorious and big state of Texas. I currently feel like.... well BLANK!

Does the Vue Trick still work in 2014? If it does then I must have failed again for the 6th time after 265 questions.

Is it still a fail if the registration page takes you to the credit card page? *sigh*.... I want to "faith it till I make it"... Wait for two days to check the official "unofficial result". I want to speak in tongues for the next two days and have heaven ANSWER MY CRY. But... After trying the trick again... The credit card page came up and I just think I might as well....accept... or maybe... I should faith it.. *DOUBLE SIGH*

I took breaks during my exam, I was sort of running out of time, but I still made it through all 265 questions.

Always a believer that "Impossible is nothing" I chose to never let the previous failures deter me from trying "one more time". Yes, I took breaks, vacations even, and relaxed in between each exam. I also studied using different materials. I've been lurking on AN.com for a while now, I know all the suggested materials.

I've shut down some part of the world, Ignored things that generally make me happy just to FOCUS on studying.

I fasted for days and prayed. I made promises to God and sowed seeds. I tried to be a good person, and I made lifestyle changes. I am not complaining, just listing things I've done to make me worthy of this Nclex RN license. Well, not really worthy, BUT you get what I mean right?

For today's exam, I mainly used Kaplan. Did all the QTs etc. Granted I didn't finish all of my question bank, but I did over 75% of the question bank questions and answered all the QTs. For content, I have gone over so many resources.... I have also used Nclex 4000, and answered questions from different sources.

I felt ready (or so I thought) this time. most importantly I had peace of mind, confidence, and believed God is ABLE. And still the credit card page comes up.

In all 6 exams, I have held up strong, and I am still holding on.

Ok... I think I'm done. I know for a fact that in God's time, I will become and RN, and I will still go ahead and check my result using the quick result. I'll be sure to post what comes of it.

This is one of those really sad things people don't share right? Well, I can't possibly be the only one in my shoes right? I think I'm using this mode to vent since I didn't even tell people I was taking the exam this time. I wanted to surprise them with my success story... and not have everyone nervous for me while I was taking the exam. I could answer questions if you have them.. but I won't share any more here.

P.S: I have an LVN license and I did THAT exam ONCE! Answering 85 questions.

And I did THAT exam with the knowledge that I wouldn't work with it since my goal was becoming and RN. I still haven't worked with my LVN license. And I've now been out of BSN school for over a year and still not passed my RN boards.

Isn't life funny?

Just wish I was laughing... But I am surprisingly alright... I didn't think of failure this time around, so I can't say I'm better than I thought I'd be. I was focused on success. And I believed it would happen for me. . .

Actually after writing all this, I want to Faith it till I see my quick result. Pray for me y'all...

So, did you get your result?

Im confused, because when i did the peason vue trick i got a pop up saying i cannot register at this time.. and it said that until my results were ready which was 48 hours after my exam time.

after getting that pop up i confirmed the PVT 48 hours later that i passed using the quick results

NO result yet. I tried the PVT. Just took the exam today.

The PVT took me to the credit card page. No pop up. It wanted me to enter my credit card info and register to take the exam.

I'm sorry. I hope its a glitch or something.. I'm not sure what that means.

Now, wouldn't that be awesome. Thanks for your kind words.

I'm just here reading on so many other people's stories for the 100th time. I too will be an RN someday soon.

I find I over study at times. It's a thing trust me:) Sounds like you've already studied your heart out maybe you are freaking yourself out. I bet you know more than you realize. I understand the PN is a different test at a different level but maybe that test was easier since it was just a stepping stone for you. Perhaps you were less freaked out about it. Just a thought..... Either way you can do it:) Good Luck!!

That was what I thought after exam 3. The 4th exam, so I pretty much didn't really study and did questions only. Answered 75 questions and could have sworn I had passed. I was like, "Oh my, that was it all along, I over studied".

I did the PVT and I got a pop up then! BUT the wordings of my pop up was slightly different from the ones I kept seeing. It said I couldn't register because I was on hold. Not because I was previously registered. Then I paid for my quick result and found out I failed after 75 questions. Definitely the worst feeling ever that one was. Lol... I was like the computer didn't even GIVE ME A CHANCE. lol...

Yeah I wouldn't give up yet, maybe since you've taken it several times the trick won't work! Good luck and keep us updated! You can do this!

Hi my Dear, you are not alone. Your name is how I am feeling also. Don't give up hope yet wait for your quick results. But, If your didn't pass still don't give up. Because, the race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, but to those who endured to the end. Endure! Endure! Endure! You are not alone. I graduated in 2008 with my BSN and because of situations beyond my control I couldn't do the NCLEX-RN then. I did it 3 timed in 2013 and failed and once in March 2014 and failed. So, it will be m 5th time taking the NCLEX. My biggest problem is over analyzing on the exam. I will purchase the NCSBN 8 weeks antake take it again in the Summer. Like you I fasted, prayed and sowed seeds. But, God is the Lord of the harvest. Our time is not yet. Jeremiah 29V11. God have a plan for us. We will continue to Endure. Don't give up. The race is not to the swift or battle to the strong but to those that endure to the end. ENDURE! ENDURE! ENDURE!

I have the same story like your's.I have also failed NCLEX-RN over 6 times.But passed my LPN exam in 1st attempt with 89 questions.To me when i was giving LPN exam i felt like i was giving the RN exam.LPN exam is so similar to RN.

Don't give up it's just a matter of time.Sooner or later we will reach there.

Good luck!!
