Took exam today for third time

Published

I took exam today at 8 am.. I am in Kansas so know that I can get quick results. I was just wondering if the pop up actually works? I am just really praying I passed, this was my last chance before I had to write nursing board for extension. I got the good pop up, and it would not charge my card I tried it twice about a hour or so after I took exam. Thanks for everyone's help.

i previously took exam twice and got to credit card and it tried to charge my card.. Thanks

The PVT is pretty accurate. If you're getting the good pop up 24 hours after, you are pretty much good to go! Congrats. :}

It's not been 24 hours.

I have to wait 48 hours to pay for results..

You only have one more day for an accurate pass/fail result!

Go on your state Department of Health website provider search and enter your name and date of birth to see if you have an active license. That's what I did and I knew within 5 hours. Good luck!

Hey Guys, I'm from CA and I took the NCLEX PN on April 28, 2016. As for study materials, I only used Saunders 6th Edition. Did practice questions everyday after work after reading the concepts.

On the day itself, my computer shut off after 85 questions. Got a lot of SATAs and Prioritization. I really felt frustrated cause the exam was so hard. Like no joke! In my head I was like, "Are you kidding me???" after getting back to back SATAs.

That was two hours of torture. Yes, I took my time answering the questions. I was also scared cause I know that if I get the maximum items, I wouldn't have enough time to finish the test. After the test, I was so mentally drained. Got home and after reading the forums, I did the PVT and got the good pop up after 8, 24, 48, and 72 hours. It kinda relieved my anxiety but I needed to see the official results.

However, my friends told me that the PVT is not reliable due to the glitch in their system.

They also said that I should check my name and license number at the Board's website and if I don't see it after a week, it is likely that i failed.

Any thoughts? The wait is just killing me. Anyone of you in here who took the NCLEX PN on the same week? Any ideas of when I'd be getting my results?

Help! :cry:

I took my test yesterday and tried the trick and it worked for me because I received a email from the board of nursing because they needed finger prints because I passed!! So I didn't have to wait the 48 hours! Which is great. But the trick on website must be pretty accurate.

You can't in CA. Once you pass you have to wait for the notification then pay the $150 initial license fee before you will have a license posted.

Yes you're right. But some of my friends have already seen their name and license number posted before they got the official result. The wait here in CA is just crazy. haha

No text speak please.

I have heard they changed it in 2015 to where I have to type in ur card information and if it charges ur card then u failed and if it doesn't charge ur card that u have passed. And that is now where the pop up happens. And that is what happened to me this third time. It would not charge my card it had the red triangle box and said "our records indicate you have recently scheduled this exam. Another registration can not be made at this time."

In the days when I took my exam, we waited 12 weeks for results and the test was only given twice a year.
