Validity of PVT when you have a previousl license...

Published

Is the PVT trick reliable if you have taken the nclex before? I have my LVN already, had gotten the good popup for that and recently took my nclex rn and got the good popup for that. So does that mean I passed or no?

If you get the good pop up, you passed no matter what. I answered the questions both ways meaning I said I had taken the test before and that I had not and got the good pop up both times. You are good hun! Congrats.

I'm also an LPN. The only manditory one you need to answer is the one with the red * which reads Have you ever taken an NCLEX exam before? I did it by answering the questions every way possible (only the red * one, answering yes to the questions, answering no to the 2nd and 3rd..every which way), the good pop up came up everytime.

I got my quick results and found out that I passed. Still in disbelief and keep expecting them to be like, oops, just kidding, you failed.

When I told my husband about my quick results PASS, he said..see now you can breath and relax!

I said...'yeah, well, I still don't believe it. I won't breath or relax until I see my name with my license number after it...not just saying PENDING" hahahah.

I did the same thing with the NCLEX-PN when the quick results said PASS.
