I first want to thank all the nurses/nursing students that put their testimonies about the nclex ! Because that has given me so much to learn from and gain knowledge.
I first took my nclex may 2015 and got 85 questions. I felt like i knew the stuff cause the questions seemed easy. I studed kaplan qbank, exam cram and ready Mary hogan book.
as soon as i finished my test i did the pvt trick, since california does not provide quick results. It took me straight to the credit card page and i hit submit and it charged me and i receieved my acknowlegement for registering .
well soon enough my letter came in the mail and i failed. So the pvt was accurate.
Second time i took nclex in December 2015 i recieved 125 questions and this time i studied kaplan again and read ati reviews. Honestly i feel like i didnt know anythin except conent but that wasnt enough for the nclex. So i tried the pvt trick again, sure enough it let me register and i recieved my letter weeks later sayin i failed!
Well this time i took my Nclex in April 2016, and got 85 questions.i didnt do kaplan or any of the stuff i did before since it wasnt helpful. I ended up buyin UWorld! I got much better on my SATA questions and i knew my meds and the side effects. Uworld was the only thing i used to studied this time. And once i got inside the test center, i took it in padadena. I didnt know the what the heck i was answering. I got bunch of SATA questions and meds. And that was where Uworld came in. Except i wasnt sure of my answers , everything was a blur. I finished the test and told myself that test was harder than the last two times iv taken it and i should study again. I went to my car and sat there upset and still processing what had happened in the test center. I didnt even want to do the pvt cause i had felt like theres no way i could of passed. Well after 24 hrs i decided why not just pay for it and get it over with. So i tried the pvt and i got the good pop up. "Our records indicate you have recently scheduled this exam another one cant be made at this time" something like that, i was shocked! I never recieved the good pop up and i had failed, but this time it didnt let me process my payment! Im waitin on my results but i am not believing the pvt cause it seems too good to be true!! California take 3 week + more to send out the results. I will keep you posted
I passed! I got my results in exactly a Week!!
