Took the NCLEX RN exam today....75 and good pop up...

Published

The test was a blur, I can only remember bits and pieces of questions from the test. I was on question 60 at the 2 hour mark and took the optional break and came back answered the next 15 and the computer went to a blue screen....I almost died....I thought come one give me a couple a more, because at that point I didn't feel I was doing well at all, every other question was a SATA, no med calculations, no hot spots, no fill in the blank, just SATA....in a daze I filled out the survey, which I have no idea what i selected. The proctor came over and told me I was finished and the tears just started, I think it was a combination of relief and doubt. Since we had to travel a distance to take the test I needed to find wifi ASAP, we sat in front of a Sheetz store (it's the PA version of a co-gos or 7-11). After approx. 30 minutes from finishing the test I logged in to Pearson and attempted the "pearson vue trick" and it would not allow me to proceed to the payment screen. I got a message that I was already registered for the test and would need to contact a member of the board of nursing. So I hope to the Heavens that this is a good sign, I'm so stressed out. After I got home I tried it oh, about another dozen times and got the same message. But now the pearson site is down for maintenance, figures, so I can't keep checking, but according to their site it will be up at 10:45 ct, I will keep looking. I cannot wait until I get the option to pay for my "early results" in 48 hours.

After reading your post, I seriously thought one of my friends posted this on my behalf!! Your story is exactly like mine!!!! I am so anxious too! I took the NCLEx today too an feel the same way! When my computer turned blue, I thought I totally failed. It was so hard for me. I was sitting there trying to remember what I studied. Anyways, after 75 questions, and 30 minutes later, I too got the good pop up!!! I couldn't believe it... And I still don't believe it. I just want to see the word pass next to my name. I'm nervous with this scheduled maintenance that a glitch in the system occurred and I got the wrong pop up!

What to do to get the pop good

here are the exact steps to see if you passed or failed the nclex exam on the pearson vue web site:

1) go to NCLEX Testing with Pearson VUE.

2) select the 'test taker services' tab at the top.

3) click 'register' on the right side.

4) click the 'credit card' link.

5) click the 'sign in' link in the second sentence.

6) enter your username.

7) enter your password.

8) click the button.

9) click 'register' on the left side.

10) select your test type.

11) click the button.

12) select your country.

13) click the button.

14) answer the yes/no questions.

15) select your country again.

16) select your state.

17) type in your city.

18) click the button. a list of schools should appear.

19) select your school.

20) select the month and year of your graduation.

21) select your board of nursing.

22) click the button.

very important: at this point, if you get a pop up that says 'the candidate currently has test results that are on hold. a new registration cannot be created at this time.', it has nothing to do with passing or failing; it just means that they are reviewing your records due to random reviews that they conduct, or because they needed to locate some data or papers, etc. this means you will possibly have to wait a few more days than your friends who did not get this message. if you get the message 'our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. please contact your member board for further assistance. another registration cannot be made at this time.', that means you passed. if you do not get either message and go straight to the credit card information page, that means you did not pass.your pearsonvue account must state that delivery is successful before you try the trick.

If this pop up thing doesn't work I'm going to just die!!! lol!! I've checked the PA license registry like 50 times today and nothing has changed yet. Some say the RN license has been posted after 36 hours, but it is Sunday, so I assume like other government offices they aren't working weekends! LOL!! Also I took this in WV and that may delay the results too. But I am still checking only for my sanity! I need the reassurance! The test was just so random and honestly I remember eliminating 2 and then it was like a stab in the dark with the two left over, I tried the intervention vs assessment, then maslow, then abc's and some were just too close in comparison. I had SATA every other one, some back to back. blah, just glad it's over and am praying that the "good pop up" truly works!!! Just like you I need to see the word "PASS", then I will relax!!
