Took NCLEX & got all 265 questions with "bad popup"

Published

I took the NCLEX today, I felt really confident going on. A lot of my fellow classmates have been passing with 75 questions. we had an ATI live review person come and talk to our cohort and explained that getting 75 questions means you passed and getting 265 questions means you failed. I did really well on my ATI comp predictor and Uworld predictor. I even pushed my NCLEX test date up because I was ready to take it!

Well, I took it today, and got all 265 questions. I was in there for about 3.5 hours. I was so nervous when I saw questions come after 75 but I tried really hard to stay in the right mindset and keep going and push through. I pushed through until 265, I was so devastated! I bawled my eyes out when I got in the car! I am sure I failed! I did the Pearson Vue Trick and got a message saying my card was declined which made me even more devastated. I guess I just want to hear if anyone else has similar experiences and what was your outcome? I heard mixed things about the pearson trick. I am finding it hard to have hope at this point!

Thanks y'all

So I sat my NCLEX today. The computer cut off at 125 questions and then I did that research survey. I had a few SATA, Prioritization, Dosage, about 2 Pictures and Matching, tons of Psych, Delegation, OB, a lot of “follow up” man you name it! Anyways, I tried my best to answer each question at the beat of my ability. Long story short, I tried doing the PVT and got the “BAD POP”. I see some people said they got the “BAD POP” and still passed. I believe the trick is accurate as much as I am trying to remain positive. Did this happen to anyone? My nerves are horrible and barely managed it during nursing school. Right now I just feel sooo horrible. Soo much mixed feelings. My heart is pacing, my stomach got butterflies ?

I am just scared! Nothing ever come easy for me. I always have to keep trying again. That sucks but I’m proud of myself for getting this far and for never giving up!

Hi!! You can read the post I just made, but I'll summarize! I did the trick and got the "bad pop up" but in reality, I passed. I ordered pearson's 48 hr quick results and my name is already up on the state board! I was so miserable for 2 days bc I believed that this trick worked (everyone on the internet said it did-lol), but it didn't hold true for me.

Also, your statement about getting 75 means you passed is not true! It's possible to get 75 and fail and also possible to get 265 and pass ? Have hope and lmk what happens!

Hey omg, thanks for responding you’re giving me hope. I didn’t check back because I was just sooo scared I can’t stand the butterflies. I said I’m just gonna wait for the 48 hrs. I still don’t know if I want to pay for the quick results. That’s how scared I am lol! But that’s the only way to find out. I’ll probably let me husband do it for me.

Congratulations ??
