I received my ATT for NCLEX-PN on September 29. It says there that the Last Date to Register is March 29,2016.
My question is do you have to register by March 29 on Pearson or do you have to take the test before or on March 29?
Can I test say on June? Will it still be valid when it says that the last date to register is on March 29, 2016. Please help.

Your ATT has an expiration date -- 3/29/16 -- and you present a valid ATT to sit the test.. Thus the last date that you would be able to test would be 3/29/16. Any test date after would require a new ATT.

The last date to schedule & take the exam is 3/29/16. If you attempt to schedule the exam for 3/30 or don't register at PV until close to 3/29 you need to reapply to the BoN. You generally must register and pay at least 2 weeks before your ATT expires so you can have time to schedule your exam before it expires. If you register and pay on 3/29/16 I guarantee you will be out of luck as there won't be a same day appointment.
Don't delay the longer you wait the greater you reduce your chance of passing

Why are you waiting to take NCLEX 8 months after receiving your ATT?
Im confused. Which one is the ATT? Is it the one that came from the mail from BNVPT in a letter size mail envelope that says that the Last Date to Register is March 29,2016. Or the one coming from Pearson Vue, after I paid another $200 to register in their website, and they said that I have to wait for 3-4 weeks. Will that have another validity date than the March 29, 2016 one? Please help.
Pearson will email you (assuming you gave them your email) your ATT with a link to schedule. If you already received a notice from BVNPT it will be quick from PV. Check your junk/spam folder. You can always call Pearson to follow up
Yes I gave them my email. So this one coming from Pearson Vue, will it have a different length of time for me to test or will it be the same thing from the one I got from the mail from BVNPT that says last date to register is 3/29/15?
No. The BoN dictates the expiration date. You will not be given longer than 3/29/2016. If there is an ATT number on the letter you can likely schedule now.
The longer you wait your statistical chances of passing drop tremendously.
If you don't schedule before 3/29/16 you have to pay $150 again to BVNPT and another $200 to PV. Is it worth an extra $350 to procrastinate?
