I know this question has been done to death but im gonna ask it anyway, but slightly different. I took the test today for LPN, I think I may have failed, got to question 205 then it cut off. Didnt even finish the last one. I drove home, about an hour after taking the test I did the "pervue trick', said process was in delivery. Sat down for about 10 minutes refreshing my screen was gonna do one more refresh then give it a break and go to sleep. It showed delivery successful, I did the trick and got to the insert credit card information, payed another 200 bucks. I figured well screw it, if this means I failed I gotta re register anyway. Registration went through. Called Pervue they said I have to wait 45 days before I can take the next test. And there is no refund possible even though thats a long wait.
I guess heres my question. I read throughout these forums read quite a bit and I see people say they waited a day then they checked and im wondering, did I jump the gun? Should I have waited a day or 2 later instead of doing it the minute it went through? Maybe the computers werent in sync and I got to register by mistake? I dont know, thats all the hope i got left with today. Maybe I can still get a pass letter? heh, sigh.
heres a little back ground
I averaged a B in class, I absolutely kicked but in the course when it came to book work or testing. I dont know what everyone else had been through but my school was a city college and rediculously hard. I passed the ATI test with a 94 percent (im in california its a pretest to take the Nclex). I know my meds that was my thing, atleast thats what I thought. I went through 205 questions, correction 204 questions, most of which were medications I have never seen before. I couldnt believe it. I got slayed by the one thing I thought I knew about.
This is a very sobering moment, this is my life here and I can do it but when they throw some people a curve ball for their statistics or whatever excuse people come up with its not very encouraging. I think I just need a few days to pull myself together, im outta money, im crushed.

I feel ya!! Took mine yesterday, shut me off at 117, I know i got the last question wrong. Tried PVT, took me straight to CC page. I still keep logging on hoping maybe it'll change lol.. i know it wont. I cried all day yesterday, woke up this morning cried a little more, then i figured crying wont get me my license. The second time around, I will do it differently. I will study my tushy off and then register for the NCLEX. I messed up the first time registering then studying. Atleast we got the upper hand bcuz we will know our weak points when the paper roll through, and go from there. Anyway, keep ur head up, and best of luck to u!!

you gotta be careful by not giving up too soon...i was on the same boat last week....i took the nclex and 8 hours later i did the PVT trick that took me straight to the cc page....i was heartbroken after reading numerous threads about it being true...two days later, i found out that i had failed the nclex....the only thing about it is that you now have to wait for your board of nursing to send you another att number(that's how they do it in texas, you gotta apply like you did the very first time) and then pay pearsonvue...it's very expensive but we gat this....it does not matter if you are a straight A or B student....Nclex knows how to test someone's weak areas!! Don't lose hope...you will be fine!! Good luck!
