I promised myself to write what I did after I take test 2 so here we go (pass or fail):
Ok so I took my first NCLEX on July 24st and failed at ~140Q. I studied for about 3 weeks for it. Near passing in all section. I studied hurst q trainer and lacharity. I didn't do content, just questions.
After I failed, I took 2 weeks off and resumed to studying (about 5 weeks of studying for the 2nd test). I studied the hurst book and videos for about 2 weeks straight (really know this book, especially the day 1 electrolyte chapter). I also borrowed my friends NCSBN because she passed already and had 2 weeks left on the account, did only the question bank and rationale at least twice. Finally I did the kaplan Q trainer 1-7 (Qt6=59% Qt=57%). Reviewed all the rationale at least twice. I also have a full time job so it was kind of hard to focus. Deleted all my social media accounts (fb, ig, and didn't play video games anymore)
So today I took the NCLEX and stopped at Q 78 or 79 (I don't remember). 20 SATA, 5 DRAG and DROP, 2 PICTURE QUESTION, and 1 EXHIBIT SATA. My last question was a prioritization and I know I got the question right (thanks to Kaplan). Got home, tried the pearson vue new trick, used a credit card without balance and got the good pop up. "our records indicate that this candidate has a test scheduled already...blah blah blah"
Just hope I passed this time. I felt more confident after taking the exam. I guess official result will come out tomorrow or will probably they my name on BON for my name.
Thank you guys !
Don't be discouraged after failing!

I took my exam last sept 19-2014, friday. Finished at 12:40 pm. Went home and tried the PVT. Directed me to the cc page. Filled up form, hit the submit without balance in bank. Then a pop up says "your registration is on hold". Then on my phone a confirmation from the bank says your "transaction with pearson vue blah blah blah...insufficient fund". But my status was still Results not yet available. I felt horrible. Tried it again next day. went to the cc page again filled up form, hit submit a "Your payment was declined, choose another card". Why did pearsonvue tried to take the money, while my status was "result not yet available". Then the next day i kept on checking, still the same thing. Until 10:00 pm the result was available. Tried the quick result, thought i still have at least the amount for quick result. they an ALERT sign pop up that " YOU CANNOT SIGN-IN TO YOUR ACCOUNT. PLS. CONTACT US TO REMOVE RESTRICTION." has anyone encountered this problem. Now it's a monday 8 pm still can't contact pearson. Anyone out there pls reply me. tnxxx :)

Hi.. i took nclex-RN yesterday and stopped at around 115 questions. i got a bunch of SATA's. 15 of those. then, 1 ECG question and 5 with pictures. all are prioritization, Infection Conterol and Content. No calculations, i checked on the pearson vue website and it say's " Results not yet available ". I'm not gonna try the PVT trick and i'll just wait for the official results. i'm quite anxious because i already took this the 2nd time. but, i just Lift my exam to the Lord. As far as i have read from all the comments based on the PVT trick. well, it may worked for you or not. just wait for the official results. if you Fail, there's always next time. Just be positive..
