Hi eveveryone,
So yesterday I finally took the NCLEX after the testing sites closed due to the infamous corona Virus. I was scheduled to test on 3/17 but was my test date was cancelled due to them closing all testing sites. To be honest, I felt lost after that. I stressed over because the next available appointment was in May. That was going to be way too much time for me to wait. I kept going on the website to see if anyone would maybe change their testing date. Eventually, the testing site where I live reopened. I saw that someone had changed their exam and I was able to reschedule my exam to April 2nd. I did start studying more for the NCLEX. Even two days before the exam. Let me tell you, I felt prepared as I have been studying for two months. The test was the hardest thing I have ever taking in my life. I got about 5 drag and drop questions about 25 SATA, No calculation questions, 6 graphic questions and the rest multiple choice. I did indeed end up getting all 130 questions. I kinda felt like I was very slow at answering the questions 2 hrs had passed and I was on question 65. I took a break to recharge, I kept getting harder questions than easy ones just a similar path. I started getting a headache. I was on question 130 and I still had 30 minutes left. It was very dumb of me because I was getting very stressed out about the time and ended up rushing through the second part of the test. After I was done, I went to my car and cried. I didn't even want to do the pearson vue trick after I got home because I already knew that I had failed. Today, I did do the pearson vue and got the "bad" pop up. Now, I am trying to figure out how to study this time. I still don't know if I passed or not. But, If I did not pass I will use this experience to do better next time managing my time and not rushing through the exam.

Yes I did the PVT too and got the good pop up.. but I'm still nervous because I did not feel good when I walked out of the testing center. I hope that I can at least get the quick results tomorrow even though its a Sunday.. ?
I felt dazed when I walked out. Like literally confused. I just sat in my car staring. People keep asking me “Was it hard?” I don’t know. I only remember vaguely 3 questions (one being a rhythm strip around question 58)
I still can’t believe it.
when I did the PVT I still didn’t really believe it. Then Monday morning I paid and got the quick results. Still not sure if I believe it.
You’ll get your results tomorrow:) I’m sure you did great!

Good Morning
I've heard of people getting the bad pop up and it being wrong so I would just wait....
I took the NCLEX yesterday as well and felt sick the whole time. When the exam shut off at 60 I was so scared that I would be the one to fail in 60 questions. I did the PVT and got the good pop up but I won't believe it until I get results.
To study I used UWorld, Mark K and NurseAchieve.
