First of all, at 2 hours after submitting the test for score, the PVT likely will NOT be accurate. You need to wait around 24-48 hours for that. This is because the exam is scored twice, with the second scoring being the definitive one. At this point, you may have failed, but best case is that you actually could have passed and you'll only be out $200...

If your state has the "quick results" I suggest you do that.

hello everyone, I have spent the last several hours reading about whether people passed or not, I thought I might post something to get some responses. I tested today 10-26-16 at 8am. I got 265 question, I DO NOT feel good about it. had several SATA, priority questions, and meds I have NEVER heard of !!! I did the PVT 2 hours after the test and it took my money !!!!! I'm freaking out right now.... my family depends on this. does anyone have any advice.. I feel like my last question was above the level of passing????!!! I CANT SLEEP ! I want to believe that the PVT is inaccurate.. or maybe I did it too soon?? IDK someone please help, I cant face my family and tell them that I failed. someone pleasssssee help

A test taker can pass or fail after having answered any number of questions.

One of my former nursing school classmates passed after receiving the full complement of 265 questions.

I'm in the same exact situation. Had all 265, did the trick under 30min and it took my money. I should be able to get the quick results today and if I'm not completely stressed out I will post the result.

I read in the Kaplan book that if you get the last question right then you passed and if you did not get it right, then you failed. Do you remember what the question was and what answer you put? If so, look it up and see if you got it right or wrong. That could help you out A LOT knowing if you passed or failed. I took the exam and got all the questions but got the last question wrong, so I failed.

thanks for comments everyone. I hope by me doing the PVT it doesn't mess up my test. I mean, surely it would not alter my results right? I do remember my last question. it was a "it is most important the nurse does what" question. I am trying to determine if that is a passing level question or not. I heard the same thing from Kaplan. I know for sure I got the last question right, I looked it up when I got home. Does the 48 hours quick results start at the time you start the test, or finish??

@hopeandmope did you find out if you passed today???

HopeAndMope · Oct 27, 2016

Why would it judge you over one question? I think it analyzes the last 60 questions or so.

djparrish88 · Oct 27, 2016

people have suggested it to me a couple of times, also my Kaplan instructor told me that it does.. it doesn't just judge you on that one question, just knowing the level of difficulty of the question could indicate if you passed. if it was a below- u failed, if above -you passed. I don't know how accurate that is is

@hopeandmope did you find out if you passed today???

Still waiting for the results.

Failed. The trick is accurate.
